Spacious 4-Bedroom Townhome with Marsh Views
This multi-level coastal townhome offers the best of both functionality and style, just a short stroll from a public beach access point. With 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms—including a flexible main-level suite currently used as a home office—this residence is designed to accommodate a wide range of lifestyles, whether you’re looking for a full-time home or a beachside retreat with room to spread out. The office space comes equipped with built-in bookshelves that offer generous storage for books, files, or display items. Ethernet has also been installed from the office to an upstairs closet, making remote work or gaming setup seamless.
The layout includes an elevator for added convenience, providing easy access to all floors. Step inside and you'll find upgraded engineered luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout, offering durability and modern appeal, while upgraded insulation in the walls and attic enhances energy efficiency and year-round comfort.
Natural light fills the interior, especially through the marsh-facing windows, which are protected with a 3M coating for added UV protection and privacy. The living room features a gas log fireplace framed by a brand-new mantel. While the fireplace is currently not connected and has never been used, the setup is there for future use should the next owner wish to activate it. Off the living room is a screened porch that overlooks the surrounding marsh and natural landscape—a great place to unwind or entertain.
The kitchen has been outfitted with granite countertops and includes all major appliances, making it ready for everything from weeknight dinners to holiday cooking marathons. Adjacent to the kitchen and living areas is a defined dining space with ample room for a large table, while still maintaining a sense of flow throughout the open-concept main level. Plantation shutters are installed in every room except the living and dining areas, adding a clean, coastal finish that blends beautifully with the home's style.
The upstairs includes a spacious primary suite that feels more like a private retreat. This room includes a cozy sitting area and a private porch with expansive views of the water and surrounding nature. The en suite bathroom features a garden tub and separate shower, offering a relaxing end to a long day. Additional upstairs bedrooms offer flexibility for guests, and barn doors have been added to closets in key rooms for a touch of personality and practical space-saving.
Trex decking and stairs offer long-term durability and low maintenance, while tongue-and-groove ceilings on the porches add character and architectural detail. The screened porch off the main living area is a standout feature, offering panoramic views of the marsh that change beautifully with the light and tides. It’s the perfect spot for morning coffee or evening cocktails.
Outside, you'll find thoughtful amenities that make life easier and more enjoyable. A large storage closet is located on the ground level, in addition to a tucked-away storage space beneath the staircase. An outdoor shower with a dog-washing accessory provides a convenient way to rinse off after a day at the beach, whether you’re two-legged or four. A kayak holder is also included, making spontaneous adventures on the water just a bit more spontaneous. For electric vehicle owners, there's dedicated off-street parking and an EV plug for convenient at-home charging.
One of the more unique features of this townhome is the path between units—created with authentic Megalodon shark teeth and whale bone. It’s a fascinating detail that sparks curiosity and conversation while also grounding the property in the rich coastal history of the region.
Environmentally conscious upgrades include drains that are connected to an evaporative basin, designed to move water away from streets, sidewalks, and driveways and redirect it back into the marsh. This innovative feature not only helps manage runoff but also supports the surrounding ecosystem.
The current flood insurance policy is just $1,029, providing peace of mind in a coastal environment. Additional structural and system benefits include a termite bond and a water softener—two under-the-radar features that show the thought and care that went into maintaining this home.
As part of a well-managed community, residents also have access to a clubhouse and swimming pool—ideal for when you want a swim without heading to the beach, or a place to host neighborhood get-togethers and events.
Whether you’re looking for a comfortable full-time residence or a lock-and-leave beach getaway with thoughtful upgrades and modern conveniences, this townhome combines natural beauty, smart design, and practical perks in a truly compelling package. From morning strolls to the beach and coffee on the porch, to sunset kayak paddles and evening swims in the community pool, this is a home designed to elevate every part of daily life.

Surf City
Topsail Island and Surf City are located off U.S. Highway 17, between Jacksonville and Wilmington, North Carolina, in Pender and Onslow County. It is a 26-mile barrier island that has 3 cities – Topsail Beach, Surf City, and North Topsail Beach. Many years ago, pirates used Topsail Island as a hiding spot by which to attack passing merchant ships. Legend has it that the merchants caught on to the pirates’ hiding spot after seeing their top-sails sticking up over the trees. Nowadays, Topsail is a modern beach destination reachable by car via two bridges that connect to the mainland. However, some still believe that the buried treasure of Blackbeard and Stede Bonnet is still buried there. Click the link to learn more.
