    Welcome to Sunset - Surf City!

    Make yourself at home in this beautiful three-story retreat overlooking the scenic Topsail Sound Intracoastal Waterway. Perfectly positioned for both relaxation and adventure, this home offers easy access to the beach—simply walk across the street and over a private boardwalk to enjoy swimming, shell collecting, or soaking up the sun. Prefer the sound side? Paddleboarding is just steps away behind the home.

    Located only two and a half miles from downtown Surf City, you'll be close to local restaurants, shops, and popular attractions like Kenneth D. Batts Family Park, Surf City Ocean Pier, Soundside Park, the Topsail Island Historical Society, Hampstead Kiwanis Park, and North Shore Golf Course.

    Spanning 3,000 square feet, this spacious home offers three levels of comfort, each with its own deck—perfect for morning coffee, birdwatching, or taking in views of boats cruising along the waterway.

    The first floor features a private sauna and a luxurious primary suite complete with an en suite bathroom, fireplace, and TV. On the second floor, you'll find three additional bedrooms, including a second primary suite with stunning waterfront views, a walk-in closet, TV, and en suite bath. A laundry room with a washer and dryer is also conveniently located on this level.

    The third floor is the heart of the home, showcasing a bright, open-concept living space. The well-appointed kitchen makes it easy to prepare meals to enjoy on the top deck while watching breathtaking sunsets. The living room offers a welcoming space to relax, unwind, and spend quality time together.

    Additional amenities include boat access, two adult bikes, and two kayaks—everything you need to fully experience coastal living.
