Coastal Investment Opportunity. Bring your vision and unlock the possibilities with this 3 Bedroom, 2 Bath Single-Family home, perfectly positioned between Hampstead and Holly Ridge just off Hwy 17. In minutes, you can be at the sandy shores of Surf City Beach, enjoying local restaurants, shopping, and top-rated Surf City Elementary. Harris Teeter, The Edgecomb Community Center, and an ever-growing list of coastal amenities are all right at your fingertips. Yes–it needs work. Foundation, flooring, kitchen, baths, and windows are ready for your updates. But many big-ticket positives are already here: a sprawling 1.2 acre site, sound architectural roofing, buried electrical wiring, large covered front porch perfect for rocking chairs or a swing, solid hardwood flooring in much of the main living space to refinish in your preferred shade, solid wood Pickwick paneling that would paint beautifully, a 2014 Goodman HVAC system, and a 2021 AO Smith water well pump tank. Septic tank and well pump on site although condition unknown. This home is listed as a 2 BR/1BA property on county records. Modifications were made at some point to add heated square footage and no permitting information has been located. The county also has no record of septic permitting that was likely done in 1980. Buyer to verify septic tank capacity and functionality with private septic contractor. Whether you’re an investor looking for a promising flip or to add to your rental portfolio or a homeowner dreaming of customizing your own retreat, this property offers both the location and the structure to make it happen. With the booming growth of nearby coastal communities, this is your chance to own–and transform–a property in a very desirable location alongside the North Carolina coast.
