Properties of this caliber, in this precise location, are a rare find. Offering an unparalleled blend of coastal elegance, expansive living spaces, and front-row seats to the Atlantic Ocean, this pristine 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom beach house spans an impressive 2,774 square feet of meticulously maintained living space. For almost the past six years, this residence has been cherished exclusively as a private second home. Free from the wear and tear of the traditional rental market, the pride of ownership shines through every single detail. This home is offered fully furnished and turnkey, ready for you to immediately begin creating your own lifelong beachside memories or to launch a premier luxury rental. Step inside to an open concept main level where the ocean takes center stage. A wall of windows and slider doors floods the entire living and dining area with abundant natural light, creating picturesque views of the vast blue horizon. The chef's kitchen features an island topped with durable quartz, perfect for casual morning coffee or cooking and entertaining large groups. High-end stainless steel appliances, a gourmet gas oven and cooktop, and cabinetry make meal preparation an absolute pleasure. Decorated in a soothing, neutral paint palette, the homes feels bright, airy, and inherently peaceful. The living space transitions directly out to an expansive oceanfront deck, expanding your living space into the salty coastal air. Each deck on the home features low maintenance Trex composite decking. From the decks you will take in the stunning panoramic oceanfront views. Escape to a level of privacy rarely found in coastal architecture on the third floor. The entire back half of the upstairs level is dedicated exclusively to the primary en suite with room for an extra large king bed, and two additional private seating areas. This serves as a private oasis within the home, boasting its own exclusive, elevated deck overlooking the horizon giving the ultimate vantage point for watching dolphins play at sunrise or sipping evening wine under the stars. With panoramic views, generous closet space, and a spa-like en suite bathroom, this master retreat offers a quiet haven away from guests and family. Four additional thoughtfully designed bedrooms and two bathrooms ensure that everyone has their own comfortable space to unwind after a day in the sun and sand. Step directly from your private deck down a private Trex walkway onto the soft, sandy beaches of Surf City for a seamless day by the water, and rinse away the salt and sand afterward in the convenient outdoor shower. Parking and storage are not a concern. The property features an expansive driveway with ample room for parking, complemented by an enclosed lower level underneath the home. This versatile space provides secure parking for a vehicle or golf cart, alongside additional enclosed storage perfect for keeping your surfboards, kayaks, bikes, and beach gear. Peace of mind comes built in with this property, featuring strategically placed protective sandbags integrated into the dune structure to provide a robust, added layer of shoreline protection. The ''S-Curve'' is widely recognized as one of the most desirable sections of the island, known for its wide beaches, protective dunes, and close proximity to the local boutiques, restaurants, and the iconic Surf City Pier. Whether you are seeking a pristine secondary home, a permanent relocation to the coast, or a high-yielding investment property with immense short-term rental potential, this oceanfront gem stands ready to exceed expectations. Move right in, unpack your swimsuit, and let the ocean waves welcome you home. Schedule your private tour today to experience this masterpiece in person!
