About This Home
This one checks all the boxes! Amazing attention to detail in this oceanfront North Topsail Beach, NC gem. This home has never been rented and is like new. With 7 bedrooms and 7.5 bathrooms, this home will make a great turn key short term rental or luxurious primary or second home. Imagine waking up every morning, grabbing a cup of coffee and breakfast and heading out to the expansive ocean front deck to watch the sunrise or look for dolphins just off shore. Then grab your bathing suit, walk down your direct beach access to take a dip in the ocean, before heading back to lounge around your own saltwater pool. You're hungry, so you head back up to the chef's kitchen to make some lunch. If an afternoon thunder storm rolls in- no problem. Head to the dedicated home theater for a movie! What a day! Topsail Island living at its best! The reverse floor plan and placement of windows and doors takes advantage of the expansive ocean views. There are multiple large decks for gatherings. This home includes direct access from the pool and beach walkway up to the main living area and secondary bedroom level decks without having to go through the house (rarity in this market-you don't have to go through the house to get to/from the pool and the beach). The kitchen includes a huge island with seating for 6-8 people, dual dishwashers, quartz countertops, glass tile backsplash, ZLINE 6 burner range, and slow close cabinetry. Each ensuite bathroom has tile flooring and tile showers/tub surrounds. Other features include: wood flooring and tile throughout; saltwater pool; dedicated home theater/media room; elevator (stops at all levels); composite decking, cable railings and PVC railings for ease of maintenance; spray foam insulation and 2''x6'' walls for energy efficiency; outdoor shower; 25KW generator; gathering area on ground level adjacent to the pool area-an often forgotten about area that is great for those hot afternoons; irrigation system; finished ground floor storage area (not currently heated and not included in heated sq ft-plumbed for mini split); abundance of floored attic space (lockable-would be great for ''owner closet'' if using as a short term rental); interior staircase lighting; hurricane rated doors and windows; hurricane shutters over exterior doors; whole house water filtration and softening systems; outdoor shower; LP gas fireplace; one bathroom includes handicap accessible shower and toilet. This home is sold mostly furnished with few exceptions (main bedroom furnishings, Polywood brand exterior furniture, and all artwork). Abundance of parking available-8 cars in driveway and under house (''in tandem'' 4 on each side) and there is additional parking available at the end of the street. Community amenities include parking area adjacent to public beach access. A community bath house has been closed in past years, HOA has plans to open it this year. Dolphin Shores appears to have an easement for access to a sound side dock that is owned by North Topsail Beach. Town is supposed to make repairs to dock and pagoda. Living room currently includes a fish aquarium which can easily remove if desired-this area is fully plumbed for a wet bar.
