Key Facts
Description
Coastal Living Meets Low-Maintenance Luxury in Harbour Point Welcome to 1523 Island Marina Drive, a beautifully updated townhome that feels and looks like a single family home. Tucked inside the highly desirable Harbour Point community--one of Carolina Beach's most charming waterfront enclaves. Here, coastal living feels effortless, with a lively marina, resort-style amenities, and a layout designed for comfort, privacy, and relaxation. This island neighborhood is one of my favorites for easy on-easy off of the island with low traffic and plenty of right turns and located so close to the bridge for speedy exits! This home features an inviting, light-filled interior where soaring ceilings, refinished real hardwood flooring, and an open, airy flow create the perfect backdrop for everyday living or weekend escapes. The spacious living area opens to a covered front porch with pond views--ideal for morning coffee, evening cocktails, or simply soaking in the coastal breeze. With 3 bedrooms and 3 full baths, this home offers exceptional flexibility. A first-floor bedroom with full bath is perfect for guests or a dedicated office or second living room. Each bedroom upstairs has its own en suite bath. The kitchen features a beautiful neutral granite with generous beachy white cabinetry, a functional layout, and distant water views to enjoy while washing dishes! Tons of light, new appliances, and easy access to a grilling porch make this kitchen so desirable. Outside, your entire yard is fenced with a charming white picket fence and gate. Multiple decks create quiet escapes--rare for townhome living. All this means more opportunities to unwind and enjoy the coastal air. Just steps from your door, stroll the tree-lined sidewalks to the community's marina-front pool and clubhouse, where you can lounge with a view of the water. Harbour Point places you minutes from Carolina Beach's sandy shoreline, scenic parks, walking trails, fishing, boating, and a vibrant mix of dining and entertainment. Conveniently located near the public wildlife ramp with really nice new docks, and fishing pier. Boat slips are also available for purchase or rent in the neighborhood. Move-in ready and designed for low-maintenance living, this home delivers the best of the beach lifestyle--comfort, convenience, and coastal charm wrapped into one.
