About This Home

Price improvement (and below recent appraisal)! Open to offers!Welcome home to this beautifully designed, meticulously renovated, 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom cottage. Every detail has been carefully planned to offer comfort, convenience, and peace of mind. Located on a prime parcel of land on the north end of Carolina Beach, the home sits directly across from the intracoastal waterway and has undergone extensive upgrades without sacrificing its coastal charm. Some of the improvements include a new metal roof, central HVAC, replacement windows and doors, new kitchen with granite counters, stainless appliances, and updated plumbing and electrical. When you step through the front door you are welcomed into the open concept living space with warm wood toned LVP floors, elegant finishes, and abundant natural light. Two well-appointed bedrooms provide comfortable accommodations for residents or guests. The bathroom showcases a large, tiled shower and other custom touches. The new sliding door leads to a fully fenced backyard and includes a large maintenance free composite deck, outdoor shower, pre-wired power for a future hot tub, and a shed for beach toys. A favorite feature (that cannot be man-made) are the two beautiful, large live oak trees that cover the backyard in shade. Truly breathtaking. Just a block away is a sandy, mini beach and kayak launch on the ICW. This is an amazing location at sunset as it looks towards Snow's Cut bridge. Also quite close are the pristine shores of the Atlantic Ocean, including Freeman Park, the iconic Carolina Beach pier, and new entertainment venues at the north end.Whether you're seeking a weekend getaway, a cozy home, or an established rental investment, this ''guest favorite'' is sure to exceed expectations. Make your dreams of coastal living a reality.
