From the moment you arrive, the inviting wraparound front porch sets the tone--perfect for rocking chairs, morning coffee, and soaking in the ocean breeze. Inside, a bright and airy open floor plan is filled with natural light, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The spacious living area flows effortlessly into a well-appointed kitchen featuring modern appliances, ample cabinetry, and a generous pantry for added convenience. With multiple bedrooms and plenty of living space, there's room for everyone to relax and unwind. Out back, an expansive deck provides the ideal setting for entertaining, enjoying sunset skies, or simply listening to the soothing rhythm of the waves. A standout feature of this home is the large studio apartment above the garage, complete with its own private entrance. This versatile space includes a bedroom, full bathroom, spacious kitchen, and living area--perfect for guests, extended family, or rental income potential. Situated on a rare double lot, the property offers exceptional space and privacy. Additionally, an adjacent VACANT LOT is also available for purchase, presenting a unique opportunity for expansion, development, or creating a truly private coastal compound. The ADDITIONAL LOT can be converted to mixed use, opening the door to a variety of possibilities. While the home itself is well-maintained and far from a teardown, developers may recognize the potential to acquire both parcels, reconfigure the existing lots, and maximize development across three homesites. Ideally located just a short stroll from beach access, local dining, and the iconic Kure Beach Pier, you'll be at the heart of everything that makes coastal living so special. Nearby attractions include Fort Fisher, the North Carolina Aquarium, and miles of unspoiled shoreline.
