Property Description
Where coastal charm meets relaxed beach living, this Carolina Beach home blends comfort, style, and laid-back luxury just four blocks from the ocean. Sunlight fills the main living areas and creates a seamless flow between indoor comfort and outdoor living. The layout is practical and flexible, making the home ideal as a primary residence, second home, or investment property. The kitchen anchors the main level with quartz countertops and a spacious gathering island that opens to the living and dining areas. Natural light enhances the flow of the space, creating an inviting setting for everyday comfort as well as coastal entertaining, and sliding doors extend the living area onto a covered balcony ideal for outdoor dining or evening relaxation. A private guest suite is also located on this level, offering convenience and flexibility for overnight stays or multi-generational living. Upstairs, the owner's suite provides a quiet retreat with double closets, a spa-style walk-in shower, and a private balcony designed for morning coffee and ocean air. An additional bedroom with a full private bath completes the upper level, giving each guest their own comfortable, private space. Outdoor living shines here, with two covered decks that extend your living space and invite year-round enjoyment. The corner lot's side yard is a rare highlight in Carolina Beach with ample room to park a boat or add a pool. The enclosed garage offers a versatile workshop area and additional storage, ideal for bikes and beach gear. With an outdoor shower, irrigation, and generous parking, everyday living is effortless - and with no HOA, you have the freedom to shape the property to fit your lifestyle. Here, the lifestyle is as good as the home itself. Walk or bike to the beach, the lake, the Island Greenway Trail, Carolina Beach State Park, or the boardwalk for summer fireworks and live music. Grab a drink at the Fat Pelican, catch dinner at Surf House, or enjoy sunset over the water -
