COMING SOON -- Showings begin June 3rd.

This is what beach life is supposed to feel like. Walk to Bogue Sound, or pop over to the Atlantic (less than a mile away across Emerald Drive), rinse off at your own outdoor hot/cold shower, and come home to a cold drink on a screened porch with ceiling fans overhead and the game already on. 417 Holly St is a fully custom Emerald Isle home built around the way people actually enjoy the coast.

The updates mean you spend your time here living, not fixing. Fortified roof (2025), new flooring, updated kitchen with brushed granite and new appliances (2023), and a Trane HVAC that's serviced every year -- the big stuff is done. The oversized 2-car garage swallows all the beach gear, kayaks, and bikes with room to spare, and the wired outbuilding handles the overflow. When the day's over, the screened porch with brushed concrete floor and ceiling fans is where everyone ends up. Or just open the two sliding glass doors and bring the party inside.

Inside, the stone fireplace -- fueled by an owned 100-gallon buried propane tank -- makes cool-season evenings just as good as summer. The kitchen is built for real cooking and entertaining -- full pantry, laundry transfer, and a layout that keeps the host in the conversation. Three full baths including a jacuzzi tub mean no one's waiting in line after a long beach day. The master has its own laundry access door, tray ceiling, and a huge walk-in closet. In fact, every closet in this home has wood shelving and racks to keep your life organized -- because beach houses need storage as much as anything else.

Quiet neighborhood, mix of full-time residents and second-home owners, city water, owned propane, and a camera system already installed. This one is ready for your first summer. Fully furnished with all appliances and accessories with full price offer. (excluding a few items labeled) Golf cart negotiable to make this move-in ready day one. Don't wait for the sign.
