Tucked among the trees on beautiful Oak Island, this meticulously maintained home offers 2500 square feet of versatile living space just steps from the Intracoastal Waterway and 0.4 miles to the closest beach access, local restaurants, public parks and boat launch, and a mile from Middleton Park for free summer concerts and year round festivals--and has been lovingly used as a primary residence for over a decade. Enjoy the best of both worlds with close proximity to the beach, local shops, restaurants, and all the liveliness Oak Island has to offer--while still being tucked away in a peaceful, private wooded setting. Designed for flexibility and coastal living, this 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home features two full kitchens (on primary floor and ground level separate living at 1094 sq ft suite)--perfect for multi-generational living, guests, or income-producing potential. The primary living area showcases stunning white oak hardwood floors, adding warmth, durability, and timeless character throughout the main space. Step outside to your own private retreat featuring an inground saltwater fiberglass pool--ideal for relaxing after a day on the water or entertaining under the coastal sky. Exterior porches finished with durable Trex flooring provide low-maintenance spaces to unwind (after enjoying the outdoor pool and shower), and enjoy the serene surroundings, a lawn irrigation system is in place and connected to a private well. Additional highlights include a one-car garage and a new warranted certified fortified roof, offering both peace of mind. A rare opportunity to own a spacious, well-appointed property in a prime location near the ICW--combining privacy, versatility, and effortless coastal living.
