About this home
ADORABLE AND AFFORDABLE BEACH COTTAGE! 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 new TRANE HVAC installed in August 2026, new Pella windows in sunroom and laundry, luxury vinyl plank flooring, updated bathrooms, fresh interior paint, and new appliances. There are two additional structures out back that could be rehabbed or torn down to make room for a pool or new ADU, subject to town review and approval. 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!...
