This lovingly maintained home sits on a mature, private lot beneath the canopy of a majestic live oak tree. For years, it has served as both a cherished second home and one of the top-performing short-term rentals in the management company's portfolio. Whether you're seeking a high-yield investment or a charming primary residence, this property delivers. The fenced backyard provides privacy and versatility, with additional space beyond the fence ideal for extra parking, a boat, or trailer storage. The current owners have even leveraged the rear of the property for Hipcamp, creating an additional stream of income.
Inside, you'll find a flexible layout featuring a formal living room, a cozy family room, a dedicated dining area, and a versatile bonus room, perfect for a home office, creative space, or playroom. The sunroom, tucked beneath the shade of the live oak, offers a peaceful spot to begin or end your day. Located just one mile from UNCW, this home is an excellent option for faculty, staff, or students. Don't miss this rare opportunity to purchase a truly turn-key investment or personal sanctuary in a prime location.
