There's a particular kind of quiet that settles in when you own a beach home with the water at your back door. Endless days enjoying the beach, fishing from your own private dock, your boat resting in your private lift, relaxing with a good book as the canal catches the last light, nothing left on the agenda but to enjoy the sunset from your favorite spot. At 17 Monroe Street, this is not a vacation fantasy... it's Tuesday. This canal-front residence has been thoughtfully updated to feel effortless with quiet consistency and a palette that stays steady coastal-refined. Vaulted ceilings and abundant natural light open the 1,500+ square foot interior, and wood-look LVP flooring runs throughout. The kitchen anchors the open living and dining space with white cabinetry, dark countertops, stainless appliances and a timeless shell/glass inspired tile backsplash; a room built as much for hosting as for everyday living. Both bathrooms carry the same attention to detail, with walk-in tiled showers, frameless glass enclosures, updated vanities and gold-tone fixtures that add a warm, beach boutique polish. Four bedrooms offer the flexibility to host family, guests, or simply spread out. The real luxury, though, is how the home extends outward. An expansive covered rear porch turns the canal into a backdrop for everything from quiet mornings to unhurried dinners, while the ground-level patio offers a second, more intimate retreat in the shade. Covered parking and dedicated storage keep the golf cart and water toys out of sight, yet always ready. For those who measure a property by its amenities, this one delivers: direct water access, a private dock and boat lift open directly onto the canal, with an easy run out to the Intracoastal Waterway for a morning of fishing or an afternoon on the boat. The Monroe Street beach access, OIB Community Center, Ocean Isle Beach park, Museum, pier, island restaurants and shops are all just around the corner. New siding, new decks, stairs, flooring, paint, dock, lift....everything has been done for you. Whether as a primary residence, a private coastal escape, or a distinguished addition to an investment portfolio, 17 Monroe Street offers a rare pairing on Ocean Isle Beach: understated luxury and true waterfront living, in one address.

Historic Craftsman Bungalow in the Heart of Downtown Wilmington. Discover a rare opportunity to own a meticulously cared for historic home in the heart of vibrant downtown Wilmington. Built in 1930, the McLaughlin-Richard House is a charming Craftsman-style bungalow offering approximately 1,483 square feet, three bedrooms, single story living, beautiful period details, and an exceptionally deep lot extending from 7th Street to Wilson Street. From the moment you arrive, the home's character is unmistakable. The classic brick-and-frame Craftsman façade, broad covered front porch, mature landscaping, and established trees create an inviting first impression and reflect the enduring appeal of this special property. Inside, the home has been lovingly maintained and retains architectural details that are increasingly difficult to find. Abundant oversized windows fill the living spaces with natural light, while substantial white trim, decorative wall detailing, textured plaster walls and ceilings, and graceful architectural transitions between rooms speak to the craftsmanship of an earlier era. The spacious living area is anchored by a handsome original-style brick fireplace creating a natural focal point for the room. An elegant columned opening, wide passageways, and generous windows give the main living spaces a wonderful sense of openness while preserving their historic character. Beneath the existing carpeting lies an exciting glimpse of the home's original beauty: hardwood flooring! The additional 621 square feet upstairs is not included in the square footage of the home due to the ceiling heights. While the house itself is special, the size and configuration of the property make this offering particularly compelling. The beautiful, tree-lined lot extends from 7th Street through to Wilson Street, providing access to the rear of the property from Wilson Street, a potentially valuable feature for a downtown Wilmington residence. The possibilities are intriguing. Preserve the expansive yard as a private garden and outdoor retreat, create additional parking, or investigate options for an accessory structure while maintaining the historic residence as the centerpiece of the property. Incredible Location is another standout feature. The home is just one block from Robert Strange Park, putting recreation remarkably close to home. Even more of Wilmington's downtown lifestyle awaits approximately seven blocks away at the coveted Wilmington Riverfront, where restaurants, shopping, entertainment, historic streets, and beautiful views of the Cape Fear River create one of the city's most desirable destinations. This is the kind of location that makes it possible to enjoy both the neighborhood character of historic Wilmington and the energy of downtown living. The history of the property adds another meaningful dimension. According to the Historic Wilmington Foundation, Inc., the McLaughlin-Richard House was built in 1930 in the Craftsman bungalow style for Robert McLaughlin (1885-1942). The property was purchased in 1944 by George L. Richard (1895-1975), a yard worker and small-business operator, and his wife, Millie Bryant Richard (1907-1994), a beautician and owner of Lezora's Beauty Salon. The Richards were natives of Craven County, North Carolina. That documented history connects the home to the people and small businesses that were part of Wilmington's story. The McLaughlin-Richard House is more than a place to live. It is a chance to own a distinctive piece of Wilmington history, enjoy the lifestyle of downtown, and become the next caretaker of a home that has stood here for nearly a century. Historic character. A remarkable lot. Downtown convenience. And possibilities for the future, all in the heart of Wilmington.
