About This Home
As of February 2025The exceptional home at 1602 N. New River Drive, affectionately known as ''New Moon Wishes,'' has been a cherished sanctuary for its owners, who took great pride in selecting this breathtaking location. Drawn to the unbeatable beach access and the sweeping, unobstructed ocean views, they were immediately captivated by the small-town charm and slower pace--a welcome escape from the hustle and bustle of metropolitan life. Over time, this home became more than just a residence; it became a heartfelt retreat, never rented and lovingly filled with memories of family gatherings and laughter. The well-appointed kitchen turned holidays into cherished occasions, while the ever-changing views from every window painted a picture of serenity. Although the sellers look forward to new horizons, they will deeply miss the peace, beauty, and profound connection this home has brought into their lives.This impeccably curated home is being offered fully furnished, with only a few exceptions, and spans an impressive 2,655 square feet, accompanied by 624 square feet of garage and storage space, and an additional 1,491 square feet of outdoor deck space, perfect for taking in breathtaking ocean and marsh views. Rising to 48 feet, the tallest height permitted in Pender County, this home boasts unrivaled ocean vistas from every oceanside deck. Though it has never been rented, a fact reflected in its immaculate condition, the home comfortably accommodates 10 adults and holds strong rental income potential, with projected annual earnings of over $70,000.As you approach, you'll be greeted by a beautifully maintained home featuring Hardie Plank siding in a striking color palette, surrounded by low-maintenance landscaping. The expansive deck space is enhanced with latticework for added privacy and offers ample opportunities for gardening. Exterior stairs lead to the second floor, while the street entrance off Neptune Street opens to a covered porch, providing a sheltered entry to a storage
