1172 New River Inlet Rd, N Topsail Beach, NC 28460
About this home
Wake up to the sound of the waves and the sight of the Atlantic from this well maintained 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath beachfront retreat in Topsail Beach. Step inside and enjoy an open, airy layout designed to maximize those breathtaking ocean views - especially from the expansive covered back porch, your new favorite place for morning coffee or evening relaxation. This home has seen some major updates in 2024: all decking and railings have been upgraded to durable, low-maintenance composite materials, and three exterior doors on the third floor have been replaced; complete with built-in blinds for added privacy and convenience. The roof was also replaced and meets the requirements for the NC Fortified Home program, offering peace of mind during storm season. Upstairs and downstairs HVAC units were replaced in May 2024 to keep things cool and comfortable all year round. The primary bedroom offers direct access to the back porch, gorgeous ocean views, and an en-suite bath with a soaking tub - creating a peaceful space to relax and recharge. Additional features include an outdoor shower, carport, and a private walkway that leads through a charming arbor right onto the beach.
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.
