Charming Coastal Retreat - Tucked beneath mature oaks and pines on nearly half an acre, this meticulously maintained coastal home sits just a few blocks from the beach in Carolina Beach. It offers a rare mix of space, privacy, and an easy walk to the sand. The turret-style architecture and wraparound front porch give it instant curb appeal. Out back, the private, fenced yard is built for entertaining and centers on a sparkling saltwater pool. A versatile three-season room is the perfect spot to unwind, whether you're catching an ocean breeze or watching the sunset over the pool deck.
The third bedroom gives you the flexibility to use it as an office or flex space. Whatever fits the way you live. Pride of ownership shows throughout. This home has been carefully cared for inside and out. The oversized lot gives you room to spread out, which is a true rarity this close to the beach. Mature landscaping and a two-car garage add both function and curb appeal. Whether you're looking for a primary residence, a second home, or an investment property in one of the coast's most sought-after beach towns, this one checks every box: location, lot size, condition, and lifestyle. Don't miss your chance to own a piece of Carolina Beach living.
