A couple of miles from the coast, tucked into a small neighborhood that feels miles away from everything yet sits in the heart of the Carolina coast, a brick home waits to be discovered. The 42-foot front porch, complete with a porch swing, invites you to sit down and listen to the birds; it’s a hint of the relaxed pace that defines this property.

Step inside, and the open floor plan draws you into a huge family room anchored by a hand-crafted stone fireplace–the kind of hearth that becomes the backdrop for holidays and quiet nights alike. The kitchen is both practical and beautiful with granite countertops, stainless-steel appliances, soft-close cabinets and updated fixtures. Brand-new LifeProof LVP flooring ties each space together, and there’s a dedicated office so work doesn’t spill into your living spaces. Three generous bedrooms and two baths give everyone room to breathe.

Along the back of the house, a heated and cooled four-seasons room connects the two-car garage and the main living area, creating a comfortable transition through all seasons. A sun-washed Carolina room overlooks the backyard, blurring the line between inside and out and making morning coffee or evening dinners feel like part of the landscape.

Outdoors, two fenced acres offer both privacy and possibility. There’s space for pets to roam and for gardening or a mini farm, with mature trees shading a small pond. A 1,000-square-foot barn with an attached pole barn, two stalls and a hayloft stands under a black-walnut tree that has watched over this land for more than a century–perfect for horses or hobbies. A patio invites afternoon barbecues, while the big driveway has space for an RV, boat or any other adventure.

And although it feels secluded, you’re only minutes from it all: about eight minutes to Ocean Isle Beach, fifteen to Sunset Beach and twenty-five to Holden Beach. The cul-de-sac location brings peace and quiet, while shops, restaurants and coastal activities are a short drive away. It’s a rare blend of seclusion and connection.
