About this home
2026 HVAC + GREAT LOCATION + AFFORDABLE PRICE = EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY! From ocean sunrises on the back deck to harbor sunsets on the front porch, this charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath furnished beach cottage captures everything you love about island living. Ideally located just one block from the ocean and public beach access, you'll enjoy an easy bike or golf cart ride to the Carolina Beach Pier, Freeman Park, the marina, boardwalk, restaurants, and entertainment. Inside, classic beach cottage character blends seamlessly with thoughtful updates. Charming details including beadboard chair rail, a vaulted wood ceiling in the living room and kitchen, and a retro painted tin ceiling in the primary bedroom create warmth and personality. The spacious kitchen offers ample cabinet space, an island with bar seating, and opens to a large living room on one side and a cozy dining area on the other. There's even a dedicated ''work from anywhere'' nook. In 2024, the home was elevated through a FEMA grant using a resilient helical piling system encased in concrete block. Since then, the owners have made numerous improvements, including a newTRANE HVAC system installed in August 2026, luxury vinyl plank flooring, updated bathrooms, fresh interior paint, and new appliances. Out back, two detached structures offer flexibility for multiple uses. A two-story, approximately 700-square-foot building was previously used as an apartment and could be restored for additional living space, a guest suite, studio, or rental opportunity. Alternatively, the structure could be removed to make way for a new ADU, subject to town review and approval. A separate approximately 250-square-foot workshop provides storage for surfboards, fishing and boating gear, bicycles, and all your beach essentials. There's also room for a pool if one or both structures are removed. This home located in a popular area of the island for vacation rentals (projections available on request). Whether you're searching for a full-time residence, a weekend getaway, or an income-producing beach investment, this classic Carolina Beach cottage offers an unbeatable location, significant recent improvements, and outstanding versatility. Competitively priced and sold furnished, this is an outstanding opportunity to own a beach home just steps from the ocean. Schedule your showing today before it's gone!...
