About this home
In a coastal environment where strength, resilience, and peace of mind are just as important as luxury and location, 1517 New River Inlet Road stands in a class of its own. Thoughtfully engineered and constructed to exceed typical building standards, this extraordinary oceanside estate was designed from the ground up to withstand the challenges of coastal living while delivering uncompromising comfort and elegance. Positioned on a rare 1.49-acre oceanfront homesite that spans both sides of New River Inlet Road with approximately 226 feet of direct beachfront and private beach access already in place, this exceptional new construction residence offers approximately 5,600 heated square feet of luxurious living space in one of the most desirable locations on Topsail Island. From the moment construction began, durability was a primary focus. The home features robust 2x6 exterior wall construction, extensive galvanized hurricane strapping installed from the roof structure to the first-level LVL beams, spray foam insulation throughout floors, walls, and ceilings, and a Blue Skin weatherproof barrier system protecting the exterior surfaces. DP-50 rated impact-resistant windows provide enhanced protection against coastal storms, while the roof system incorporates 3/4 inch plywood decking, a high-temperature water and ice membrane, and a standing seam metal roof with concealed fasteners. The roof structure qualifies for a Fortified Roof insurance discount, reflecting the home's superior storm-resistance design. Equally impressive is the home's commitment to long-term reliability and owner confidence. Features such as an upgraded stainless-steel sewer lift station, hot water circulation systems, premium insulation, Trex temperature-resistant decking, and elevated construction demonstrate a level of planning rarely found in today's market. Adding further peace of mind, the home is situated in an AE flood insurance zone. Inside, the residence offers an exceptional blend of sophistication and functionality with five bedrooms, five full baths, two half baths, an elevator, two laundry rooms, dual wet bars, a walk in pantry, quartz countertops throughout, and custom 8-foot solid wood doors. Soaring 10- and 11-foot ceilings create a bright and spacious atmosphere designed for both everyday living and large-scale entertaining. The outdoor living experience is equally extraordinary. Expansive Trex temperature-resistant decks overlook the Atlantic Ocean, while the elevated heated and cooled swimming pool creates a private resort-like setting. The property is also pre-wired for two hot tubs and offers over 1,860 square feet of insulated garage, workshop, and storage space featuring epoxy-coated floors and oversized high-wind-rated insulated garage doors. Paver driveways and parking areas complete the home's refined coastal aesthetic. More than a luxury beachfront home, 1517 New River Inlet Road represents a rare opportunity to own a residence engineered for the future-where exceptional craftsmanship, advanced structural integrity, and breathtaking oceanfront living come together in one remarkable property. For buyers who appreciate not only where a home is built, but how it is built, this may be one of the finest oceanside opportunities currently available on the North Carolina coast. Attractive Seller Financing offered.
