Why choose between your own beach retreat and an investment opportunity when you can explore both? This beautifully renovated 5-bedroom, 3-bath Oak Island home offers two distinct living areas, exceptional flexibility, and the opportunity to enjoy coastal living while potentially generating rental income.

Situated on pilings outside the designated flood zone and just a short stroll from the beach, the home features a bright, open main level with 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and a beautifully updated kitchen with new granite countertops, refreshed cabinetry, and luxury vinyl plank flooring. An expansive wrap-around porch invites you to relax and enjoy the coastal breezes.
