A Rare Opportunity in the Heart of Kure Beach! Just a few blocks from the Kure Beach Pier and ideally positioned between Carolina Beach and Fort Fisher, this property offers an increasingly rare opportunity to own your own piece of the coast--land and home included. Originally built in 1954, the existing beach cottage is just under 500 square feet and was elevated onto pilings in the mid-1990s. The wood pilings appear to be in healthy condition, while the cottage itself is in need of significant repair and renovation. For someone with the right vision, there may be an opportunity to breathe new life into this classic little beach cottage. Or, start fresh. The existing structure is approximately 18 feet wide, and the property may offer the opportunity to remove the cottage and construct a new, approximately 15-foot-wide multi-story home designed to take advantage of the lot, coastal location, and ocean views. Buyers should independently verify all building, zoning, setback, and permitting requirements. As Kure Beach continues to grow and available lots become harder to find, opportunities like this simply don't come along very often. Whether your vision is to restore a piece of beach history or explore the possibilities of new construction, this is a chance to create something oceanfront that is uniquely your own and just blocks from restaurants, the pier, and everything that makes Kure Beach special.
