*Best anfd FInal Offers Due Monday the 19th at 5pm* This 1972 beach house in Topsail Beach is perfect for anyone looking to put their own touch on a coastal retreat. The home offers a 3-bedroom, 2-bath layout on the main level, with a 2-bedroom, 1-bath ADU upstairs, giving you plenty of space to create a custom getaway. After Hurricane Florence in 2018, the roof was repaired, and the interior was taken down to the studs, leaving it ready for your vision. The electrical rough-in inspection passed in 2022, and there are no open permits, so you're starting with a clean slate. Contractors and builders will appreciate the opportunity to finish this home exactly how they want, without having to undo someone else's work. Plus, there's an old elevation certificate showing the home's lowest floor at 17.7 feet, giving you a good starting point. It's important to note that this is a legal non-conforming property, so if the home is damaged, it can only be rebuilt within the existing roofline, and the upstairs ADU cannot be added back. That means it's an ideal project for someone who loves the character of older homes and wants to maintain that charm while updating the interior. There was some minor deck damage from a small cyclone during Florence, but with the right engineering plan, they can likely be stabilized without needing a full replacement. The property also includes a boat dock and lift on the canal, a fantastic feature for anyone who enjoys boating or watersports. The floating dock will need a repair permit, and the lift should be inspected, but once those are taken care of, you'll have a prime spot to enjoy the water. This property is full of potential for the right buyer who's ready to roll up their sleeves and create a one-of-a-kind beach home. Whether you're a contractor, builder, or just someone looking to craft your dream coastal escape, here's your chance!
