143 Brunswick Avenue E

Come to Holden Beach NC for your next permanent or vacation home! Located midway between Wilmington NC and Myrtle Beach SC (and the numerous golf courses along that stretch of US Highway 17), this South-facing family beach has it all. You can watch the sun travel all day from sunrise to sunset from one of the two large front porches of this 4-bedroom, 3-bath, 2,268 heated square foot home. Another two porches are on the back. It is on the quiet, less-busy, East side of the island - only one block from the beach and 2 1/2 blocks from the bridge, boat ramp to the ICW, and concert / festival / food areas. And due to the topography, it is not located in a flood zone! Features include professional landscaping with irrigation, Hardie plank siding, an inverted floorplan (living/kitchen/pantry/bar area with cathedral ceiling and one bedroom & bath on the top floor), elevator access at ground and both interior levels, hurricane shutters, a large coastal mural, painted by local artist Bryan Varnam, covering one wall in the first-floor entry hall, ceiling fans in all bedrooms and living area, two outdoor storage rooms and an outdoor shower with dressing area, gas grill and seating off the kitchen on the top back porch, and a laundry room. Improvements include new hot water heater (2018), roof (2021), tilt sash windows (2021), window blinds (2021), both HVAC systems (2021), washer & dryer (2021), refrigerator (2022), dishwasher (2023), and microwave (2024). The motor, gear box, control system, cables, and all interlocks on the Waupaca elevator were replaced in 2020, and an overspeed braking device was installed in 2025. The entire exterior was painted in 2021 and the trim was repainted in 2025. Coastal Construction built the home for the current owner in 2002 and it has never been rented. It is being sold furnished, which includes a fully equipped kitchen with custom cabinetry, white wood and white wicker furniture, a 70-inch Smart TV, and a 55-inch TV. The primary bedroom on the first floor has a King bed and connecting full bath with a tub/shower combination. The secondary bedroom on the first floor has twin beds that can be converted to a King. The third bedroom on the first floor is set up as a den with a leather sofa. These two rooms share an adjacent full bathroom with a tub/shower combination and double sinks. The bedroom on the second floor has a Queen bed and an adjacent full bath with a shower stall. All bedding, shower curtains and towels are provided. This home has a whimsical, coastal vibe!
