You will not find this for this price anywhere on the island! If you are looking for old charm mixed with a modern eclectic then hands down this little gem is for you. Every time I walk in I fall in love here. Originally built in the 1940's and used on the First Fisher Air Base as the Dispensary the structure was moved in the early 70's to the current location. It has been used as a private home since then. The current owners have painstakingly taken the time to bring back things that had been covered with years of other materials. Original hardwood floors are amazing lead you to 3 large bedrooms with large closets for the time period of this home. A wrap around porch on the upper level that catches the coastal breezes of the day that also leads down to a lower level apartment and large back yard area with an amazing live oak tree. The 80x100 lot is also unique to the area. Larger than most lots. This property sets adjacent to the buffer zone in Kure Beach that the government owns and at this time no building is allowed. So you enjoy a coastal lifestyle as well as a peaceful nature area where deer and other animal walk by. Beach accesses are within a couple of blocks of this home. The homes additional apartment may be rented weekly but not year round. Contact listing agent for more details on this. The home is heated with baseboard heat and window units but central heating and air could be easily added if desired. If you are looking for a home that reminds you of times gone by this is hands down the one for you. So much character and charm in a private setting is a must see. Located 20 minutes from downtown Wilmington , 2.5 hours from Raleigh and 4 hours from Charlotte. North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher is 5 mins from the home. Fort Fisher Historic Museum is 4 mins. The Kure Beach Pier is 8 mins and has some great fishing. Easy coastal living!
