About This Home

Welcome to 326 S 3rd Ave, Units A & B, where easy coastal living meets exceptional space and flexibility in the heart of Kure Beach. Just minutes from the sand, this rare dual-unit property offers over 2,600 square feet per unit—more than 5,300 square feet combined—designed to soak up sunshine, sea breezes, and ocean views. Each unit boasts 5 spacious bedrooms and 4 full baths, a private elevator, and a thoughtfully designed reverse floor plan that places the main living areas upstairs for a bright, open, and airy feel. The upper-level living spaces flow seamlessly onto ocean-view balconies, perfect for morning coffee, sunset cocktails, and listening to the waves roll in. Outside your door, enjoy everything that makes Kure Beach unforgettable—pristine beaches, the iconic Kure Beach Pier, local arcade, casual restaurants, and a laid-back dive bar that define this charming coastal town. Nearby adventures include the Fort Fisher State Historic Site and Aquarium, Carolina Beach's iconic boardwalk and Carolina Beach State Park, or a scenic ferry ride to historic Southport or Bald Head Island. When you need city conveniences, Wilmington's shopping, dining, healthcare, and entertainment are just 30 minutes away. With unlimited investment and rental potential, the units can be rented separately or together, offering incredible flexibility. Both units have a proven short-term rental history and are being sold fully furnished, making this a true turn-key opportunity from day one. Whether you're looking for a coastal getaway, income-producing property, or both, this sun-filled Kure Beach retreat delivers space, style, and the relaxed rhythm of life by the sea—where every day feels like a vacation.
