Oceanfront, fully furnished, and income-ready - this Shipwatch Villas condo is positioned to deliver from day one. Wake up to uninterrupted Atlantic views and the sound of rolling waves in this beautifully positioned oceanfront 2 bedroom, 2 full bathroom condo designed for effortless coastal living. The open-concept layout is framed by expansive windows that draw in coastal light throughout the day, creating a bright and calming living space that flows seamlessly leading to a private balcony where ocean views take center stage. From sunrise coffee to evening unwind sessions, the outdoor space becomes an extension of the home - offering a front-row seat to the shoreline just beyond the dunes. The kitchen features butcher block countertops (sealed April 2026), along with a full appliance package including a range replaced in 2025. Positioned as a first-floor unit, convenience meets functionality without sacrificing the oceanfront setting. What sets this unit apart is the level of care and key system improvements already in place. Recent updates include a water heater (2023), HVAC system (2025), and a Category 5-rated sliding glass door installed in March 2025 - an important feature for coastal durability and long-term confidence. Enjoy low-maintenance coastal living with HOA amenities and services that cover nearly everything - including beach access, a community pool, picnic area, water, sewer, trash service, master and flood insurance, roof maintenance and elevators, plus beautifully maintained grounds and common areas. Located between the quiet shoreline of North Topsail Beach and the energy of Surf City, with Wilmington within easy reach, this property offers access to dining, boating, shopping, and year-round coastal living.
