Discover the epitome of coastal living in this beautifully designed piling home, crafted by a renowned local builder with top-notch subcontractors. Perfectly positioned on Oak Island, this home is not in a flood zone—no flood insurance required! Enjoy direct beach access via SE 55th Street and a public boat launch on the ICW through NE 55th Street. This unique architecture features an elevated design to accommodate a boat or tall RV. Both the front and rear porch ceilings are adorned with tongue and groove painted Sky High for good luck, and mature oaks provide privacy, creating a treehouse-like ambiance with large windows and transoms. Inside, you'll find sleek matte black hardware and solid wood cabinetry throughout, complemented by wide plank hardwood floors. The beautifully landscaped yard includes sod and irrigation, an outdoor shower, and ground-level storage for beach toys and a golf cart. There's also an outlet for electric car charging, and the spacious backyard is suitable for a pool. The interior boasts an open concept floor plan with a split bedroom design. Custom tile work is featured in the bathrooms, along with high-end marble countertops. The chef's kitchen offers abundant storage, custom tile backsplash, high-end granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances, with a tray ceiling featuring tongue and groove accent. Bedroom walls are insulated for sound protection and privacy, and wood shelving and true built-ins are found in the kitchen pantry, primary bedroom, and bathroom closets. The home includes a large screened rear porch and an open deck perfect for grilling or a future outdoor lift. Located close to all the best amenities, you'll find restaurants, shopping, breweries, and the Middleton Complex, which features farmers markets, a splash pad, tennis and pickleball courts, basketball courts, playgrounds, and Friday night summer concerts. Both the boat launch and beach access are less than a 5-minute walk away... COME SEE 218 NE 55TH STREET
