They just don't make beach houses like this anymore. Welcome to 202 S Fourth Ave, a classic 1955 Kure Beach cottage filled with the kind of character, charm and laid-back coastal energy that makes you want to slow down and stay awhile. Just three blocks from the ocean with a straight shot to public beach access, this 2-bedroom, 1-bath home puts you within walking distance of the Kure Beach Pier, Hi-Tech Arcade, Freddie's and all the local favorites that make Kure Beach so special.
Inside, original cedar wall paneling brings warmth and unmistakable vintage beach-house character to the comfortable, open living space, while newer LVP flooring adds everyday durability and easy maintenance. A covered and enclosed front porch provides the perfect spot to enjoy the coastal breeze, morning coffee or a quiet afternoon after a day on the beach.
Outside, the corner setting provides plenty of rear parking and room to make this coastal cottage your own. Whether you're searching for a Kure Beach primary residence, weekend beach getaway or investment property, 202 S Fourth Ave offers an increasingly hard-to-find opportunity: a true beach cottage just a few blocks from the Atlantic with the character of another era and the best of Kure Beach right outside your door.
Some homes are about square footage, fancy updates, and high-end finishes. This one is about sandy feet, salty air, slow mornings and making memories by the sea. Beach houses like this have a way of becoming part of the family, and after more than 70 years in Kure Beach, 202 S Fourth Ave is ready for its next chapter--and all the special moments that come with it.
