Property Description
Positioned on a premier oceanfront homesite along New River Inlet, this elevated coastal residence captures sweeping, unobstructed views of the Atlantic from a vantage point rarely found along Topsail Island. Set back from the road with thoughtfully designed landscaping, including mature palms and seasonal plantings, the property offers both privacy and additional parking while maintaining direct beach access. Designed for durability and ease of ownership, the exterior features low-maintenance Hardie board siding, a metal roof installed in 2022, and a full gutter system. The home is also equipped with a comprehensive hurricane shutter system, including manual, electric, solar-powered, and canvas options for added protection and peace of mind. A combination of vinyl and wood railings complements the coastal architecture, while a two-bay garage with mini-split conditioning provides flexible space for storage, a workshop, or climate-controlled beach gear. Inside, the main living level embraces its oceanfront setting with 9-foot ceilings, crown molding, and wide-plank 7'' LVP flooring throughout. The layout flows effortlessly between kitchen, dining, and living spaces, with a centrally positioned dining area for both function and connection. The kitchen is designed for gathering, anchored by a 10-foot eat-in breakfast bar with pendant lighting. Distinctive distressed countertops add character, complemented by a single-basin stainless sink with Kohler faucet, Café 5-burner flat-top range, and a pantry-style storage area with a 4-door LG refrigerator. The living area centers on the view, featuring an electric fireplace, recessed lighting, and an open layout that keeps the focus on the water. A wall of glass spans the ocean-facing side, including multiple 8-foot sliders and a central 12-foot four-panel slider, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection. Step outside to an expansive oceanfront deck exceeding 800 square feet, partially covered for shade and designed for year-round enjoyment. From morning coffee to evening gatherings, this space offers a front-row perspective of the Atlantic, complete with private beach access and an outdoor hot and cold shower. The main level also includes three additional guest rooms, offering flexibility for family, guests, or work-from-home needs. A full guest bath features a cultured marble vanity and a jetted tub/shower combination with porcelain tile surround, while a wet weather entry adds everyday practicality. Upstairs, the home transitions into a private retreat with two suite-style bedrooms, each offering a distinct coastal experience. The oceanfront primary suite features vaulted ceilings and expansive glass framing uninterrupted Atlantic views, with an 8-foot sliding door to a private ocean-facing deck. The ensuite includes a dual cultured marble vanity with Moen fixtures and a custom tiled walk-in shower with 12'' x 24'' tile and river rock inlay, complete with dual shower heads and ocean-facing views. A walk-in closet completes the space. The second upper-level suite offers a private deck overlooking the sound, marsh, and Intracoastal Waterway, along with an ensuite bath featuring a walk-in shower. Whether enjoyed as a primary residence, second home, or coastal retreat, this North Topsail Beach property delivers a rare combination of elevation, views, and thoughtfully designed living -- all set along one of the most dynamic stretches of coastline on Topsail Island.
