Excellent opportunity to own a spacious brick beach home in the heart of Carolina Beach. Situated on a rare .29 acre homesite-one of the largest on the island-this 4 bedroom, 3 full bath home offers 2,104 sq ft of coastal living with numerous updates throughout. Recent improvements include renovated bathrooms (guest 2020, family 2021, primary 2025), newer luxury vinyl plank flooring (2024-2025), and updated windows (2023). A covered front porch welcomes you into a bright living room centered around an electric fireplace with a classic brick surround. The kitchen features craftsman-style cabinetry with stacked uppers, stainless steel appliances, a newer refrigerator (2025), and a sunny breakfast nook. The primary suite includes a second electric fireplace and a well-appointed en suite bath with dual vanities, a tiled walk-in shower, and spacious walk-in closet. A secondary bedroom with en suite bath connects to a flexible living area with a sink and private porch access-ideal for a home office, playroom, guest suite, or multigenerational living. Two additional bedrooms and a generous laundry room complete the interior. Outdoor living truly sets this property apart. The expansive fenced backyard offers space to spread out, complete with a firepit overlooking the pond, an above-ground pool for warm coastal days, and a 6x8 shed for storage. The screened porch provides a shaded retreat and can open to function as a covered carport. Additional features include a newer water heater (2025), heat pump (2018), a fortified roof (2025), and the added benefit of not being located in a flood zone. Located just 4.5 blocks from Hamlet Public Beach Access, 0.6 miles to the iconic Carolina Beach Boardwalk, and even closer to numerous dining, shopping, and entertainment options. Whether you're searching for a primary residence, beach getaway, or investment opportunity, this property offers the space, updates, and location to make it happen.
