About This Home

As of March 2018

You'll never tire of watching the waves roll in and the sun rise over the Atlantic from this spacious oceanfront penthouse on the desirable north strand of Carolina Beach. Combining the comfort of a single-family home with the ease of condo living, this top-floor residence delivers luxurious coastal living with exceptional vacation rental potential. Enter via a private secure elevator that opens directly into a vaulted living area framed by expansive ocean views. You'll be drawn to the sunroom with panoramic views from dunes to horizon—the perfect spot for watching dolphins or moonrises year-round. The open kitchen blends style and function with white cabinetry, granite counters, and large island with bar seating for 8 and a prep sink. Ideal for entertaining, it flows easily to the living room, with its cozy gas fireplace. The adjacent covered deck is where you and your guests will want to be for coffee at sunrise or cocktails at sunset. Down the hall, the private and spacious primary suite is a true retreat, with a sitting area, dual closets, and a spa-like bath featuring a soaking tub, walk-in shower, water closet, and dual vanities. A private balcony offers sound views. There's plenty of room to spread out with 3 large bedrooms providing flexibility for family, guests, or home office space. Two of the bedrooms share a bath and the third full bath is conveniently located off the main living area. Thoughtful touches include 5 dedicated parking spaces, ground-level storage for beach gear, and a gated walkway to the beach. Ideally located between the Carolina Beach Pier and the lively Boardwalk, this tranquil stretch of the island is known for wide sands, great surf, and dolphin sightings. With its spacious layout, direct beach access, and excellent rental potential, this home is equally suited as a primary residence, vacation home, or investment. Act now to be in your oceanfront retreat in time for the holidays—ready to celebrate with family and friends!
