About This Home

This place has views you won't believe!! So rare for 2nd row, and the location is prime with lots of possibilities. ''The Lighthouse'' needs some work but could be a truly unique primary or rental home, just one block from the ocean! The original one-story cottage was built in 1940, then renovated & expanded with the 3-story tower added in 2006. With a few modifications, you could live in one side & rent out the other! The original one-level cottage includes a living area, 2 rooms that could be bedrooms or office space, a full bath, laundry closet & a screened porch with access to the large back deck. The new addition more than doubles the total ft2, all with hardwood floors, including a great room & spacious kitchen/dining area on the main floor, with a back door onto the large partially covered deck with an outdoor shower & built-in hot tub. The 2nd floor includes the primary suite with its own covered deck with ocean views, 2 walk-in closets, a walk-in shower, twin vanities & a luxurious garden tub. On the 3rd floor, 2 more large bedrooms share a full bath, and one with access to the 3rd floor covered deck & a spiral staircase to the 4th-story sun deck where the ocean views are simply breathtaking! All just 1 block from public beach access & minutes from everything Kure Beach & Ft Fisher have to offer. This home is offered AS IS, needs some TLC & is priced accordingly. It has so much to offer as a primary residence, 2nd home or investment property. Come have a look & imagine the possibilities!
