Nestled on the sound front of Banks Channel in Topsail Beach, this stunning home offers deep water access and serene privacy beneath a canopy of live oaks. With private parking, two garages, and just steps away from beach access, this property is designed for both seclusion and convenience. The main living area consists of 1500 sq. ft. with an additional 963 sq. ft. downstairs for flex space, providing a total of 2463 heated sq. ft. The main living area on the second level, boasts vaulted ceilings, a cozy fireplace, and expansive windows and sliders that frame breathtaking water views. The primary suite, with a renovated bath has water views and access to deck. An additional bedroom and full bath, are also located on this floor. The home features three more rooms, including a custom nautical-themed room with built-in twin beds and storage and a flex room with walk-in closet and wet bar. A renovated full bath with a walk-in shower and rooms with water views complete the inviting layout. Outside, enjoy waterfront living at its finest with a dock, boat lift, and easy access to Topsail Sound, the Intracoastal Waterway, and the inlet. An expansive deck (partially covered), a brick patio, and fenced yard, provide the perfect setting to soak in sunsets and breezes. Please note, that the downstairs is non-conforming, and no longer meets standard build guidelines, based in the Regulatory Flood Protection Elevation.
