About This Home

Welcome to a rare and versatile new construction home in Carolina Beach, just a few blocks from the ocean and located in a quiet neighborhood that offers the perfect balance of coastal living and privacy. This thoughtfully designed property features two completely separate living areas, making it ideal for multi-generational living, hosting guests, or maximizing rental flexibility. The main living area offers 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and 1,819 square feet, while the ground-level apartment includes 1 bedroom, 2 bathrooms, and 955 square feet with no stairs to enter—perfect for those who prefer or require step-free access. Enjoy peace of mind knowing no flood insurance is required. Relax on the wide covered front porch, a true beach-home essential, where you can unwind, entertain, and take in the salt air after a day at the shore. With no HOA, the possibilities are endless—occupy the entire home, live in one space while renting the other, or take advantage of long-term or short-term rental opportunities. The property offers exceptional parking, featuring two large driveways and two garages, accommodating up to 10 vehicles on site, a true rarity near the beach. This newly completed home allows the whole family to come together for unforgettable beach days while still enjoying the comfort of private, independent living spaces. Homes offering two separate apartments in this location are extremely hard to find, making this an outstanding opportunity for both homeowners and investors alike.
