A showcase of refined coastal craftsmanship, this custom-built home looks as though it was lifted straight from the pages of Southern Living magazine. Situated on one of the very few double lots in the sought-after Seagrove community, this rare Carolina Beach property offers unmatched privacy with protected trees both in front of and behind the home. Offering over 3,000 square feet, this 5-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom home is filled with thoughtful updates and luxurious details throughout. Extensive crown moulding, real hardwood floors, and plantation shutters create a refined foundation, while built-ins surrounding the living room TV and a whole-house sound system elevate everyday living. A whole-house water softener with reverse osmosis under the kitchen sink and fully encapsulated crawlspace with dehumidifier add comfort and peace of mind. The layout includes a beautifully appointed guest or in-law suite complete with a kitchenette, as well as ADA-compliant features upstairs and an existing elevator shaft ready for easy conversion. Outdoor living is exceptional with both a spacious screened porch on the main level and a screened porch and balcony on the upper level—each overlooking the serene, protected landscape. The side yard is fenced in and the adjoining lot provides incredible potential for a future pool or guest house. Seagrove residents enjoy access to a community pool and clubhouse, and this home sits just a short stroll from the beach, the boardwalk's vibrant restaurants and shops, the Island Greenway, and the Carolina Beach Lake Park.
