Set in a prime Carolina Beach location, this top-floor condo delivers an ideal floor plan with plenty of space, all on one level. Offering over 1,700 square feet, the open layout is bright and welcoming, with a natural flow that works just as well for quiet mornings as it does for hosting guests. An oversized private deck extends your living space outdoors, overlooking Carolina Beach Lake with partial ocean views, a perfect spot to unwind after a day in the sun. From here, you're just a short stroll to public beach access, the boardwalk, local dining, and shopping, while the lake's walking trail, farmers markets, outdoor movies, and seasonal events are right outside your door. Inside, the updated kitchen overlooks the main living and dining areas. The primary suite is complete with an updated bathroom and a spacious custom walk-in closet. A second generously sized bedroom, updated guest bath, and a separate laundry room add to the home's layout. One of the standout features is the private, fully enclosed two-car garage, along with two additional assigned parking spaces and secure owner storage, all rare perks for condo living. A commercial elevator provides easy access to the unit. Currently used as a short-term rental, this property has a strong, proven rental history with no restrictions on short-term leasing, making it an ideal investment, second home, or full-time residence.
