This place has views you won't believe!! So rare for 2nd row, and the location is prime with lots of possibilities. ''The Lighthouse'' needs some work but could be a truly unique primary or rental home, just one block from the ocean!
The original one-story cottage was built in 1940, then renovated & expanded with the 3-story tower added in 2006. With a few modifications, you could live in one side & rent out the other!
The original one-level cottage includes a living area, 2 rooms that could be bedrooms or office space, a full bath, laundry closet & a screened porch with access to the large back deck.
The new addition more than doubles the total ft2, all with hardwood floors, including a great room & spacious kitchen/dining area on the main floor, with a back door onto the large partially covered deck with an outdoor shower & built-in hot tub.
The 2nd floor includes the primary suite with its own covered deck with ocean views, 2 walk-in closets, a walk-in shower, twin vanities & a luxurious garden tub.
On the 3rd floor, 2 more large bedrooms share a full bath, and one with access to the 3rd floor covered deck & a spiral staircase to the 4th-story sun deck where the ocean views are simply breathtaking!
All just 1 block from public beach access & minutes from everything Kure Beach & Ft Fisher have to offer. This home is offered AS IS, needs some TLC & is priced accordingly. It has so much to offer as a primary residence, 2nd home or investment property. Come have a look & imagine the possibilities!
