About this home

Coastal charm in abundance in this quintessential Oak Island cottage, ideally situated just steps from the Intracoastal Waterway and marsh, and a quick two-minute drive or three-minute golf cart ride to the beach, local dining, and shopping. Frame-worthy curb appeal greets you with a classic white picket fence, lush coastal landscaping, and a dedicated firepit area ready for starlit gatherings. The inviting front screened porch, painted in soft coastal hues, features a ceiling fan, updated lighting, and ample room for both outdoor dining and relaxed lounging. Step inside to a bright main living space defined by a soaring vaulted ceiling with custom woodwork, rich character, a cozy fireplace, and low-maintenance tile flooring. Sunlit windows illuminate the room, which features a clever closet-to-beverage-center conversion perfect for entertaining. The kitchen is smartly designed with a cozy breakfast bar, crisp white backsplash, open shelving, abundant cabinetry, updated lighting, and stainless steel appliances. Down the hall, the primary bedroom is styled with privacy shades and curtains, while the second bedroom is outfitted with bunk beds to maximize sleeping capacity. The updated bathroom features crisp wall and floor tile, an upgraded vanity, modern lighting, and custom shelving. Outdoor living continues seamlessly out back with a second coastal-painted screened porch equipped with ceiling fans and room for dining, opening directly to a private hot tub. A custom raised wooden walkway connects the house to the attached carport, which houses the included washer and dryer and serves as the ideal golf cart perch. In the backyard, two versatile detached outbuildings offer endless flexible potential for a home office, gym, hobby space, or guest quarters. These two buildings are unpermitted. No HOA and not in a flood zone. Complete with built-in hurricane shutters for total peace of mind, this home is the ultimate turn-key retreat for coastal living.
