Property Description
Perched above the dunes with sweeping 180° views of the Atlantic, this 7-bedroom, 5.5-bathroom coastal estate is a masterclass in beachfront living. With 3,950 interior square feet and over 1,300 square feet of decks, this home captures every sunrise and sea breeze from the moment you arrive. From the lower deck's ocean-view hot tub to the private beach access steps away, every detail invites you to slow down and settle in. The reverse floor plan maximizes panoramic views, with the primary suite offering a front-row seat to the water. Multiple outdoor spaces--from sun-drenched decks to a tranquil in-ground soaking pool--blur the line between indoors and out, creating the perfect backdrop for memory-making. Sold fully furnished, this home is move-in ready and turn-key for investors or multi-generational buyers. With over $200,000 in annual short-term rental income for the past 3 years, it's both a lifestyle and a legacy asset--offering immediate returns and long-term coastal value. This isn't just a beach house--it's your own slice of serenity on North Topsail. A place where mornings begin with barefoot walks to the water's edge, and evenings end under starlit skies with the sound of waves as your soundtrack.
