ABOUT THIS HOME
Waterfront Home for sale in New Hanover County, NC:
Wake up to the Atlantic. Fall asleep to the same soundtrack. This 540-square-foot oceanfront condo at Shell Island Resort sits at the quiet north end of Wrightsville Beach--where Lumina Avenue ends and 3,000 feet of wide, sandy shoreline begins. Every suite here faces the water. Yours is no exception. Slide the glass door and the day starts on your private balcony: coffee in hand, dunes below, Mason's Inlet to the north, and the Atlantic stretching to the horizon. Sunrises here are not a bonus--they are the default setting. On clear mornings you can watch the light hit Figure Eight Island across the inlet while the beach is still almost empty. Inside, the compact layout works harder than it
