709 Ocracoke Dr Wilmington, NC 28412

Experience Carolina Beach living without the Carolina Beach price tag! Located in the historic Seabreeze area of Wilmington, this thoughtfully upgraded 4BR/3BA home is just minutes from the sand of Carolina Beach. Enjoy all the perks of coastal life--beach days, boating, and vibrant local dining--while returning to a quieter, more spacious neighborhood with less congestion, no beach or city taxes, and more room to breathe. The heart of the home features a beautifully updated kitchen with custom, extra-spacious cabinetry, modern finishes, under-cabinet lighting, and a bright, open layout that gives the space a clean coastal feel. Automatic lighted closets throughout the home turn on as you open the doors, adding everyday convenience and a touch of luxury. The open great room includes a custom shiplap accent wall, abundant natural light filtered through plantation shutters, and a built-in surround sound system with outdoor speakers for seamless indoor-outdoor entertaining. The primary suite continues the look with a shiplap accent wall and spa-style bath, creating a private retreat that feels vacation-ready year-round. Additional upstairs bedrooms and baths offer flexibility for guests, family, or a home office. Architecturally designed indoor staircase access leads to a versatile lower level that really sets this home apart: an en suite bedroom with pocket doors, walk-in closet, and adjacent sitting area--ideal for guests, multigenerational living, a teen suite, or quiet workspace. Outdoor living shines with a large screened-in patio, rear deck, stamped concrete patio, and inviting rocking-chair front porch topped by a custom metal roof. The ample corner lot offers extra yard space, more privacy, and outstanding curb appeal compared to tighter beach-area parcels. An outdoor shower with hot/cold water and climatized attached storage make it easy to manage beach gear, boards, and bikes, and recreational jet ski rental is within walking distance for spontaneous days on the water. Behind the scenes, the home is loaded with major system upgrades: 400-amp electrical service with dedicated rapid EV charging, dual HVAC systems, extra-large capacity tankless water heater, irrigation system, and newer roof. Move-in-ready and designed for modern coastal living--minutes from Carolina Beach, with the space, savings, and comfort you won't find on most beach lots.
