Wake up to the sound of the surf and unobstructed ocean views from this beautifully updated Topsail Beach home -- with convenient public beach access just across the street, your walk to the sand takes just a minute. Whether you're searching for a personal getaway or an income-producing investment, this property delivers on both fronts with a proven rental history and an extensive top-to-bottom renovation that gives buyers real peace of mind. Step inside to freshly painted interiors throughout and gorgeous new hardwood floors spanning the living room, stairs, and hallway, with the kitchen and dining room floors professionally refinished to match. A newly installed fireplace anchors the living space, while updated lighting, sconces, and ceiling fans (including bedroom fans) add both style and comfort throughout. Outdoor living is where this home truly shines on this street-to-street lot giving opportunities to add space if desired. The expansive deck has been extensively rebuilt -- new railings, new decking, new stair treads, and structural reinforcements -- creating the perfect perch to soak in ocean views day or night. The upper-level side porch is screened, and a brand-new patio adds even more space to relax. The home comes turnkey for entertaining and rental-ready, with a new grill, fire pit, outdoor seating, a ping pong table, and both picnic and interior furniture included -- ideal for guests looking for a full beach-week experience. And the quiet street out front makes for an easy and safe walk over to the beach. Major systems have been thoughtfully addressed: a new Fortified roof (2025), new hurricane-rated garage doors (2026), a new water heater, updated outdoor and kitchen plumbing valves, and recent HVAC repairs. Exterior maintenance items -- gutters, soffits, and siding repairs, plus fresh yard cleanup -- round out a property that's been meticulously cared for and requires minimal ongoing investment for an owner or investor. With established and growing rental income already in place, ocean views, easy beach access, and major systems already updated, this is a turnkey opportunity for a buyer who wants strong returns from day one -- whether that's personal enjoyment, a vacation rental, or both.
