Built in 2018, fully furnished, and generating over $100,000 in rental income in 2025, this North Topsail Beach home offers a combination of features that are increasingly difficult to find in one property. Situated on an oversized lot and located within walking, biking, or golf cart distance to beach access, the home delivers the coastal lifestyle buyers are looking for while benefiting from more reasonable insurance costs than many oceanfront properties.
Designed with both personal enjoyment and rental performance in mind, the reverse floorplan provides separation between gathering spaces and sleeping quarters. Elevator access serves all levels, while the top-floor primary suite creates a private retreat complete with a coffee bar, mini fridge, two private decks, and a spa-inspired bath featuring a subway tile shower and PedraFina Bianco marble dual vanity.
The main living level is designed for bringing people together, with an open-concept layout connecting the kitchen, dining, and living areas. Stainless steel appliances, a walk-in pantry, ample cabinetry, shiplap accents, subway tile, and coastal finishes create a space that feels both inviting and functional. The lower level includes two queen suites with private baths and a bunk room with its own bath, offering flexibility for guests and larger groups.
Outside, the heated saltwater pool, first-level hot tub, expansive decks, and outdoor shower create multiple spaces to relax after a day at the beach. The oversized lot provides additional parking, storage, and separation that is becoming increasingly rare along Island Drive. Built with long-term coastal durability in mind, the home features CertainTeed 50-year architectural shingles, standing seam metal roof accents, copper deck flashing, vinyl shake siding, and Smart Vent foundation protection.
Conveniently located between Surf City and North Topsail, the property offers easy access to restaurants, boating, shopping, and beach activities. Whether you're searching for a second home, investment property, or a combination of both, this home offers the location, amenities, and proven performance that continue to drive demand along the coast.
