Description

This two bedroom oceanfront townhome with ocean views as well as a view of the pool has been carefully updated and taken care of for your next beach chapter. 1928 New River Inlet Rd, unit 212 is a coastal escape situated in one of North Topsail Beach's most peaceful communities. If you've been craving the kind of beach property where mornings start with salty air, afternoons are spent poolside, and evenings end with ocean breezes from your balcony, this is it. Positioned just steps from the sand and only moments from the community pool, this furnished getaway offers the best kind of beach lifestyle: relaxed, low-maintenance, and wonderfully uncrowded. The community offers a more relaxed, low-density coastal atmosphere compared to many larger beach developments, while the beach itself provides a sense of calm and coastal solitude that's becoming harder to find. Inside, the current owner has thoughtfully transformed the home since 2023 with stylish upgrades and modern coastal touches throughout. Once inside, you will notice the fresh finishes, updated flooring, and attention to detail that elevate the entire space. Popcorn ceilings were removed, seams repaired and replastered, and the interior freshly repainted for a clean, modern look. Electrical outlets, switches, cover plates, door hardware, and hinges have all been replaced, giving the home a polished feel from top to bottom. The downstairs level features all new baseboards, quarter round, and updated door frames. In the secondary bedroom, carpet was removed and replaced with durable luxury vinyl plank flooring, along with the addition of new queen and bunk beds with updated mattresses creating a comfortable and functional setup for owners and guests alike. The spacious primary bedroom also received new LVT flooring, a new king bed and mattress, plus custom built-in shelving and drawers for added storage and convenience. The kitchen has been refreshed with painted cabinetry, updated hardware and hinges, a stylish backsplash, and even a built-in wine/beverage fridge tucked neatly under the cabinet. Both bathrooms have been tastefully updated with painted vanities, wainscoting accents, and upgraded flooring upstairs, creating a fun coastal vibe that feels both inviting and current. Outdoor spaces are just as important at the beach, and this owner didn't skip a beat. All pickets on the four decks have been replaced (which will be painted soon) , and underneath the unit you'll find convenient beach storage hooks and shelving for chairs, toys, and gear making cleanup after a sandy beach day quick and easy. You are not just purchasing a place at the beach, you are purchasing a comfort and move in ready place that makes coming to the beach convenient, elegant, and stress free. The property is being offered furnished with only a few furniture and decor exclusions, making this a fantastic turnkey opportunity. Even better? The HOA remains affordable while covering an impressive list of amenities and services including beach access, community pool, maintenance of common areas, grounds and roads, master insurance, pest control, roof (ask agent for details), sewer, termite bond, trash, and water. The community also maintains a no tenant pets' policy while allowing owner pets only, helping preserve the atmosphere residents appreciate. Whether you're searching for a coastal getaway, investment opportunity, or full-time beach residence, Unit 212 delivers the laid-back North Topsail lifestyle so many buyers are searching for with thoughtful updates, easy beach access, and the kind of peaceful setting that keeps people coming back year after year.
