About this home
Enjoy the best of Carolina Beach living at 1231 Pinfish Lane, where classic coastal charm meets thoughtfully designed, low-maintenance living. Just a short stroll from the beach, this custom-built coastal cottage is nestled on a palm-lined street adjacent to one of the most quaint and sought-after neighborhoods in Wilmington Beach. Designed by the current original owner, this home reflects a level of care and attention to detail that is evident throughout. A generous covered front porch welcomes you, and inside, an open floor plan creates an easy, comfortable flow for everyday living and entertaining. The cozy interior features custom cabinetry in the kitchen and baths, quartz countertops, crown molding, 8-inch baseboards, recessed lighting, and durable LVP flooring that brings warmth to the interiors while keeping maintenance to a minimum. The primary suite is a true retreat, featuring tall custom-made vanities and an oversized walk-in shower with a built-in niche and quartz shower seat. Upstairs, you'll enjoy a spacious loft at the top of the stairs, offering flexible space for a home office, media area, reading nook, or overflow sleeping space. Additionally, you'll find 2 more spacious bedrooms, and another full bathroom. Step outside and embrace the lifestyle that makes Carolina Beach so special. East and west-facing porches give you the perfect spots for morning coffee, afternoon relaxation, or unwinding with an evening sunset. The porch fireplace creates an inviting gathering place well beyond the summer months, while the private, fenced backyard and outdoor shower make coming home from a day at the beach easy and enjoyable. For those who love to explore on two feet or two wheels, the Island Greenway is approximately a ¼ mile away, offering easy access to biking, walking, and jogging. And when you're ready for sand and surf, the nearest beach access is just a ½ mile away--a quick bike or golf cart ride, or leisurely walk. Thoughtful extras such as a whole home reverse osmosis system and an elevated, climate-controlled storage room add functionality and peace of mind to this home. This home has had only one owner and never been rented. No HOA on this home allows you the freedom to enjoy short and/or long term rentals should you choose. From its custom craftsmanship and classic coastal architecture to its private outdoor spaces and convenient access to the beach, Greenway, Boardwalk, dining, and entertainment, 1231 Pinfish Lane captures the easygoing Carolina Beach lifestyle in a home designed to be enjoyed.
