Located just four blocks from one of Carolina Beach's most desirable beach accesses with public parking, restrooms, and ADA-accessible beach access, this mid-island location offers convenience that's difficult to match. Situated on a spacious southeast-facing corner with generous setbacks, this thoughtfully designed home captures abundant natural light, expansive big-sky views, and a sense of openness rarely found among island townhomes. With over $80,000 in documented improvements, the oversized chef's kitchen is a standout, featuring expanded cabinetry, an oversized island, Bosch professional gas range, Bosch refrigerator, KitchenAid dishwasher, custom range hood, pantry, under-cabinet lighting, granite countertops, tile backsplash, and reverse osmosis drinking water system. The spacious living area showcases a custom shiplap fireplace feature wall, while hardwood oak stair treads, waterproof LVP flooring, upgraded lighting, custom blinds, closet systems, and beautifully finished tile bathrooms with custom glass enclosures reflect quality throughout. Outdoor living is equally inviting with a southeast-facing covered porch, fenced front yard with deck, professional landscaping, built-in planters, private side yard, and covered outdoor shower. Additional highlights include a finished garage with custom storage, whole-house Culligan water softener, Ring security cameras, complete hurricane shutter system, buried propane tank, fiber cement siding, engineered construction, architectural roof, and energy-efficient Low-E windows. Seller requires a leaseback through June 2027, providing immediate rental income while allowing buyers to plan for future occupancy. One of these things is not like the others... and once you see it, you'll understand why.
