Rare ICW-Front Townhouse with Private Elevator - Heron Cove, Oak Island, NC
Some places slow you down the moment you arrive. Oak Island is one of them.
Golf carts and cars share a 35 mph main road lined with live oaks, and the pace of life here is something most people spend their whole careers trying to earn. It's consistently ranked among the most affordable coastal communities on the entire East Coast - and for the buyer who finds Unit B2 at Heron Cove, it may also be the last home they ever need to look for.
The townhouse sits on its own private driveway off E. Yacht Drive, directly on the Intracoastal Waterway. Behind the building, boats drift past, herons stand in the shallows, and sunsets roll across the water in a way that makes you stop whatever you're doing. The Atlantic Ocean beach is 0.7 miles away on foot. The best of both worlds doesn't get more literal than this.
Built in 2020, Unit B2 spans all three floors of Heron Cove - a quiet, 6-unit townhouse community where neighbors are here for the same reasons you are. Unlike a condo, the seller owns the land the townhouse sits on. A ground-level private entrance leads into the first floor, where a personal in-unit elevator - Garaventa, installed 2020, serviced February 2025 - connects all three levels. No stairs required. No shared hallways. No one passing through your front door who doesn't belong there.
The second floor is where the home opens up. An airy family room flows into a kitchen finished in Acacia hardwood floors, granite countertops, and a tile backsplash. A full bathroom and bedroom are on this level, along with a dedicated laundry/pantry tucked neatly off the kitchen. Step through the door and onto the ICW-facing deck - wire railing keeps the view unobstructed - and you'll understand immediately why this unit is priced where it is.
The third floor holds two bedrooms and two full bathrooms, giving sleeping quarters their own level of privacy. Whether it's for guests, a home office, or simply the luxury of separation, the layout works.
On the ground level, a private outdoor shower under the second-floor overhang handles beach returns and kayak days with ease. A large key-locked storage room keeps the gear organized without touching your living space. An attached carport keeps the car covered. A Ring security system keeps watch.
ICW water views, walkable beach access, a private elevator, modern construction, and a community quiet enough to actually rest in - this is it.
