About this home
Welcome to the Iconic OIB Beacon House, as the current owners affectionately call it. This original Ocean Isle Beach A-frame home is a true vintage gem that showcases nautical charm and a spacious layout. The sunny living room features high ceilings and ample comfortable seating, highlighting the unique A-frame design. This three-level home offers three bedrooms and two bathrooms, with 1,401 square feet of fully renovated living space, all located less than 500 feet from the beach. You will be captivated by the open floor plan, which includes vaulted ceilings and tongue-and-groove pine walls that enhance the character of the A-frame design. Above the wood dining table hangs a reclaimed ship's lantern, suspended from a boat oar, adding a lovely ambiance. The well-equipped kitchen boasts granite countertops and a full suite of stainless steel appliances, including a roomy side-by-side refrigerator, a new electric stove, spacious cabinets, and a screened-door pantry for additional storage. The house accommodates up to 10 guests across three bedrooms. At the rear, the captain and chief mate quarters consist of two bedrooms, each featuring king-sized beds and private access to the rear porch, along with a bathroom and laundry area. On the second floor, you'll find a study alcove and a bright guest bathroom that includes a granite vanity and a tub/shower combination. The third bedroom features three uniquely designed hanging queen-sized beds. Access to the unique third-floor loft is via a ladder, where you'll find a cozy getaway complete with a 50-inch TV. The wrap-around deck and ground-level covered patio provide ample space to enjoy the ocean breezes, while a private hot tub awaits you after a fun-filled day at the beach. The wrap-around porch is the perfect spot to sip your morning coffee or unwind to the soothing sound of crashing waves. An outdoor shower and plenty of storage space further add to the convenience of this property. You can own a piece of Ocean Isle Beach history with this rare architectural gem, which features a massive shipping beacon set up as a lighthouse in the front yard. Just steps from the ocean, this unique beach house perfectly blends charm, functionality, and a prime location.
