404 Shoreline Drive ESunset Beach, NC 28468

At 404 Shoreline Drive East, the transition to refined coastal living is orchestrated with effortless grace. Positioned on the mainland of Sunset Beach, this deepwater estate offers a rare panoptic vantage point along the Intracoastal Waterway, where unobstructed water views and Southern elegance converge. The sense of arrival is immediate, guided by a circular concrete drive and a canopy of majestic live oaks that signal the property's quiet permanence. This solid brick residence stands as a testament to architectural integrity, featuring antique heart pine floors, plantation shutters, and meticulous millwork from the deep baseboards to the ornate ceiling moldings. Inside, the residence unfolds with a chef's kitchen equipped with a Viking range, an informal breakfast retreat overlooking the water, and dedicated service cabinetry. The hosting experience is elevated by a formal dining room with elegant chair rails and an adjacent butler's service station. In the great room, a wall of sliding glass doors with transom windows disappears to unite the interior with the terrace, while built-ins frame the fireplace for a sense of composed warmth. The primary suite, a sanctuary located on the main level, features dual walk-in closets and a lavish bath with a two-headed shower, a clawfoot tub, and a heated towel rack. Work and leisure are balanced with sophistication. A stunning library and office features its own fireplace, custom built-ins, and views overlooking the ICW, while the upper level hosts a comprehensive media and billiards room. The outdoor lifestyle is unrivaled. A private deepwater dock with a brand-new boat lift provides direct access to the ICW. The ground-floor terrace, finished with brick-laid floors and a tongue-and-groove ceiling, leads to a climate-controlled saltwater pool, a hot tub, and an upscale outbuilding that mirrors the residence's aesthetic. Strategic upgrades - including a three-car garage, Rinnai on-demand water heaters, a newly installed generator, and a new roof - ensure peace of mind for either a primary residence or a prestigious seasonal getaway. With the beach just a short golf cart journey away, this residence offers an effortless transition between a day on the water and a quiet afternoon by the ocean.
