This lovely beach home, situated on a 0.14-acre lot, offers the best of all worlds: a terrific location just a quick walk to the beach, with gorgeous views of the marsh, but in a quiet residential neighborhood, away from the busy beach traffic. Renovated in 2017-18, this home features beautiful upgrades while retaining its beach-cottage charm. The main level boasts a renovated kitchen with breakfast bar, granite countertops, and stainless appliances. Behind the kitchen is a butler's pantry, providing additional storage and work space. A large dining room area flows into the light, bright living room. Also on the main level is a spacious guest bedroom, full bath, and laundry closet. A charming staircase with fish cutout balusters leads to the upper level, which has 4 additional bedrooms. All 5 bedrooms are quite spacious and the master bedroom has a beautiful en-suite bath with custom tile/glass shower. And just look at the fabulous marsh/ocean views from the upper level! All 3 full baths were also completely renovated, and new vinyl siding was added in 2019. The spacious backyard is large enough for a pool, and has a privacy fence with two gates for easy access. The large covered front porch and back deck (both with Trex decking) are new, and there is a dual side staircase with access to each! Off the back deck is a large cargo lift—perfect for groceries, luggage, etc. Add't amenities include fresh interior paint, smooth ceilings, a 30-yr architectural shingle roof (replaced in 2012), updated outlets and light/fan fixtures, an outdoor shower, and a large 22' x 13' storage room on the ground level, for all your beach toys! Located close to the Carolina Beach Fishing Pier, Freeman Park drive-on beach, and the Carolina Beach Boardwalk and downtown shops and restaurants! Homes that offer these features, upgrades, location, and views rarely come available. Take advantage of this unique opportunity & start living the Coastal Carolina lifestyle today!
