Offering the ultimate coastal lifestyle on Ocean Isle Beach, this five-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath canal-front residence features desirable western exposure, setting the stage for spectacular evening sunsets over the water. Ideally situated on Monroe Street, the property provides direct water access out to the Intracoastal Waterway. Perfectly positioned for seamless island living, this location puts you steps away from the beach access ramp, community center, town splash pad, park, and the vibrant center of town. Inside, rich hardwood floors and custom trim details create a warm, inviting contrast against clean neutral tones. The functional kitchen features granite counter surfaces, stainless steel appliances, and custom pull-out cabinetry with specialized storage. The expansive living and dining area serves as a central gathering point. Afternoon sunlight fills the open-concept living space, drawing you out to the deep rear deck overlooking western canal views. Out back, the deck steps down toward a private dock, providing immediate water access for boating and aquatic recreation. The floor plan includes five spacious bedrooms, highlighted by a main-level primary bedroom for everyday ease. An oversized garage provides generous storage space for watercraft, bikes, and beach gear.
