    What's special

    Experience the best of Emerald Isle living in this beautifully updated coastal retreat, where thoughtful renovations, inviting outdoor spaces, and a convenient location come together to create an exceptional island getaway. Offering four bedrooms and two full baths, this home lives larger than its 1,320 heated square feet thanks to its efficient layout and extensive indoor and outdoor living areas. The beautifully remodeled kitchen serves as the heart of the home, featuring stylish gray cabinetry, white leathered quartz countertops, a striking blue glass tile backsplash, a large center island with seating, pantry cabinetry with pull-out shelving, remote-controlled accent lighting, an induction range with convection oven, and a Bosch dishwasher. Multiple decks and a screened porch provide wonderful spaces to relax and enjoy refreshing ocean breezes. The upper roof deck features low-maintenance aluminum decking with stainless steel cable railings and offers a peek of the Atlantic Ocean, while the front deck provides slight sound views, creating inviting outdoor spaces throughout the day. The fully enclosed ground-level recreation area offers additional space for gathering, games, hobbies, or storing beach equipment. An adjacent laundry and utility room with a second refrigerator provides added convenience, while the enclosed outdoor shower with a private dressing area makes rinsing off after a day at the beach easy. Outside, the fenced yard, concrete driveway, and concrete walkways provide attractive, low-maintenance surroundings. Just a short stroll to public beach access and conveniently located on the Emerald Isle bike path, and close to shopping, restaurants, and local attractions, this property offers easy access to everything the Crystal Coast has to offer. Lovingly maintained and thoughtfully updated, this move-in-ready home presents an outstanding opportunity to enjoy coastal living on one of North Carolina's most desirable barrier islands.
