Here's a rare opportunity to own one of the few homes on the hidden gem of Carolina Beach! Drill Shell Lane is a quiet, one-block street near Snow's Cut bridge & Carolina Beach State Park, an easy golf cart ride from everything Pleasure Island has to offer - this home even includes the golf cart! The first thing you'll notice are the majestic live oaks in the front yard, surrounded by mature azaleas that will take your breath away come spring. The rocking-chair front porch includes a swing & a side entrance to the kitchen, so convenient from the driveway. Step through the front door onto the newly refinished American Cherry hardwood floors that continue throughout the entire first floor. The living area includes a cozy fireplace & a picture-window style breakfast bar looking into the kitchen, adjacent to the open dining space. The kitchen features granite countertops, newer appliances, custom tile accents & those amazing wood floors. The first-floor master suite includes a full-length palladium window with vaulted ceiling in the bedroom, a walk-in closet, double vanity & beautifully tiled walk-in shower. The downstairs also has a large laundry room with soaking sink (or doggie bath), a half bath off the dining area, & an all-season sunroom that converts to a screen porch in the summer. Upstairs, find a welcoming landing area that opens into 2 bedrooms, a full bathroom with shower tub, & the large finished room over the garage with easy access to eaves storage areas. Outdoors, the fully fenced back yard is a private oasis with a covered carport that includes a hot tub with decking for easy entry, & a rock-lined fishpond with its own waterfall. Mature trees & landscaping include spectacular camellias that bloom all winter long! The 12x20 storage shed is corrugated metal with wood veneer, wired & ready to house a workshop or playhouse, gardening tools, bikes & beach toys. This home is ready & waiting but won't have to wait long - schedule your showing today!
