One address where the Atlantic greets you at sunrise and the Intracoastal closes the day in gold. This is that address. From the comfort of your own bed, the primary suite delivers sparkling Atlantic sunrise views that no lower unit can replicate ~and a custom-organized walk-in closet that brings quiet order to every single morning. The guest suite faces the opposite direction entirely, offering Intracoastal marsh views and sunset skies that make overnight guests linger long past their welcome. Two suites. Two entirely different, equally breathtaking views. One extraordinary floor plan that only the penthouse level makes possible. The volume ceilings and transom windows ~ exclusive to penthouse units ~ flood every room with a quality of natural light the floors below simply cannot access. The great room opens without interruption to the ocean-facing balcony, erasing the line between inside and out the way only top-floor living can. The updated kitchen ~ solid surface countertops, stainless steel appliances, and ceramic tile floors ~ flows directly into the dining and entertaining space so nobody gets exiled to the kitchen while the party happens elsewhere. Every update has been executed with pride and maintained with care by the original owners: brand new luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout, fresh neutral paint from top to bottom, updated bathrooms with comfort height toilets and solid surface countertops, new water heater, updated electrical throughout including all switches, outlets, and GFCIs, and brand new furnishings including sleeper sofas for additional guest accommodations. The unit sleeps ten. Everything conveys. Walk in, unpack, and start living ~or start earning. Tucked to the far right of the top floor, away from pool and elevator areas that can generate noise during peak season ~ this is the quiet end of the building with all the views and none of the commotion. Below, the community delivers: an oceanfront pool, direct private beach boardwalk access, outdoor grilling and picnic areas, rinse-off shower station, pet-friendly policy, and two elevators serving every floor for effortless luggage, groceries, and beach gear. Seaview Pier is 2.4 miles away. Surf City Beach and North Shore Golf Course are within 6 miles. The Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue Center, waterfront dining in Surf City, and miles of unspoiled Topsail Island coastline are all within easy reach. Whether this becomes a primary coastal residence, a lock-and-leave vacation retreat, or a turn-key investment property generating income from the first booking ~this penthouse is unoccupied, fully furnished, all appliances and contents convey, and ready without a single compromise.$15,000 seller concession ~ use it toward a rate buy down, closing costs, or whatever serves your purchase best. The sellers are motivated and the opportunity is real. The top floor of Shipwatch Villas has been waiting for its next great owner. Is it you?
