Tucked along a natural canal with direct access to the Intracoastal Waterway, this 4-bedroom, 3-bath home on desirable Concord Street blends everyday usability with classic coastal character. A private dock makes it easy to get on the water quickly for boating, fishing, or cruising the ICW, while the location places you just moments from Ocean Isle's sought-after Concord Street beach access, town center, local park, and community museum- all within easy walking or bike distance. Designed for flexible use, the lower level offers excellent potential for rental income or guest accommodations, while the upper level serves as a comfortable owner's retreat-making this an ideal setup for offsetting ownership costs or hosting extended family. This is not a luxury new build- it's an authentic beach cottage with personality. The home is functional and ready for immediate use, while also offering room for updates over time for buyers who want to make it their own. A newer roof and HVAC system provide important recent improvements and peace of mind. Inside and out, the home reflects a relaxed, traditional coastal feel- slightly unconventional in style and full of potential and charm for the buyer who values location, water access, and a coastal lifestyle. For families looking to establish lasting summer traditions, this property delivers the rare combination of walkability, boating access, and affordability in a market where true entry-level opportunities on Ocean Isle Beach are increasingly limited. A rare opportunity to own a true coastal cottage where lifestyle, location, and long-term potential come together- ready for summers now, and memories for years to come.
