Island living starts in one of Carolina Beach's most desirable locations, directly across from Seagrove, a premier community with underground utilities and palm tree, sidewalk-lined streets. Approximately six blocks from the beach and Ocean Grill Tiki Bar & Restaurant, this beautifully maintained, move-in-ready 3-bedroom, 2-bath beach cottage makes it easy to enjoy life on island time. With no HOA and located outside a designated flood zone, it's a great option for a second home or investment property, including short-term rental use. Ride your bike downtown to enjoy live music, Boardwalk entertainment, and an abundance of dining options. A relaxing covered front porch welcomes you through double doors into a bright, open main living area with fresh paint and abundant natural light. The spacious living and dining area flows into the kitchen, which features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a center island offering a casual spot for breakfast or extra serving space when entertaining. Two spacious bedrooms share a full bath, while the primary suite features a modern private bath with a walk-in shower. Enjoy meals outdoors on the back deck, then unwind in the private landscaped yard, complete with an outdoor shower and dedicated fire-pit area. A convenient lift makes it easy to bring groceries, luggage, or furnishings up to the rear porch. Covered parking beneath the home, space for up to four cars, and ample secure storage make it easy to keep beach gear close at hand. Priced to sell! This is the beach home you've been waiting for!
