1608 Ocean Drive, Emerald Isle

Perched on an elevated lot, this beautiful second-row home offers outstanding ocean views. Designed with a reverse floor plan, the spacious living and dining areas showcase the beauty of the coast through the large windows over looking the ocean, creating the perfect backdrop for relaxing. With 5 bedrooms, 6.5 baths, plus a versatile flex space, there's room for everyone. An elevator makes each level easily accessible and easy to bring your cooler from the kitchen to the beach. The Trex decking adds both style and durability and creates the perfect space to enjoy your morning coffee or evening glass of wine. Outside, a private in-ground pool and generous outdoor spaces make every day feel like vacation. Trips to the beach are easy just across the street. Store your beach gear in the garage and wash off in the outdoor shower. Lovingly cared for by its original owner and a proven vacation rental, this property shines with updates: new pool pump equipment (2024), hot water heater, elevator safety upgrade, Trex decking/stairs, high-end carpet in bedrooms (2023), plus three newer HVAC units (2021 & 2022). From sunrise on the decks to poolside afternoons and cozy evenings by the ocean, this home is a true coastal escape--ready to enjoy and built to last.
