Welcome to The Waterside Cottage, a charming former Parade of Homes model in the sought-after community of Waterway Cove at Ocean Isle Beach. This well-established neighborhood is known for its warm, friendly atmosphere where neighbors ride golf carts, gather for community events, and enjoy coastal living just minutes from Ocean Isle and Sunset Beach. This 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home blends comfort and character with shiplap accents, plantation shutters, hardwood flooring, and beautiful natural light throughout. The kitchen is a highlight with Cambria quartz countertops, GE Slate appliances, a large island, glass mullion cabinetry, and a built-in nook with lighted display shelving. It opens to the living and dining area, centered by a Mother of Pearl fireplace surround that adds a touch of coastal luxury. The first-floor primary suite offers a coffered beadboard ceiling, a spacious custom closet, and a spa-like bath featuring a clawfoot tub and walk-in shower. Upstairs are two inviting bedrooms with a shared Jack-and-Jill bath, perfect for guests, family, or work-from-home space. Outdoor living is where this property truly shines. From the screened porch, step onto a spacious stamped-concrete patio complete with arbor, trellis, outdoor fireplace, and built-in grill--ideal for morning coffee, evening gatherings, or enjoying year-round coastal breezes. The detached 2-car garage with private alley access provides space for storage, bikes, beach gear, and of course, your golf cart. Community amenities include a pool, clubhouse, fitness room, walking trails, mature landscaping, ponds, and regular social activities that make Waterway Cove feel like home.
