Imagine starting your morning with coffee on the deck, salt air drifting through the trees, on a quiet street where the primary traffic is the occasional neighbor heading to the beach on their golf cart. That's the everyday reality at 506 Augusta Avenue. Four blocks. Half a mile. That's all that stands between your front door and sand between your toes. Hop on the golf cart and you're there in minutes - the ocean is practically your backyard. And when you're ready to explore beyond the beach, the Carolina Beach Boardwalk, Ferris wheel, local restaurants, and shops are just about a mile away. Tucked on a peaceful, non-through street, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath cottage on pilings offers the quintessential Carolina Beach experience. At 1,365 square feet, the elevated main living space catches the coastal breezes while the covered area below gives you the parking, storage, and flex space that island living demands. The finished heated and cooled bonus room provides an additional 282 square feet to use as you choose and a bathroom. The bones are solid and the recent updates give you a great starting point - freshly painted deck and breezeway, brand new back deck stairs, and durable fiber cement siding that shrugs off the coastal elements. HVAC was new June 2024 and the stove was new in October 2024. The rest is a blank canvas, waiting for your style and vision to bring it to life. A two-car garage keeps your vehicles and beach toys protected, and an unfinished bonus room -- already equipped with a sink and counter -- is just waiting to become a game room, workshop, surf shack, or whatever your coastal lifestyle calls for. Beach cottages on quiet streets this close to the water don't come along often. This one is ready for its next chapter. This home is being sold as is - the seller will make no additional repairs.
