This 3 bedroom, 3.5 bath coastal home in Surf City, NC was laid out with everyday life in mind, and its location backs that up. Built in 2013, it sits within minutes, or an easy walk or bike ride, of multiple grocery stores, restaurants, boutiques, and breweries, along with the Surf City Community Center and the town's new skate park, and it's just over the bridge from the beaches of Topsail Island. The result is a home that keeps daily errands simple while still putting coastal recreation right at your doorstep. Short-term rentals are permitted here too, opening the door for buyers eyeing a primary residence, a weekend getaway, or an income producing property. The exterior matches that same thoughtful approach. Vinyl siding and crisp white trim give the home a clean, classic coastal look built to hold up against the elements with minimal upkeep, and a brand new HVAC system, installed in 2024, means one of the biggest ticket items is already taken care of. Underneath, the elevated design creates a covered carport with room for multiple vehicles, and a wide driveway offers even more parking. Upstairs is where everyday life happens. Luxury vinyl plank flooring runs throughout an open kitchen, dining, and living area, giving the whole level a light, easy flow from room to room. The kitchen is finished with white shaker cabinets, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances, plus a breakfast bar for casual mealsThe dining area sits beneath a statement pendant light, and just beyond, the living room offers a comfortable spot to land after a day at the beach. The primary suite is tucked along this level, offering 15'3'' x 14'9'' of space, two closets (including a walk-in), and a private ensuite bath. A second bedroom enjoys its own private ensuite bath as well, while the third bedroom sits near a hall powder room and the home's dedicated laundry room, giving everyone their own space and keeping day to day routines simple. Downstairs tells a different story. A 20'5'' x 21'6'' family room opens up serious flexibility, whether you picture a second living area, a media room, a home office, or a guest suite for visiting family or short-term rental guests. It comes complete with its own full bath, plenty of storage, and a private patio just outside the door. Out back, the fully fenced yard was made for spending time outdoors. The sellers recently added $10,000 in premium artificial turf, and a fire pit lounge area sets the stage for evenings under the stars, all within a full vinyl privacy fence. Offered partially furnished, 107A James Ave is ready for its next chapter, whether that means settling into Surf City full time or putting the home's short-term rental potential to work. This one is worth seeing in person.
