Super cool coastal cottage--truly one of a kind--overlooking the ICWW Masonboro Island and Atlantic Ocean. With unobstructed views and deeded water access, you will enjoy launching a paddle board, kayak or jon boat right off the beach. The undeveloped gem of south Masonboro Island is just a paddle away! Fully updated and designed for enjoying outdoor living, this charming house has loads of deep, covered wraparound porches, hot tub, and even a detached man cave. The coastal vibe is evident throughout, with ship lap interior wood walls, wood ceilings and heart pine floors. The updated kitchen includes a stainless gas Wolf range and is open to the dining area and great room with the fireplace. Two bedrooms and a study are located on this floor, while the spacious master suite is up in the

One of the coolest homes and unique locations I've seen. Deeded water rights pacifying the passion to paddle or kayak around the pristine Masonboro Island are included! Surrounded by Live Oaks, this casual, open floor plan takes full advantage of the water views. 2 bedrooms and an office can be found on the main level along with the kitchen which is open to the living and dining. .. most of which is surrounded by a deep covered porch. The generously sized master bedroom and bath occupy the crow's nest. Pine floors, lap siding, exposed rafters and custom cabinetry throughout. Dinner on the porch overlooking the waterway? Yes please! P. S. There is a detached work shop : man cave in the fenced backyard!
