A True Coastal Rebuild -- Engineered for Performance, Designed for Living. Positioned directly on a coveted beach access along Ocean Ridge Drive, this exceptional coastal property offers something rarely found in Atlantic Beach: a fully rebuilt home designed for durability, efficiency, and effortless coastal living.

Just weeks after completion, the property was put to the ultimate test, withstanding Hurricane Florence with no damage, a powerful testament to the quality of construction. Inside and behind the walls, the upgrades continue.
