This lovely cottage-style home is located in the desirable Kure Beach neighborhood of Tuckers Square (no HOA fees!), & out of the flood zone.

The main level boasts an open-concept floor plan w/beautiful hardwood floors, plenty of lovely windows to let the light in, & a soaring vaulted ceiling. The large living room features a gas-log fireplace w/custom mantle surround, & is connected to the spacious dining room area. The gourmet kitchen is adjacent to both, with its huge L-shaped island/breakfast bar, new Samsung black stainless appliances, pantry, custom cabinetry & breakfast room/built-in office area. Off the kitchen is a laundry room, as well as access to a lovely screened porchperfect for dining al fresco! The spacious master bedroom with walk-in closet and en-suite bath with dual-sink vanity and custom tile/glass shower are also on this main level. Upstairs are two roomy guest bedrooms that share a full bath. The ground level (with new LVT flooring) consists of a fabulous 4th bedroom/bonus room and full bath (currently being used as a family room) that has loads of potential: use as a "bunkroom" for kids, a media/rec room, or mother-in-law suite. Additional amenities include a 3-car garage, fabulous covered front porch, fiber cement siding, metal roof, outdoor shower with adjacent seating area, new carpet, fresh exterior trim paint, floored attic eave storage, and a beautifully landscaped yard with irrigation system. This would make the perfect primary or 2nd home at the beach. Start living the Coastal Carolina lifestyle today!
