From the moment you step onto the covered front porch with a unique, treehouse-like feel, you'll think, ''I want to live here.'' Tucked into the coastal community of Carolina Sands, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence offers a blend of relaxed beach living and everyday comfort. Sitting proudly on an oversized corner lot beneath a canopy of mature trees, the property feels like its own little retreat - lush, private, and quietly inviting.
Inside, the 1415 square feet unfolds into an open, flexible floor plan designed for both relaxation and entertaining. The living room features vaulted ceilings, large windows, and a gas fireplace. Sunlight spills across the living spaces, which include a spacious sunroom off the back, while large private balconies extend your living area outdoors - perfect for morning coffee, evening breezes, or simply listening to the whisper of the nearby ocean.
Downstairs, a rare bonus awaits - approximately 500 square feet of climate-controlled storage complete with a full bath. Located in an AE flood zone, this area is not considered finished living space, but it provides exceptional flexibility and function. All windows are equipped with fully functional hurricane shutters for added piece of mind.
The fenced backyard creates a quiet and private retreat, with plenty of room to relax or entertain. Off-street parking easily accommodates multiple vehicles, and a spacious shed provides additional storage for beach gear, bikes, tools, etc.
Life in Carolina Sands means more than just a home- it's a lifestyle. Enjoy private deeded beach access with a shower to easily rinse off your sandy feet or your surfboard, plus a community pool, pickleball and tennis courts, clubhouse, playground, and park. NO SHORT TERM RENTALS ALLOWED. HOME BEING SOLD ''AS-IS''
Coastal charm, thoughtful features, and space where it counts - this one feels like home the moment you arrive.
