155 NE 18th Street

Welcome to the best of both worlds, a cozy take on modern coastal living where style, serenity, and location align. Built in 2020 and perfectly positioned on the peaceful mainland side of Oak Island, this beautifully appointed 3-bedroom, 2-bath retreat offers the tranquility of living near the Intracoastal Waterway while keeping the sand and Atlantic Ocean effortlessly within reach. Enjoy quieter neighborhood streets, a more protected setting, and the potential for lower insurance costs than many oceanfront options, all without sacrificing the beach lifestyle. Grab your morning coffee and take a peaceful stroll to the ICW, or when the ocean calls, head to the coveted 20th Street beach access, just a flat 15-minute walk or a quick 3-minute golf cart ride away. Inside, the open-concept design creates an atmosphere of understated coastal elegance. The living, dining, and kitchen spaces flow seamlessly together, ideal for intimate gatherings, everyday living, and entertaining. At the heart of the home, the kitchen showcases granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and an expansive island designed for effortless hosting. The owner's suite is a private sanctuary, complete with large windows that invite in natural light, a spacious walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired ensuite featuring dual vanities and a beautifully appointed walk-in shower. Two additional bedrooms provide plenty of flexibility for family and guests, a home office, or a personalized retreat, making this home equally suited for full-time living, a low-maintenance coastal getaway, remote work, or an investment property. Outdoors, the coastal experience continues. A screened-in porch provides the perfect setting for morning coffee or evening wine, while the fully fenced backyard, framed by mature live oaks, creates a private oasis with room to entertain, let the dogs roam, or securely store beach gear after a day on the sand. Additional features include a two-car garage, irrigation for low-maintenance living, and the rare advantage of no HOA. The home is also conveniently located near Veteran's Park and just minutes from boutique shopping, waterfront dining, boating, and everything that makes the Oak Island lifestyle so special. This is a property that truly delivers the best of both worlds: the serenity and privacy of mainland living with the beach, water, and island lifestyle right at your fingertips. Whether you're searching for a permanent residence, secondary coastal escape, or investment opportunity, this home offers a compelling combination of lifestyle, location, and value. Come experience the quieter side of paradise and step into the coastal life you've been waiting for.
