Offering over 1,800 square feet, this 4-bedroom, 2-bath home delivers exceptional flexibility, value, and location just off Long Beach Road, ideally positioned between Southport and Oak Island and only minutes to area beaches. Under contract in March and Built in 2002, this home was permitted and built to the codes in place at that time. See Agent Only Remarks. A prior home inspection report is available upon request, and the seller has worked diligently to address nearly all noted items. A detailed list of completed repairs is available--please contact the listing agent for documentation. The listing agent's research indicates that certain lending institutions, such as local credit unions, may offer more flexible requirements and may not require a structural engineer report as some mortgage brokers do. Buyers are strongly encouraged to consult with their lender prior to submitting an offer. Deeded as real property by Brunswick County with VIN removed, the home is connected to public water and sewer. The layout includes three separate living areas, a spacious kitchen, four bedrooms, and a private primary suite. The right side of the home offers lock-out potential, making it well suited for multi-generational living, short-term rental use, or a combination of personal use and income opportunity. An additional bathroom would need to be added to complete the potential 'lock-out' side of the home. Structural enhancements include 8x8 pilings beneath the large family room, and the Trane HVAC unit was serviced in 2025. Outdoor features include a partially covered front porch, front deck, a fenced section of the backyard ideal for pets, and parking for up to four vehicles. A detached shed with electricity and window A/C provides excellent space for storage, a workshop, or hobby use. Additional highlights include a permanent brick foundation, crawlspace vapor barrier, private well for irrigation, and a metal roof less than six years old. The fireplace has never been used and will require gas logs and a propane tank; buyers are encouraged to conduct their own inspection.
