Description

Welcome to 1218 N New River Drive, a charming Surf City beach cottage on Topsail Island offering stunning Intracoastal Waterway views and just a short walk to the beach, local restaurants, shopping and area attractions. This 2 bedroom, 2 bath home also includes a versatile loft, easily used as a third bedroom, home office or cozy reading nook, giving you flexibility that is hard to find in a home this size. Step inside to a bright, open floor plan with cathedral ceilings and abundant natural light throughout the main living area. The living room flows seamlessly into the kitchen and dining spaces, creating an easy, comfortable layout for entertaining family and friends or simply relaxing after a day at the beach. Plantation style blinds add a polished coastal touch throughout, and the h ome is being sold mostly furnished, so many of the pieces you see are ready to stay and make your move that much easier. Tucked beneath the cathedral ceiling and reached by its own staircase, the loft is one of this home's best surprises. Use it as a third bedroom for guests, a quiet home office with a view, or simply extra space to spread out. It is the kind of feature that lets this cottage flex to fit exactly how you live, without adding on or moving up in price. Downstairs, the ground level offers three additional heated and cooled spaces, including multiple rooms and a half bath. Whether you need a workshop, a place to rinse off and store beach gear, a rec room for the kids, or simply more storage than a typical cottage provides, this level gives you room to grow into the home over time rather than outgrow it. Outside is where this property really shines. Start your morning with coffee on the back deck as it catches the sunrise, then wind down in the evening on the front deck and balcony as they face the sunset over the water. The fenced backyard includes a fire pit for easy evenings outdoors, and a convenient outdoor shower keeps sand from making its way inside after a beach day. A wide, extra long driveway offers generous parking, including a covered space underneath the house, so there is plenty of room for guests, a boat, or beach gear, with room to spare. With no HOA, you have the freedom to make this home entirely your own. The seller is also offering a $5,000 use as you choose credit, whether you'd rather put it toward closing costs, a rate buy down, updates, or simply getting settled in. Use it as a full time residence, a low maintenance second home, or a vacation rental investment near Surf City without the premiums and upkeep that come with an oceanfront property. The home has no rental history, but is projected to bring in as much as $55,000 a year! Surf City and Topsail Island are known for their laid back, small town beach charm: boutique shops, local seafood spots, and an easy, unhurried pace that is hard to find on more crowded stretches of the North Carolina coast. From this address, you are just steps from all of it, with the Intracoastal Waterway as your everyday backdrop and the ocean itself only a short walk away. Morning walks to the beach, evening drives along the island, and easy access to shopping and dining make everyday life here feel like the vacation you used to have to drive hours for. This is a home that works as hard as you need it to: a full time residence with room to host, a low maintenance second home you can lock up and leave, or an investment property in a beach town that continues to draw buyers looking for exactly this kind of laid back coastal lifestyle. Whether you are searching for a primary residence, a second home, or an investment opportunity, 1218 N New River Drive is ready to welcome you home to Surf City!
