About this House

What's unique:Golf clubsOcean viewsHot tubDetached garageCovered deckOpen deck
Nestled in Southern North Carolina's coastal town of Oak Island, this custom piling home, built by Ken Kiser, offers views of the Atlantic Ocean and our serene marshlands. Situated on a 200' deep lot, stretching from E. Dolphin Drive to E. Pelican, forwards numerous possibilities to create your own outdoor paradise. Sellers considered adding a Carriage house above a detached garage, a pool/hot tub & possibly a cabana. These ideas or your own must be approved by town, buyer is responsible but what possibilities may exist. Interior features boast 1st floor 9-foot ceilings that accentuate the spaciousness within, wood floors throughout the living areas while bathrooms are tiled. Solid surface countertops and a center island become the focal point of the kitchen, where culinary adventures await. Just off the kitchen is a screened porch that opens onto an open-air deck which begs for you to grill fresh seafood, steaks or make ice cream like back in the olden days! The sellers are the original owners, custom-built this cottage and never rented. But the cottage is being sold fully furnished as viewed with minimal exclusions. One can abandon the stresses of furniture shopping—just bring your bathing suit and golf clubs for the ultimate ease into beachside living. The primary suite is a realm of luxury with dual walk-in closets and awe-inspiring ocean views. The suite's crowning glory—a private, south-facing, covered deck—invites you to savor sunrises and sunsets. This is not just a house, but a lifestyle upgrade where the symphony of waves is your daily soundtrack. Let's just say those things out loud....200' deep lot, ocean views from upper & lower covered decks, wonderful, screened porch off kitchen as well as open deck, flood insurance policy under $500/year, original owners, updated HVAC, termite bond and wait there is more.... A FENCED YARD. Just because this is ''coming soon'', you can always submit an offer sight-unseen. It has been done in the past.
