Discover a very rare opportunity to own a private slice of coastal Carolina charm in Ocean Isle Beach! Situated on 1.54 acres, less than 5 minutes from the beach, surrounded by beautiful, mature live oak trees, this 3-bedroom home offers an impressive 2,900+ square feet of living space. The owners have done many renovations and updates to this home. Most of the plumbing and electrical has been updated and the renovations were permitted. The southern style front porch spans the width of the house. Step inside and discover a spacious living room with a vaulted ceiling along with a grand light fixture. Enjoy a book on the bay window bench seat and relax by a cozy fireplace. The unique layout features two kitchens, ideal for multi-generational living, entertaining, and so much more. You will notice so much detail throughout, lots of modern features mixed with the original charm and accents. the primary suite has two closets and a large bathroom with both a tub and shower. The two guest rooms share a full bath by the front door. There is a wet room with shower by the back door and laundry room. If you need storage, you will LOVE this house. In addition to the attached two car garage, there is a HUGE detached building with multiple garage doors. The detailed building could use some cosmetic work but is structurally sound. Best of all, there is no HOA and you only pay county taxes! NC DOT has plans to pave the road in the near future (Buyers should inquire with them to confirm schedule). Finding a move-in ready large house with a huge, detached building, on more than an acre this close to the beach is so rare. You owe it to yourself to come explore this opportunity. Can be sold fully furnished if a Buyer is interested (sellers will remove contents if buyer does not want contents).
