Coastal Treehouse Retreat: Perched high among the trees in a peaceful Emerald Isle setting, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home with bonus studio offers ocean breezes, some ocean views, and the relaxing sound of the surf. With a reverse floor plan, bamboo floors, fireplace with electric insert, and gas stove (propane tank owned), it blends comfort with coastal charm.
The spacious lot includes a gated path to nearby walking trails, room for boat parking, a huge outdoor shower, wired for generator hookup, storm shutters, and an irrigation system with a new pump. The Liftivator elevator, remote-controlled awning, and coded entry locks add convenience.
Recent improvements include a new roof in 2018, a heat pump in 2023, a 10'x12' studio with A/C added in 2023, water heater installed in 2019, and a new septic leach field in 2012.
An 11'6'' x 11'6'' shed offers additional storage, and the home features a whole-house water filter, well-fed irrigation system, and an active termite bond with May Exterminators.
Sellers are offering an $800 credit toward a home warranty and a full home inspection report is available upon request.
