This absolutely gorgeous oceanfront home is a sight to behold from the inside out! In addition to breathtaking ocean views and spectacular sunrises and sunsets, the modern interior is uniquely designed with white pine shiplap walls and luxury plank flooring throughout. No matter what part of the home you are in you are greeted with a beautifully light and natural atmosphere that perfectly complements the ocean views that lie just beyond your doorstep. You are also sure to love the open concept, inverted floor plan with the main living area on the upper level, maximizing panoramic ocean views. The main living area also features a vaulted ceiling giving a very spacious feel. The modern kitchen with stainless-steel appliances features a design that makes cooking and meal prep a breeze, as well as offers lots of cabinet and countertop space, plus a breakfast bar. There is also a second living area on the first floor offering even more space for entertaining and enjoyment. Four generously sized bedrooms make getting a good night's rest or some private time quite comfortable for you and your guests. Two oceanfront covered porches give the perfect places to enjoy outdoor dining and relaxation amid the sweet lullaby of the waves as they roll onto shore. Other wonderful outdoor features are the enclosed hot and cold outdoor shower and enclosed hot tub. Located on the highly sought-after west end of Oak Island, you will be within walking distance to The Point, a local favorite beach access with spectacular sunsets over the inlet. This stunning home and surrounding area would make an ideal place to call home, but also already boasts a great rental history if you would like to explore it as a rental investment opportunity as well. Schedule an appointment to see what you've been missing and be one step closer to making your beach life dreams come true!
