Cross your own private bridge and discover a waterfront retreat unlike anything else on the island. Surrounded by an impressive stretch of shoreline and positioned along a tranquil inlet, this one-of-a-kind property offers breathtaking, unobstructed views stretching toward the Intracoastal Waterway and iconic Surf City Bridge. Enjoy an extraordinary sense of privacy while remaining just minutes from the beach, local dining, shopping, and everything Surf City has to offer. Designed around the beauty of its waterfront setting, the elevated residence welcomes you to the main living level, where expansive windows and a spacious wraparound porch frame panoramic views and fill the home with natural light. The home's tall windows were replaced in 2008, further enhancing the surrounding coastal scenery. Thoughtfully custom designed and built with exceptional attention to detail, this one-owner home has never been rented and reflects years of meticulous care. Exterior features include durable fiber cement siding, EPDM reported to have been installed behind the siding for added moisture protection, and a custom roof-water management system that channels captured rainwater beneath the elevated home. The roof was replaced in 2021. The home was originally designed with the potential to accommodate an additional level, although the original owner never needed or elected to add it. Seller reports that the reinforced construction includes four 3/8-inch rebar rods drilled through each piling, with two positioned inside and two outside. Any future expansion is subject to buyer verification, engineering review, permitting, and applicable regulations. An upland and wetland determination has been completed, with the residence situated on the designated upland portion of the property. The property also includes deeded water-bottom rights. The owners currently maintain flood insurance, and an existing elevation certificate is available. Buyers should independently verify the property's water rights, flood-insurance coverage, costs, elevation information, and transferability. The private bridge, constructed in 1989, creates an unforgettable arrival and makes the property feel like a destination of its own. Complementing the residence is a detached open-air structure offering exceptional flexibility. Envision a waterfront tiki bar, covered entertaining pavilion, workshop, hobby space, or additional storage tailored to your needs. Whether hosting friends, enjoying a quiet morning overlooking the water, or watching the coastal landscape change with the tides, this property offers a lifestyle as remarkable as its setting. With unmatched privacy, unforgettable views, thoughtful construction, abundant shoreline, and exciting future potential, this is a rare opportunity to own one of Surf City's most distinctive waterfront properties.
