About this home
Built around the ease of coastal living, this North Topsail Beach home blends beach access, boating, and outdoor living into one cohesive experience. Set between the ocean and a deep water canal, this North Topsail Beach home offers a rare combination of coastal access and everyday functionality. With ocean views in the front and direct access to the Intracoastal Waterway from the back, this home is well suited for both personal use and investment potential. Nestled between two public beach accesses, both within 300 feet, the home offers easy oceanfront enjoyment just steps away. The home features 6 bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms, including four master suites, and comfortably accommodates large groups, making it perfectly suited for vacation rentals. Two separate living areas provide space for entertaining and relaxing, along with a dedicated game area featuring a pool table. The home's interior has been freshly painted, and large windows throughout bring in natural light while offering glimpses of the surrounding water. A recently installed luggage lift adds convenience for moving items between levels. Outdoor living is a standout feature, with more than 1,300 square feet of decking -- including a durable Trex upper ocean-side deck -- designed for enjoying coastal breezes and time outdoors. Spend the day by the private heated pool, enjoy a game on the outdoor ping pong table, relax in the 8-person hot tub, or head out from your private dock to kayak, fish, and explore the waterway. A huge benefit of the AE flood zone is the relatively inexpensive flood insurance, currently approximately $741 per year. The home has been used as a second home and as a vacation rental with long-term rental history. Topsail Island, known for its wide beaches, boating access, and laid-back coastal atmosphere, offers a balance of natural beauty and everyday convenience. From local restaurants and shops to endless opportunities on the water, this is a location that continues to draw visitors and homeowners back year after year.
