About this home
With the Atlantic Ocean, Intracoastal Waterway, sound and marsh all within view, this extensively renovated residence occupies one of the most compelling settings in Carolina Beach. Offered fully furnished and located within the premier gated community of Oceana on the north end of the island, the property offers exceptional boating access and resort-style outdoor living surrounded by incredible scenery. Expansive water views take center stage throughout the home and continue into the backyard where a large custom saltwater pool serves as the focal point. The pool and surrounding terrace create an exceptional setting for relaxing or entertaining while overlooking the water and marsh. From the pool area a newly rebuilt Trex boardwalk leads to the renovated gazebo and private dock with dedicated slips for a boat and jet ski. Keep your boat just beyond the backyard or take advantage of the separate 30- to 35-foot slip that conveys at the community marina. With private beach access nearby, boating, poolside afternoons and days on the sand are all within easy reach. The renovation touched nearly every interior space with updated kitchens and bathrooms as well as new flooring and fresh paint. A former flex space was converted into an additional bedroom offering even more room for family and guests. Other improvements include upgraded appliances, custom stairs and railings, elevator updates and multiple HVAC replacements. Few properties offer this combination of commanding views, multiple boat slips, a private pool and convenient beach access from one exceptional setting.
