Welcome to 218 Assembly Way in the heart of Kure Beach where coastal charm meets comfort and flexibility. The sellers also own the adjacent vacant lot at 214 Assembly Way, now offered for purchase, presenting a rare opportunity to expand, build, or create your own private coastal retreat. The lot is beautifully anchored by a stunning mature oak tree. You'll fall in love with the charm of a classic beach cottage, thoughtfully enhanced with modern amenities. A spacious primary suite addition offers a beautifully appointed bath with a soaking tub, walk-in shower, and generous walk-in closet; along with private access to the expansive deck, complete with Trex decking; perfect for quiet mornings or unwinding after a day at the beach. Inside, dual living areas offer flexibility for entertaining, relaxing, or hosting guests, while the kitchen and main living spaces flow seamlessly together creating an inviting setting for both full-time living and weekend escapes. Hardwood floors add warmth and character throughout, while the updated bathroom and guest room provide comfort and style for everyday living. A detached studio/shed adds exceptional versatility--ideal for a home office, creative studio, fitness space, guest overflow, or additional storage. Thoughtfully equipped with a sink and an RV-style kitchenette, it offers flexible functionality to suit a variety of needs. An outdoor shower provides a convenient spot to rinse off after a day at the beach. Additional improvements completed by the sellers include an enclosed crawl space with dehumidifier, updated plumbing, tankless water heater, fiber cement siding, new roof, and new windows, all providing peace of mind and long-term value. Tucked at the end of the street and backing to protected government-owned land, 218 Assembly Way delivers rare privacy just steps from the beach--less than 400 ft to access. Enjoy a convenient coastal lifestyle just blocks to Riverview Restaurant, the MOTSU Museum, and Blakeslee Air Force Recreation Area, and minutes to Kure Beach's downtown, Fort Fisher, the aquarium, and drive-on beach access and everything that makes Kure Beach so special!
