This home and property are exactly why Oak Island has become one of the most exclusive and coveted barrier reef islands to live on the North Carolina coast. Your new island home rests privately on the backside of just under a half-acre stretching all the way to the salty marshland of the Davis Creek accessed by a wooden walkway where you can drop a crab pot in or head off on your paddleboard from your own private day dock. But it gets better because you have your own private swimming pool to enjoy the day while barbecuing under the gorgeous wild oak tree that provides shade when you need it while epitomizing the island's namesake. Five comfortable bedrooms including one at the very top loft accessed by spiral staircase which can be used as another family room or even a game room as well. The kitchen provides plenty of space for all the chefs in your family to operate freely with plenty of drawers and cabinetry to accommodate all the tools of their trade. Modern luxury flooring throughout and carpeting in the bedrooms for maximum feet comfort. Dine outside on your screened-in back porch, take a swim in your private swimming pool to escape the hot summer sun, or just relax and tan yourself on the large partially covered front deck offering wonderful views of the ocean and immediate area. But most of all, make the easy walk to the beach access located just one and half blocks away until your feet hit that long-awaited white sand and the reason you always come back. Your new home is aptly named After Dune Delight because there is no better way to return from a long day at the beach than to a quiet, off the beaten path beach home with private swimming pool, outside shower, day dock on the marsh, loads of parking and plenty of storage space underneath, and of course your own mature and time-tested Oak Island oak tree! Yes, this home is turnkey, and it comes fully furnished, but let your imagination run away with you and make it your own!
