You guys, this is one of those homes you absolutely have to see in person because the photos just cannot capture how special it feels. From the lovely water views off the front porch and living room to the way this home is tucked perfectly between Oak Island and Southport, it has that coastal Carolina magic you feel the second you arrive. Perfectly positioned in the city limits of Oak Island with a Southport address, this incredible coastal home sits in one of those rare ''best of both worlds'' locations. You are just minutes from the sand, sunshine, and salty air of Oak Island, while also being a quick drive to the charm, restaurants, waterfront views, and downtown energy of Southport. Beach day? Five minutes and you are on your way. Dinner downtown? Easy. Boat launch, marina access, restaurants, golf, and coastal scenery? All right within reach. This home is not just beautiful. It is practical, flexible, and designed for real life. The first level offers a layout that is absolutely ideal for multigenerational living, extended guests, adult children, in-laws, or anyone who would love a little separation while still being under one roof. This level includes a secondary kitchen, living area, spacious bedroom suite, private bath, and its own laundry space. It gives the home a true ''home within a home'' feeling, which is such a gift in today's market. And let's talk about the garage situation, because it is fabulous. The first floor features a long tandem garage that can fit multiple vehicles, plus an additional garage bay. With high ceilings and generous space, there may be room for cars, a truck, a golf cart, beach gear, bikes, kayaks, or even boat storage depending on the size of your boat and trailer. For a coastal home this close to the water, that kind of storage is pure gold. From the first level, the elevator takes you upstairs to the main living area, and this is where the home really opens up. The main floor feels grand, bright, and airy with soaring ceilings, tall door frames, generous room sizes, and a beautifully open layout. The living room is spacious enough for almost any furniture arrangement, anchored by an electric fireplace and softened with a sophisticated coastal feel. The dining room is oversized and full of possibility. A large round table works beautifully, a long farmhouse-style table would fit comfortably, and a cozy banquette setup could turn the space into an inviting gathering spot for family, friends, holidays, and weekend guests. The dining chandelier and island pendants have intentionally been left for the buyer to select, giving you a fun opportunity to personalize the home right away. And if choosing lighting feels like one more thing on your already-full plate, options can be provided to make it easy. The kitchen is the kind of space that makes you want to host, cook, sip coffee slowly, and casually pretend you are in a coastal design magazine. Gorgeous quartz countertops provide plenty of workspace, tall cabinetry reaches all the way up, and the shimmering glass backsplash adds just the right amount of sparkle. The gas cooktop is framed by windows where you can catch views across the way, and the stainless steel hood gives the kitchen a polished, elevated look. Refrigerator (coming soon), a microwave in the island, dishwasher beside the sink, stainless single-bowl sink, and beautiful finishes all come together in a kitchen that is as functional as it is pretty. There is also room to make the dining-side wall work even harder for you. A buffet, sideboard, beverage station, wine bar, or added cabinetry could extend the kitchen's function and create the perfect spot for entertaining. Step outside from the kitchen onto the covered back porch, and you get another layer of coastal Carolina living. Watch golfers across the way, enjoy the stained wood porch details, and soak in the peaceful setting. From the living area, there are also lovely views toward Dutchman Creek, giving the home that soft water-and-sky backdrop that makes this area so special. The main-level primary suite is spacious, calm, and beautifully finished. There is room for a king bed, additional furniture, and a comfortable retreat-like layout. The walk-in closet includes built-in wood shelving, and the primary bath features a long double vanity, linen closet, separate water closet, and a gorgeous tiled walk-in shower. A frameless glass shower door is scheduled to be installed soon, adding the finishing touch to an already lovely space. The main level also includes two additional guest bedrooms and a beautiful guest bath. One bedroom overlooks the front yard, while the other has been styled as a sweet children's or grandkids' room. And here is the fun part: the furnishings throughout the home are negotiable and available for purchase. You could walk into this home and have it feel finished from day one. If the furniture layout, bed sizes, or overall style are not exactly your vibe, those details can be discussed too.
