109 Nina Drive

Escape to the pristine Crystal Coast of North Carolina! Immerse yourself in the salt life of Emerald Isle! This 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom, vaulted ceiling, open-concept beach house is in an excellent location. Just six houses back from the Atlantic Ocean on an elevated lot, tucked back against a sand dune for storm protection, the house is guarded for privacy by mature live oak trees. (Live oaks are as iconic to the South as are Spanish moss and Southern hospitality.) This location actually offers both sun and shade on the same lot, in the quiet, friendly, ocean side neighborhood of Columbus Square. Imagine being there. After a fun day of sun and surf, you rinse off in the updated outdoor shower, and stash your beach toys in the finished ground level storage room. Then you kick back in your large ground level bonus/rec room or relax upstairs. The bonus/rec room and upstairs living areas, are all climate-controlled. Later, enjoy locally caught seafood at one of the many excellent area restaurants. Or cook your own fresh-caught seafood, using the newer stainless steel appliances in your beautiful well-equipped kitchen. There is a large stainless steel farmhouse sink. The convection oven is equipped with an air fryer. Beautiful cabinetry and blue pearl granite island and countertops are open to the dining area, setting the stage for many gatherings. There is a large laundry room/side entry with newer washer & dryer, pantry and closets. New ceramic floors in the kitchen, laundry room and bathrooms have recently been installed by skilled tile artisans, mimicking the ocean as it washes up on the shore. At the end of each wonderful day spent at your island get-away, brand new Berber carpet guides your weary feet up the stairs and into either of the top level bedrooms. (The main floor bedroom also has brand new Berber carpet.)Much of the natural beauty of the lot has been kept with native trees and shrubs and a concrete-free driveway. The lot could be personalized by blending in some favorite shade and/or sun loving plants. This beach house is enjoyable in every season. In cooler weather, enjoy a crackling fire in the vintage cast iron stove. The newly installed energy efficient windows will help keep out the cold of winter just as they will help keep out the heat of summer. The boat ramp is only .5 mile away. There are extensive bicycle/walking paths, hiking trails, special events to attend and cultural and historic places to visit. Island life is waiting!! Come see and experience Emerald Isle and the Crystal Coast for yourself!!
