2257 E Swordfish Cres LOT 20, Corolla, NC 27927

Welcome to your dream home in the secluded 4WD-access community of Carova Beach, a fifth-row location where the legendary wild horses roam free. This spectacular 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home, completed in 2022, was meticulously designed for comfort, maintenance-free coastal living, and is offered fully furnished—making it absolutely turn-key for immediate enjoyment or rental income! Crucially for expansion and investment, the septic system is rated for a 4-bedroom/8-person capacity, providing easy potential for future growth. Furthermore, the ample rear lot space was thoughtfully considered for the addition of a private pool. The exterior sets the standard for durability with NuCedar PVC shakes (guaranteeing no painting or wood rot), all PVC exterior trim, copper deck flashing, Simonton double-hung windows, a whole-house surge protector, and 30-year roof shingles. Inside, you'll find quality at every turn, including elegant engineered European Oak floors throughout, 5-panel solid core doors, a whole-house water treatment system, and tasteful shiplap and board and batten accents. The heart of the home is on the third level, a spacious great room bathed in natural light, featuring cathedral ceilings and transom windows. The high-end kitchen is a chef's delight, boasting all stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, soft-close wood cabinetry, and a massive 5'6" x 5'6" center island with seating for eight. Convenience is key with a dedicated butler's pantry, a half bath, and access to two critical decks: a large east-side covered deck that is perfect for enjoying beautiful sunrises and ocean breezes, and a huge west-side screened porch ideal for grilling and watching unforgettable sunsets. The second level offers comfortable living with three bedrooms, including the luxurious master suite which is a private retreat with its own dedicated 8'x28' screened porch. The ground level provides incredible flexibility and function. The huge 30'x28' two-car garage is insulated and conditioned, currently used as a gameroom but easily converted into a workshop or full garage. This level offers interior dry access to the home, exterior access to a spacious cedar outside shower and hot tub, and sits securely in the highly desirable X flood zone. Located on a very private, low-traveled road that leads directly to the beach, this home is the ultimate move-in-ready escape, ideal as a primary residence, second home, or high-potential vacation rental.
