About this home
A RARE FIND INDEED! -- OCEAN VIEWS WITH ROOM FOR MORE!! Whether coming to the island to find home or to invest well... There is easy access to both the ocean and the sound front. Enjoy your morning coffee on the deck with warm sea breezes washing over you. Take a tour of the Bogue intercoastal on a kayak. And, finish the day with a nice hot tub soak under the privacy of a beautiful canvas sail. This 3 bedroom 2 bath home was torn down to the studs and thoughtfully remodeled. Check out the Additional Information sheet that includes replacement of roof, windows (DP50 rated), doors, electrical, and so much more. It is positioned on high ground and borders Emerald Drive, 6th Street, & Ocean Drive. The property is fantastic as it is, however, with a little imagination there is more space on the lot to enjoy. You could rent out the bungalow while you build your dream house; or, you could expand the existing structure with an ultimate outdoor living space including a larger deck and pool. There is so much to do with this property. Make a point to schedule your showing today.
