There are homes near the ocean--and then there are homes that truly live the ocean. On one of the most coveted streets in Wrightsville Beach, this beautifully reimagined coastal retreat invites you into a lifestyle defined by ease, elegance, and the quiet rhythm of the sea. Mornings begin with soft light spilling through expansive windows, coffee in hand as you step onto the top deck to take in views of the Atlantic. By afternoon, you're barefoot and sun-kissed, just steps from the shoreline. Evenings unfold with a glass of wine, ocean breezes drifting through, and the gentle energy of a beach town that feels both vibrant and private. Spanning approximately 4,700 square feet, the home has been thoughtfully renovated to balance refined design with effortless livability. The heart of the home--a stunning chef's kitchen appointed with Thermador appliances--flows seamlessly into inviting gathering spaces designed for both intimate moments and larger-scale entertaining. A fully reimagined third floor creates a sense of retreat, while the expansive bonus suite--with five built-in full-size beds--offers a one-of-a-kind experience for hosting family and guests in comfort and style. Nearly every major component has been upgraded, offering both peace of mind and long-term value. Improvements include a new roof (2020), new windows (2023), updated baths, tankless gas water heaters, Kinetico water filtration, and a gas fireplace that adds warmth and ambiance on cooler coastal evenings. Every detail has been considered to ensure the home feels as good as it looks. Outside, the lifestyle continues. A private fenced yard with premium turf offers a low-maintenance outdoor escape, while the outdoor shower and epoxy-finished garage reflect a level of polish rarely found in beach homes. Whether rinsing off after a day on the sand or hosting friends for a relaxed coastal evening, the spaces are designed for both function and enjoyment. Positioned just moments from Wrightsville Beach's most loved shops and restaurants, the home offers a rare blend of walkability and tranquility--where you can be part of the energy of the island or retreat into your own private coastal sanctuary. For those considering investment potential, the property is already demonstrating exceptional performance. Launched as a vacation rental in January, it has secured over $127,000 in bookings for 2026, with strong momentum continuing to build--making it as compelling financially as it is lifestyle-driven. This is more than a home. It's a place where days feel longer, moments feel richer, and the ocean is always just within reach.
