About this home
REDUCED! Ask about an interest rate buydown, where a seller-paid credit can be used to lower your rate and your monthly payment. Charming Coastal Retreat. Tucked beneath mature oaks and pines on a 0.45-acre lot with no HOA, this meticulously maintained coastal home sits just a few blocks from the beach in Carolina Beach. With a sparkling saltwater pool and an easy walk to the sand, it offers a rare mix of space, privacy, and convenience. The turret-style architecture and wraparound front porch give it instant curb appeal. Out back, the private, fenced yard is built for entertaining and centers on the pool. A versatile three-season room is the perfect spot to unwind, whether you're catching an ocean breeze or watching the sunset over the pool deck. Inside, every bedroom has a ceiling fan to keep you comfortable year-round. The third bedroom gives you the flexibility to use it as an office or flex space, whatever fits the way you live. A tankless hot water system means endless hot water and added efficiency. Pride of ownership shows throughout. This home has been carefully cared for inside and out. The oversized lot gives you room to spread out, which is a true rarity this close to the beach. Mature landscaping and a two-car garage add both function and curb appeal. Whether you're looking for a primary residence, a second home, or an investment property in one of the coast's most sought-after beach towns, this one checks every box: location, lot size, condition, and lifestyle. Don't miss your chance to own a piece of Carolina Beach living.
