This beautiful oceanfront home is truly a rare find with four out of five bedrooms offering gorgeous ocean views! Located on a larger and wider than average lot (62.5' x 200'), there is an exceptionally buildable area, (46.5' x 107.2'). Strong and high dunes are still in place, so the property is less affected by hurricanes and beach erosion. The block of East Beach Drive where this home is located is not normally prone to flooding by heavy rain. Also, there is very little traffic around this property. This home also offers direct beach access and is not adjacent to any public beach access, giving you more privacy. Renovations to the home were completed about a year and half ago, including remodeling 3 bathrooms, brand new kitchen with island and gas cooktop, plus new paint, and flooring throughout. There is a 600-gallon propane tank. The home is also fully permitted for a pool deck ready for construction (46'6'' x 21' pool deck; 12' x 21' pool; 9' x 11' tanning ledge shallow spa pool). Great opportunities for further home improvements, exterior painting, and new furnishings if so desired. Located in a quiet section of East Beach near the ''Old Yaupon'' area of Oak Island, you will love that there is little traffic, yet you are still close to plenty of shops, restaurants, and Oak Island Pier. This home would make an ideal primary residence or second home, but also has an established rental history if you prefer to use it as an investment property. The beauty and magnificent atmosphere this home and the surrounding area provide will take your breath away. Come and see for yourself and make this gorgeous home your new reality!
