Six bedrooms, four bathrooms, and approximately 2,607 square feet of combined living and additional space, all just blocks from the beach in the heart of Carolina Beach. Completely renovated from top to bottom, this coastal retreat offers two distinct living spaces, beautifully curated interiors, an incredible backyard designed for entertaining, and the flexibility to enjoy as a second home, full-time residence, or income-producing investment. With 1,841 square feet in the main residence and an additional 766 square feet in the lower-level apartment, the property offers a unique opportunity to accommodate guests, create separate living arrangements, or explore rental income potential, all under one roof. Located just a short stroll from the Spartanburg beach access, Carolina Beach Lake, and the weekly Farmers Market, the best of island living is right outside your door. Inside, thoughtful renovations blend coastal character with modern design. Original shiplap pairs beautifully with updated LVP flooring and tile throughout. The kitchen features new appliances, soft-close cabinetry, under-cabinet lighting, open shelving, and a stunning custom-made dining table that anchors the space. Custom trim work and a built-in landing zone add thoughtful finishing touches. The main residence features four bedrooms and three bathrooms, including a spacious primary suite with a walk-in closet, oversized walk-in shower, and private balcony. Two beautifully designed bunk rooms and an additional guest bedroom provide plenty of options for hosting friends and family. Downstairs, a fully equipped two-bedroom, one-bath apartment offers its own private entrance, kitchen, living area, and outdoor patio. Whether used for extended stays, guest accommodations, or potential rental income, this additional space creates flexibility that sets the property apart. Separate laundry facilities accessible to both levels, an outdoor shower, and generous storage add to the home's functionality. And then there's the backyard. Designed to make the most of Carolina Beach living, this outdoor retreat features a custom-built firepit, expansive patio, covered entertaining area wired for an outdoor TV, and a custom storage shed. A new aluminum staircase with Trex decking connects the spaces, while improvements including new fiber cement siding, two HVAC systems, new water heaters, and a metal roof completed prior to the current ownership add lasting value. Six bedrooms, two distinct living spaces, and endless possibilities just blocks from the sand. Whether you're looking for a coastal getaway with room to host, a property with income potential, or a beautifully renovated home that offers something beyond the traditional floor plan, 305 Sumter Avenue is an opportunity worth exploring.
