Just a few blocks from beach access, this beautifully designed Craftsman-style home blends timeless architecture with charming coastal living. Set on a wooded corner lot, it offers four spacious bedrooms, a dedicated office, two screened porches, and multiple sun-drenched decks--perfect for watching breathtaking sunrises and enjoying your morning coffee.
Inside, you'll find hardwood floors crafted from reclaimed Cape Fear River wood, each plank rich with character and history.

The ground floor presents a unique opportunity, with potential to be converted into a separate living space--ideal for a rental, guest suite, or in-law retreat--offering flexibility for both income and multigenerational living.
Outdoor living shines with inviting screened porches, an outdoor shower, and natural coastal landscaping that creates a private, serene setting. Whether entertaining around the fire pit or unwinding after a day at the beach, this home offers the perfect blend of craftsmanship, charm, and coastal comfort.
