Here's the beach cottage you've been waiting for! Sitting on Carolina Blvd on the sound side of Topsail Beach, this home has weathered the storms since it was first built in 1956! The ground level is built on a 5 foot thick slab that was poured by the military during Operation Bumblebee, and the top level is about 1053 HSF and was added in 1975. As you enter the 1298 HSF lower level you'll notice the beautiful epoxy finished concrete floors and the open, airy, combined kitchen and dining area. The master bedroom is on the left and has a great water view out of the windows! Pass thru toward the middle and there's a second bedroom and full bath complete with a walk in tile shower. The stacked washer and dryer are in a larger closet, and two beds have been added in this room. The living room is in the back of the house, where the back door leads you to the fenced back yard. The top level has an amazing covered deck with a stunning sunset and water views while you enjoy your favorite beverage. Upstairs you'll find beautiful hardwood floors, an open living area, efficient kitchen, large master bedroom, spacious bath with walk in shower, a dining area, & built ins to display your favorite beach treasures. The back deck is perfect for soaking up rays, and you can even hear the waves of the ocean while you sunbathe! There's an outdoor shower to rinse off the sand and salt from all the fun you'll have experiencing the coastal NC lifestyle! This place may be a perfect rental investment property with its two levels, or you could even live in one level and rent out the other for supplemental income. This home has the beach cottage charm we all love, with the modern updates you'd expect already done. Since the sellers bought it, they've replaced the roof, water heater, appliances, cabinets, and more. Thoughtful attention to detail while improving the home is evident when you see it.
