About this home
Seller is offering a $25,000 ''use as you choose'' credit with an acceptable offer! Perfect for upgrades, improvements or closing costs! Deeded beach and intracoastal access! A rare find! Welcome to this one-of-a-kind oceanfront, single owner home in Surf City! This home has been thoughtfully and intentionally designed in every detail by it's owner-a renowned architect-with no detail missed in this extraordinary home. The sought after Channelbend neighborhood provides both deeded beach access and intracoastal access with a private boat ramp and boat dock, giving the best of both worlds in beach living. Upon crossing the threshold, you're greeted with a private courtyard: expertly landscaped with a pergola and a great place to enjoy a cup of coffee or a private moment. The property features direct beach access from the front and rear of the property, with a new walkway and access installed in 2026. An engineered retaining wall has been built underneath the home to keep everything in it's place and provide extra space on the exterior of the home. The home's deck was intentionally designed to be lower than the main living level of the home to ensure that there are unobstructed views of the ocean from inside the home. Inside the home you're greeted with breathtaking features and views. The home is filled with plenty of natural light and the light of the afternoon and setting sun is caught through the upper windows on the northwest side of the home. Climb up the ships ladder and you'll find a bonus space that is perfect for an additional guest space or play room, with access to the catwalk that spans the living area. There are three bedrooms and an office space on the main living level, along with an additional bedroom on the ground floor. The master suite features a room that would be perfect for an office or study, and an ensuite bathroom with a walk-in tile shower and jacuzzi tub. On the ground floor, you'll find the perfect entertaining area after a long day on the beach. There is an extraordinary bar that is constructed from 200 year old doors from Kuwait and an impressive and unique chandelier from Kuwait as well, a nod to the owner's travels and experiences over the years. There are two additional finished rooms on the ground floor, an additional bedroom with a full bathroom and walk-in closet and the attached two car garage. There is room for at least five additional vehicles at the front of the home in the graveled parking area, giving plenty of space for guests. The exterior of the home is a combination of fiber cement and grade 1 cedar siding, creative and stylish, yet low maintenance and durable exterior. The home has had numerous items updated in the last couple of years to include 3 HVACS, 2 water heaters, refrigerator and electric range. This home is truly ready to move in and be worry free. The Channelbend neighborhood is environmentally friendly and was thoughtfully designed to protect the natural elements of the island. The neighborhood has the only maritime forest on the island, with the natural trees and shrubs protected during the development to preserve the peaceful canopy of the neighborhood, and to protect the views of the oceanfront lots. The sound front side of the community has been deeded to the homeowner's association as a common area to protect the natural views and coast line of the sound side of the neighborhood. The homeowner's association also has deeded oceanfront access and a private boat ramp and day dock. With 22 homes the neighborhood has been built out and will not have further development within it. This home is truly unique, schedule a showing today to experience it for yourself.
