About this home

Seller financing available -- two homes, one address, three ways to make it work. This Carolina Beach duplex sits five blocks from beach access and Carolina Beach Lake, with each side offering 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and roughly 1,250 heated square feet. Every unit lives like a house: a downstairs primary suite with walk-in closet, open living and kitchen, in-unit laundry, and two more bedrooms with a full bath upstairs. Separately metered, with a 16-year rental history and short-term rentals permitted -- hold long-term tenants, pivot to nightly beach rates, or live on one side while the other helps carry the note. Equally suited to multi-generational living, where everyone gets their own front door. Built in 1999 with a 2018 roof, newer LVP flooring, fenced backyard, private decks, storage shed, and off-street parking for both units. Call for lease details and financing terms.
