Nestled on the edge of Jockey’s Ridge State Park, this home is adaptable, whether it be your new spacious primary home, or your next investment capable of renting upstairs separately from downstairs, or perhaps a mix of both to help make your mortgage more manageable. Upstairs, wrapped in windows, you’ll feel right amongst the singing birds in the branches of your large live oak tree as you enjoy the morning light. This open concept space, with high vaulted ceilings, links your dining room, kitchen, and living room together, all able to share the light that these many windows provide. Hardwood floors and luxury vinyl plank run throughout most of the home. Built originally in 2001 and remodeled with additions in 2023, much of this home feels new and updated.
The primary bedroom en suite comprises the entirety of the third floor. This deliberately oversized bedroom, bathroom, and closets provide over 400 square feet of space as a retreat up and away from the remainder of the house. On the second floor, the second full bath resides at the end of the hallway, flanked by two rooms. One is a second bedroom, and the other is a bonus room, capable of being an office, nursery, or any other number of possibilities.
On the first floor, you find the large laundry, utility and storage room that serves as a possible divider between the upstairs and downstairs units. With locking exterior doors at the top of the staircase and beginning of the downstairs unit, this could be a shared laundry space without ever having access to the other’s private spaces.
Through that door though, you’ll find a handicapped accessible two bedroom unit, with a living room, dining area, pantry, and large bathroom with a luxury walk in glass door shower. This space has served as an Airbnb and made $25,000 in one year’s time, all with fabulous reviews.
The backyard is fully fenced in, lightly shaded, and has a pergola patio with outdoor dining and seating spaces next to the grill under yet another live oak tree. An outdoor shower with its platform connecting to the laundry room backdoor allows you to rinse off from your day at the beach, or unwind while looking up at the blue sky above.
This home comes furnished, and the first floor unit is fully set up ready with all you’ll need to run a successful rental on day one.
The grandeur of Jockey’s Ridge is just steps away, ready for nightly sunset walks to the soundside. The Hollowell Street beach access is also a short easy walk, or 2 minute drive. This home is in a X flood zone so no flood insurance is required, but an X policy provides security inexpensively. There is a quiet peacefulness to the neighborhood thanks to being back away from the highway, protected by trees, and of course by Jockey’s Ridge State Park, yet you’re still central to some of the best entertainment and restaurants this island has to offer.
