TWO DOORS FROM THE INTRACOASTAL -- ABSOLUTELY-TURNKEY OAK ISLAND BEACH LIVING Welcome to 'LITTLE BLUE', your place at the coast, where mornings begin with coffee on the front porch, afternoons are spent by the ocean, and evenings call for fresh seafood and a cold beverage. Located just two doors from the Intracoastal Waterway, this beautifully updated Oak Island beach home is being offered fully furnished and completely move-in ready. From the moment you get the keys, all that's left to do is unpack your beach bag, stock the cooler, and start enjoying island life. The home has been thoughtfully refreshed with a new roof, new gutters, a new mini-split in the upstairs room, new lighting and ceiling fans, fresh paint throughout many of the rooms, new coastal decor and wall art, and a beautiful, whitewashed shiplap ceiling in the kitchen. The result is a bright, comfortable coastal retreat that feels relaxed, welcoming, and ready to enjoy. Both the front porch and rear deck have been replaced with Trex decking and vinyl railings, providing attractive, low-maintenance outdoor spaces designed with the coastal environment in mind. Start your morning on the sun-kissed front porch in the HDPE Adirondack rocking chairs with a fresh cup of coffee before taking a leisurely stroll on Yacht Drive along the Intracoastal. Out back, the property has been designed for easy beach living. The backyard has been fenced, cleared and graded, with landscape fabric and pine straw throughout, creating a low-maintenance outdoor space. A charming new storage shed provides plenty of room for beach gear, a golf cart, and lawn tools, while additional storage underneath the home gives you even more space for everything that comes with life at the coast. Inside, the home is being sold entirely furnished with new, tasteful and comfortable furnishings, making this an exceptional turnkey opportunity. The stocked kitchen is ready for everything from morning coffee to a seafood feast after a long day in the sun. And when the ocean is calling, load up the golf cart and head to one of Oak Island's many beach access points or spend the afternoon at The Point, where the island meets the water and spectacular coastal views await. When the sun begins to set, head home, rinse off the sand in the outdoor shower, and get ready for dinner at one of Oak Island's local seafood restaurants--or make the short trip to the charming waterfront town of Southport for an evening out. This isn't simply a furnished beach house. It's an opportunity to step straight into the Oak Island lifestyle. Morning coffee by the Intracoastal. Golf-cart rides to the beach. Barefoot afternoons by the ocean. Seafood dinners and relaxed evenings at the coast. The House is Ready. The Beach is Calling. All that's missing is You!
