Rare Opportunity in Wrightsville Beach's Coveted South End.
Don't miss this rare chance to own in one of Wrightsville Beach's most desirable neighborhoods. Nestled on a private, idyllic street at the South End, this property has unobstructed views of Banks Channel—and the potential for stunning south-facing ocean views as well.
This prime lot offers the best of both worlds: waterway serenity and close proximity to the beach—just a short walk to the ocean. Whether you're looking to renovate or build your dream beach home, the location alone makes this an exceptional investment.
The home is being sold as-is and currently features one functioning bathroom; the second has been removed. Bring your vision and make the most of this unique opportunity in a quiet, well-loved neighborhood that perfectly captures the Wrightsville Beach lifestyle.
