From the moment you step onto the covered front porch with a unique, treehouse-like feel, you'll think, ''I want to live here.'' Tucked into the coastal community of Carolina Sands, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence offers a blend of relaxed beach living and everyday comfort. Sitting proudly on an oversized corner lot beneath a canopy of mature trees, the property feels like its own little retreat - lush, private, and quietly inviting. Inside, the 1420 square feet unfolds into an open, flexible floor plan designed for both relaxation and entertaining. The living room features vaulted ceilings, large windows, and a gas fireplace. Sunlight spills across the living spaces, which include a spacious sunroom off the back, while large private balconies extend your living area outdoors - perfect for morning coffee, evening breezes, or simply listening to the whisper of the nearby ocean. Downstairs, a rare bonus awaits - approximately 500 square feet of climate-controlled storage complete with a full bath. Located in an AE flood zone, this area is not considered finished living space, but it provides exceptional flexibility and function. The fenced backyard creates a quiet and private retreat, with plenty of room to relax or entertain. Off-street parking easily accommodates multiple vehicles, and a spacious shed provides additional storage for beach gear, bikes, tools, etc. Life in Carolina Sands means more than just a home- it's a lifestyle. Enjoy private deeded beach access with a shower to easily rinse off your sandy feet or your surfboard, plus a community pool, pickleball and tennis courts, clubhouse, playground, and park. Coastal charm, thoughtful features, and space where it counts - this one feels like home the moment you arrive.
