What's special

Perfectly positioned in the heart of Surf City, this 3-bedroom, 3-bath townhome offers 1,748 square feet of thoughtfully designed coastal living, shaped by water views, inviting outdoor spaces, and a location that captures the best of island life. Just a short walk from the beach and surrounded by many of Surf City's favorite restaurants, shops, and attractions, the property also includes a separate sound-front parcel--an increasingly unique opportunity in the heart of the island. Designed with a reverse floor plan, the home's upper level brings the kitchen, dining, and living spaces together beneath vaulted ceilings, creating an open and airy setting for everyday living and entertaining. Rich wood flooring brings warmth and character to the main living spaces, while abundant windows fill the home with natural light and glimpses of the surrounding coastal landscape. At the center of it all, the kitchen features granite countertops, a nine-foot eat-in bar, stainless steel appliances, and pantry storage, providing plenty of room for everything from casual mornings to evenings spent entertaining family and friends. The adjoining dining area flows naturally into the spacious living room, where vaulted ceilings and walls of windows reinforce the home's bright, relaxed coastal atmosphere. Beyond the living room, glass doors open to a covered deck where surrounding water views and the Surf City skyline become the backdrop for morning coffee, afternoon conversations, and evenings spent outside. A guest bedroom with ocean views and an adjacent full bath completes the upper level. The first floor shifts the focus from gathering to retreat, with two private bedroom suites thoughtfully separated from the home's main living spaces. The spacious primary suite stands out with rich wood floors and glass doors opening onto a private covered deck overlooking the marsh and surrounding water. Dual closets provide generous storage, while the adjoining en suite features a double vanity and walk-in shower. A second guest suite offers its own private bath, creating a comfortable space for family and visitors, with a conveniently located laundry closet nearby. At ground level, a tiled wet-weather entry provides a practical arrival point from the beach, carport, and backyard, with beadboard detailing adding a touch of coastal character. Outside, the fenced backyard creates a surprisingly private patch of green beneath the coastal canopy, while an enclosed hot-and-cold shower is waiting after sandy days at the beach. Perhaps most compelling is the lifestyle this location makes possible. From mornings on the beach to evenings overlooking the water, 421 A N New River Drive places both within easy reach. Walk to the sand, restaurants, shops, and entertainment that define Surf City, then return home to covered decks, marsh and water views, and your own outdoor spaces to unwind. Combined with the sound-front parcel conveying with the property and a floor plan equally suited for a primary residence, second home, or coastal retreat, this is a rare opportunity to experience Surf City from both sides of the island.
