It does not get any better than waterfront living in the favorite Island Park cottage neighborhood on the west end of Ocean Isle Beach, N.C. This jewel is perfectly situated on Jink’s Creek, overlooking the Intracoastal Waterway, with a private dock and large deck making the sight of colorful sunsets breathtaking. It has a 180 degree view of the marsh area behind the house, and, because of the orientation of the island, there is a sunset view over the marsh year round. Enter off the front porch into the tile-clad open kitchen and dining area with a living room boasting high ceilings, a gas fireplace and an abundance of windows, all with private water views. Two professionally decorated bedrooms and one and a half baths are located off of the living room area. The remaining two upstairs bedrooms also enjoy private bathrooms. The master suite size will amaze you with large closets, a desk area. and lots of light. Upgrades include a new roof (2014), new fireplace, new carpeting, new heat pumps (2018 & 2020) with Honeywell home thermostats for remote access. In 2020, new outside pavers were added and an irrigation system was installed with separate meters and remote access. A bonus is the heavy duty, lockable built-in hurricane shutters for peace of mind during storm seasons. Under the home there is plenty of space for parking, an outside shower and a double door storage room. Island Park is known and loved for having 2 swimming pools for those hot summer days. HOA also includes 2 community docks and lawn maintenance. This house is being sold furnished with exceptions. Ocean Isle Beach is located minutes from North Myrtle Beach, S.C. and an hour south of Wilmington, N.C. This find would be an unbelievable income property or a wonderful beach getaway! This home was rented only one summer, in 1996. Since then it has remained the owners’ private retreat.
