Tucked away in the quaint neighborhood of Osprey Ridge, this charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath single-family home offers the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and relaxed coastal living. Ideally located just off Coast Guard Road as you come onto Emerald Isle, you'll enjoy easy access while avoiding much of the island traffic -- making everyday living and weekend getaways especially convenient.
Inside, the open-concept floor plan creates a bright, welcoming space ideal for both entertaining and unwinding after a day at the beach. Recent upgrades include attractive LVP flooring throughout, along with new kitchen countertops and a new kitchen sink, giving the home a fresh, updated feel. One bedroom and a full bath are located on the main living level, while two additional bedrooms are situated upstairs -- including one with an oversized walk-in closet that provides exceptional storage.
Outdoor living is just as inviting, with a lovely covered porch on the main level -- perfect for morning coffee, evening relaxation, or gathering with friends. One of the upstairs bedrooms also features access to a private deck, offering a quiet spot to enjoy the coastal breeze.
The ground level includes a garage plus two large storage rooms, ideal for beach gear, bikes, tools, or hobby space. Nestled on a wooded lot, the home offers a sense of privacy while still being just minutes from Emerald Isle's beautiful beaches, restaurants, shopping, and attractions.
A wonderful opportunity to enjoy easy island living in a small, desirable community.
