A Rare Ocean Isle Beach Waterfront Opportunity
$1,150,000 | Deep-Water Canal | Dock | Boat Lift | 2025 Seawall | Sold Furnished
This six-bedroom, two-bath home on Ocean Isle Beach, currently used as a four-bedroom, is an opportunity to own a substantially renovated deep-water canal home at the mouth of the ICW at a compelling price.
The waterfront location is exceptional. The home has a new fiber corrugated seawall installed in 2025, private pier, dock and boat lift, with easy access to the ICW.
The open interior is bright and refined, with granite countertops, stainless-steel appliances, generous cabinetry, and a walk-in shower, while the vaulted ceiling creates an exceptional sense of volume and light. A dedicated office provides a quiet, functional space for working remotely, managing household affairs, or simply having a private room beyond the main living areas. The added laundry room further enhances the home's practicality, making the home equally well suited to full-time living or to maintaining as a private home away from home--a place to retreat, recharge, and return to whenever the coast calls.
Outside, the waterfront becomes an extension of the home, with a distinctive tiki bar creating a natural gathering place for entertaining, relaxing and enjoying long coastal days. Step from the tiki bar through the new landscaped yard to the private pier and dock, where the boat lift and deep-water canal access beckons you to get out to the open waters. And all with the beach within walking distance.
There are extensive improvements throughout the property, including new fiber-cement siding, a new front door and rear sliding door, several replacement windows, a rebuilt rear deck and railing, and a relocated rear stairwell and a wonderful tiki-bar. Also a 2025 fiber-corrugated seawall, private pier, dock and boat lift creates a rare combination of beach living and boating convenience.
Whether envisioned as a full-time coastal home, a seasonal escape, or a personal retreat between travels, it offers something increasingly difficult to find: a property that feels like a destination while still functioning beautifully as home.
For those new to our area - Ocean Isle Beach is a special place, loved by the families that have made it their home or home away from home. A beautiful beach and a loved town with great infrastructure and amenities- executive airport, marina, youth park, bandshell, ocean front community center, pier, boat launch, island dining, county park with tennis courts... - just a wonderful place. A great island, neighborhood, and a great home at a great price!
Enjoy the 3D tour. And please call with interest or for more information.
