About this home
From ocean sunrises on the back deck to harbor sunsets on the front porch, this charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath beach cottage captures everything you love about island living. Ideally located just one block from the ocean and public beach access, you'll enjoy an easy bike or golf cart ride to the Carolina Beach Pier, Freeman Park, the marina, boardwalk, restaurants, and entertainment. Inside, classic beach cottage character blends seamlessly with thoughtful updates. Charming details including beadboard chair rail throughout and a retro painted tin ceiling in the primary bedroom create warmth and personality. The spacious kitchen offers ample cabinet space, an island with bar seating, and opens to a large living room on one side and a cozy dining area on the other. There's even a dedicated 'work from anywhere' nook. In 2024, the home was elevated through a FEMA grant using a resilient helical piling system encased in concrete block. Since then, the owners have made numerous interior improvements, including luxury vinyl plank flooring, updated bathrooms, fresh interior paint, and new appliances. Earlier updates include a 2018 roof and 2021 HVAC. Out back, two detached buildings enhance the property's value and flexibility. A two-story, approximately 700-square-foot structure was previously used as an apartment and offers exciting potential for additional living space, a guest suite, studio, or rental opportunity with renovation. A separate approximately 250-square-foot workshop provides abundant storage for surfboards, fishing and boating gear, bicycles, and all your beach essentials. Whether you're searching for a full-time residence, a weekend getaway, or an income-producing beach investment, this classic Carolina Beach cottage offers an unbeatable location, significant recent improvements, and exceptional versatility. Competitively priced and sold furnished, this is an outstanding opportunity to own a beach home just steps from the ocean. Schedule your showing today before it's gone!...
