217 61st Street, Oak Island

Enjoy classic Oak Island living in this 3 bedroom, 3 bath home on NE 61st Street, ideally situated near beach access, the Intracoastal Waterway, shopping, and restaurants. An inviting wrap-around deck, recently refreshed with Deck Correct, offers plenty of space to relax or entertain and sets the tone for a true coastal cottage feel. Inside, the open living area with vaulted ceilings, 3/4'' hardwood floors, and a triple-sided fireplace creates a bright, welcoming heart of the home, with tile in the kitchen and baths for easy care. The floor plan is designed for comfort and flexibility, featuring two bedrooms with ensuite baths and double vanities, plus a third bedroom and an additional full bath for guests or family. The upstairs primary suite stands out with two walk-in closets--including a generous 13' x 9' closet with built-ins--a private deck, and a bonus room that works perfectly as an office, sitting room, or hobby space. Below, the fully enclosed ground level provides exceptional storage and utility, including a single-wide garage bay deep enough for several vehicles, a golf cart, and beach gear, along with ample room for a workshop. Downstairs is filled with potential to be finished into a separate living area, bedroom, and bathroom. An irrigation system on well water adds everyday convenience and affordability. While the kitchen and baths are largely original and ready for cosmetic updates, important big-ticket items--such as a newer fortified roof and newer HVAC systems--are already in place, giving buyers peace of mind and a great opportunity to personalize an already impressive Oak Island home.
