Opportunity knocks with this updated triplex perfectly situated just blocks from the beach, boardwalk, and Carolina Beach Elementary! Sitting on an oversized 1.5-lot parcel, this versatile home offers serious investment potential—ideal for house hacking, short- or long-term rentals, or even owner occupancy.
Unit C (ground floor) is impressively spacious, featuring 3 bedrooms plus a bonus room (currently used as a 4th bedroom), 3 full bathrooms, a sunroom, large living and dining areas, walk-in closets, laundry room, and a roomy kitchen. Upstairs, Unit B boasts 2 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, a newly renovated kitchen with updated appliances, fresh flooring, and a private laundry area.
