Accessible by 4x4 only. This 18-bedroom oceanfront home magically combines grandeur with the feel of the old Outer Banks. The warmth of natural materials abounds in marble, stone and slate, generously tiled bathrooms, granite kitchen and bar tops and tile and heart pine flooring. A commercial-type Viking kitchen and ample dining space make meals a pleasure. Several well-stocked libraries and other private places provide opportunities for quiet retreat. The pool table, baby grand piano with player-piano option, and PA system provide the tools needed for all occasions.
Enjoy sunrises over the ocean and sunsets on the sound from this home’s high elevation and extensive decking. A raised walkway leads you to the large pool and pool house. Enjoy the gazebo dune deck, a chance to see wild horses and ultimately, the ocean. "The Mark Twain" invites you to relax, escape the hardships of everyday life and create cherished beach vacation memories. Approximately 2.3 miles up the beach.

Overall very nice lay out of the home, with open and flowing living space on the main level. Great outdoor pool area with the heated pool, hot tub, and bar area. Some minor issues: a few door handles were not reliable, needed tightening, otherwise they would not close properly. The addition of another full size refrigerator was a good idea for the basement. Wi-fi stopped working 1/2 way through the week, but Twiddy was responsive with a WiFi hot spot loaned to us.

The home is simply magnificent, and the caretaker and cleaning crew were fantastic.
