470 Little Kinston Rd, Surf City, NC 28445

Nestled along the waterfront, with mature live oaks blanketing the yard, in the highly sought-after Surf City area, this rare opportunity offers endless potential in an unbeatable location. Situated on a spacious duplexable lot in the award-winning Topsail School District, this property combines the charm of coastal living with the convenience of mainland access--allowing you to avoid island traffic while remaining just minutes from Topsail Island's beaches, local restaurants, shopping, grocery stores, and the community center. Set on the sound with picturesque water views and a stunning vantage point of the iconic Surf City high-rise bridge, the home is full of character and waiting for its next chapter. Inside, portions of the home have already been taken down to the studs in the main living, dining, and kitchen areas, offering a blank canvas for renovation while preserving many original details worth saving. The beautiful old hardwood floors could be refinished to restore their timeless appeal, and the home's high ceilings add warmth, charm, and a sense of openness rarely found today. The bedroom, bathroom, and foyer remain intact, providing a glimpse into the home's original character and layout. Enjoy peaceful mornings and relaxing evenings from the screened-in back porch overlooking the water, where coastal breezes and scenic views create the perfect backdrop for everyday living. The existing ghost pier adds to the property's waterfront appeal, and a CAMA representative is scheduled to meet with the listing agent on 5/28/26 to further explore future waterfront possibilities. Whether you envision restoring the existing home with proper permitting, creating a private coastal retreat, or maximizing the potential of the oversized lot with future development opportunities--including the possibility of building a duplex--this property offers a truly unique combination of location, views, character, and investment potential. Opportunities like this in Surf City are increasingly rare.
