Tucked away behind the lake on a quiet street, it's a quick stroll or bike ride to the beach, boardwalk, dining, shopping and greenway. The open floorpan is tailor made for gathering family and friends with an easy flow between kitchen, dining, living room and deck. Kitchen counter space abounds, including a large peninsula for baking, crafting or casual dining. Equipped with a luxe 5-burner Italian gas/electric range, porcelain backsplash, low maintenance quartz countertops, stainless steel hood and KitchenAid fridge, microwave and dishwasher, the kitchen will please even the most demanding cook. Just off the living room, the spacious covered deck offers lake views and overlooks a fenced, irrigated backyard--and yes there is room to add a pool!

There's also two additional bedrooms and a luxurious full bath with tub. This home is filled with desirable extras: crown molding, water softener, reverse osmosis drinking water filtration and an energy efficient tankless gas water heater. The home is elevated above ground level and has impact resistant wind rated windows and a metal roof, helping to keep insurance costs in check. It's separated from the adjacent townhome by an insulated floor to ceiling firewall, ensuring both safety and privacy. There are no HOA dues and the owners of each side maintain their own insurance policies. Ground level, you'll find parking for 4 cars, an outdoor shower, large closet and a shed for beach and yard necessities. And while this home has never been rented, short or long term rentals are allowed. Carolina Beach retains small town charm while being located just outside Wilmington with its major airport, university and medical center. If you're ready to embrace an easy coastal lifestyle, this home delivers.
