    STEP INSIDE THIS STUNNINGLY RENOVATED OCEANFRONT 5 BEDROOM HOME WITH PRIVATE POOL, ELEVATOR, & STRONG RENTAL INCOME LOCATED IN THE HIGHLY DESIRABLE NORTH TOPSAIL BEACH! A COASTAL LIFESTYLE AWAITS YOU WITH BREATHTAKING VIEWS OF BOTH THE ATLANTIC OCEAN & INTRACOASTAL SOUND, ALL WHILE MAKING IT AN EXCEPTIONAL INVESTMENT POTENTIAL. This beautifully updated retreat generates approximately $75,000 in annual rental income and is packed with even greater upside, as current owners rent only during peak summer months. Completely transformed in 2020, the home features extensive interior and exterior renovations including new siding, roofing, flooring, furnishings, kitchen cabinetry, appliances, and updated bathrooms with stylish finishes throughout. Designed with a reverse floor plan to maximize water views, the top level showcases an open-concept living space with soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, expansive windows, and a cozy fireplace, all positioned to capture both ocean and sound vistas. The spacious primary suite is also located on the top floor, featuring a tiled shower, soaking tub, private deck access, and a dedicated workspace. An elevator provides convenient access to all three levels, while three separate owner lockouts-one on each floor-gives secure storage, making this property a valuable feature for both personal use and rental management. The second level includes four well-appointed guest bedrooms, with two boasting ensuite baths and direct access to a covered deck overlooking the pool. Additional sleeping spaces include a bunk room with two bunk beds and a queen bed, along with an oceanfront king suite featuring private deck access and incredible sunrise views. Outdoor living is equally impressive with multiple decks on every level, to enjoy those ocean breezes, morning coffee, or evening sunsets. Just steps from the beach, spend your days in the sand before unwinding in the private pool or entertaining guests in your own coastal oasis. The home is being sold mostly furnished with minimal exclusions, making it a true turnkey opportunity. Ample parking for up to eight vehicles between the driveway and covered spaces is a rare and valuable feature for oceanfront living. Dolphin Shores community amenities include convenient beach access parking, planned reopening of the community bathhouse, and access rights to a sound-side dock recently upgraded. Truly a rare opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind oceanfront sanctuary overflowing with luxury, convenience, and exceptional income potential. Welcome home!
