Description

Nestled along the peaceful southern end of Masonboro Island, 1855 Newkirk Rd offers more than just a home—it delivers a lifestyle. This private waterfront retreat features true deep-water access, even at low tide, along with a floating dock and a 10,000-pound boat lift. Start your mornings by launching a kayak from the built-in storage, paddling across the waterway to roam quiet sandbars, or casting into some of the best fly and spin-cast fishing just 100 meters from your dock. The interior is designed...Nestled along the peaceful southern end of Masonboro Island, 1855 Newkirk Rd offers more than just a home—it delivers a lifestyle. This private waterfront retreat features true deep-water access, even at low tide, along with a floating dock and a 10,000-pound boat lift. Start your mornings by launching a kayak from the built-in storage, paddling across the waterway to roam quiet sandbars, or casting into some of the best fly and spin-cast fishing just 100 meters from your dock. The interior is designed to complement the coastal setting with a bright, open layout and abundant natural light throughout. The main floor features a spacious kitchen with quartz countertops, a welcoming living room, an office space, two bedrooms, and two full bathrooms. Just off the living space are porches that overlook the water, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow ideal for relaxing or entertaining. Upstairs, the entire second level is dedicated to the primary suite—a peaceful retreat with its own private porch and long-range views across the Intracoastal Waterway. This level also includes a second dedicated office space, perfect for remote work or a creative studio setup. Wake up to the sunrise from your bed and enjoy quiet mornings or evening breezes in complete privacy. The ground level has a distinct nautical feel and offers flexible space ideal for guests, kids, or a relaxed entertainment area. It includes a tackle room with a poured concrete fish-cleaning station and room for a workshop or man cave setup. The detached Additional Dwelling Unit (ADU) presents a rare opportunity to offset the cost of waterfront living, generating approximately $60,000 annually in rental income. Outfitted with a metal roof and its own private feel, the ADU enhances both the lifestyle and investment value of the property. Whether you're casting at sunrise, entertaining on the porch, or boating over to Masonboro Island, 1855 Newkirk Rd captures the best of coastal living.
