Set on an expansive 1.34-acre soundfront lot, enjoy a daily spectacle of passing boats and the iconic Surf City bridge illuminating the horizon. Inside, the spacious kitchen features stainless steel appliances and a custom wood floor that opens to the main living area, where vaulted ceilings and large windows frame the water beyond. Step outside to enjoy your morning coffee or evening breeze on the screened porch while watching life unfold on the ICW. The main living level includes a bedroom and full bath. Upstairs, an octagonal window offers a charming peek at the bridge, leading to the primary bedroom, an additional bedroom, and another full bath. The ground level adds flexible space with a studio-style area featuring a third bathroom (unpermitted), kitchenette, sleeping area, ample storage, and a mini garage perfect for a golf cart or beach gear.
