Designed across multiple levels to embrace its position along the shoreline, the home offers approximately 2388 heated square feet with multiple oceanfront decks that extend the living experience outdoors. Expansive windows and sliding doors frame the Atlantic, filling the interiors with natural light and keeping the ocean beautifully present throughout the home. The main living level provides an inviting gathering space with open living and dining areas, wet bar, updated LVP flooring and a retiled fireplace with electric insert and heating unit. The kitchen has benefited from upgraded appliances within the past three years, while a retractable awning creates another comfortable place to enjoy the ocean breeze. Above, the penthouse level offers an additional sense of retreat with a remodeled bath, LVP flooring, updated décor and its own retractable awning. The sellers have made numerous improvements throughout the residence, including replacement of the majority of windows and all sliding doors, bathroom updates, newer water heaters, HVAC systems replaced within approximately four years and deck updates. A detailed seller-provided list of improvements and approximate dates is available for buyers. Outside is where Australian Gold East truly captures the coastal lifestyle. Professionally landscaped grounds feature a putting green and sprinkler system, while a private hot tub with newer enclosure offers an inviting place to unwind after a day on the beach. An outdoor shower, multiple decks and a private walkway leading toward the beach and oceanfront gazebo making days on the shoreline wonderfully effortless . With an established vacation-rental presence, Australian Gold East offers compelling versatility as a second home, personal coastal retreat or income-producing vacation property. And for buyers envisioning something even more distinctive, Australian Gold West is also available for purchase, creating the rare opportunity to acquire the entire oceanfront duplex. Own East or West individually, or bring both residences together to create an extraordinary oceanfront compound with the flexibility for personal use, vacation rentals or a combination of both. Australian Gold East is more than a place at the beach--it is an opportunity to own your place on the oceanfront in Emerald Isle.
