From the sound to the sea, 1069 New River Inlet Road captures the best of island living with a large sound-front lot, private swimming pool and deeded beach access just across the street. Built with quality, low-maintenance coastal living in mind, the home features Hardie siding, copper flashing and multiple decks, creating a setting with water in nearly every direction and the outdoor living space to take it all in. Designed with a reverse floor plan to maximize the surrounding views, the upper level brings the kitchen, dining and living areas together beneath soaring vaulted ceilings. Triple windows above the kitchen sink frame views across the sound, while the kitchen offers an abundance of storage with solid-wood cabinetry and a pantry along with a generous 7½-foot peninsula for additional prep and gathering space. Wide 6½-inch LVP flooring flows from the kitchen into the adjoining living and dining areas, where shiplap accents, exposed architectural beams and a gas fireplace add to the coastal character of the home. A dedicated dining area and breakfast nook offer room to gather, while six-foot sliding glass doors on both sides of the home extend the living space outdoors to decks overlooking the ocean, pool and sound-side landscape. A guest bedroom and shared full bath complete the upper level. Downstairs, two additional guest bedrooms, both with ocean views, share another full bath with a tub/shower combination and linen storage. The primary suite rounds out the lower level with a large walk-in closet and ensuite bath featuring a dual vanity, Jacuzzi tub and walk-in shower. Double doors open directly to a private screened porch overlooking the pool and sound, creating a quiet retreat of its own. Beyond the screened porch, the private pool becomes the centerpiece of the expansive sound-front lot, with the marsh and sound creating a remarkably open backdrop for a second-row home. Deeded beach access puts the ocean within easy reach, while covered parking, an outdoor shower, ground-level storage, wet-weather entry and gutters add to the home's functionality. Whether you're searching for a primary residence, a coastal retreat or your next investment property, 1069 New River Inlet Road offers a rare combination of water, space and amenities on Topsail Island. Start the day with a walk on the beach, spend the afternoon poolside and wind down with a sunset over the sound; here, you don't have to choose just one side of island living.
