1070 New River Inlet Rd

North Topsail Beach, NC 28460

Positioned on a premier oceanfront homesite along New River Inlet, this elevated coastal residence captures sweeping, unobstructed views of the Atlantic from a vantage point rarely found along Topsail Island. Set back from the road with thoughtfully designed landscaping, including mature palms and seasonal plantings, the property offers both privacy and additional parking while maintaining direct access to the shoreline.

Designed for durability and ease of ownership, the exterior features low-maintenance Hardie board siding, a metal roof installed in 2022, and a full gutter system. The home is also equipped with a comprehensive hurricane shutter system, including a combination of manual, electric, solar-powered, and canvas options, providing added protection and peace of mind. A combination of vinyl and wood railings complements the home’s coastal architecture, while a two-bay garage with mini-split conditioning provides flexible space for storage, a workshop, or climate-controlled beach gear.

Inside, the main living level is crafted to fully embrace its oceanfront setting, with 9-foot ceilings, detailed crown molding, and wide-plank 7" LVP flooring creating a clean and cohesive backdrop throughout. The layout flows effortlessly between kitchen, dining, and living spaces, with the dining area centered to maximize both function and connection.

The kitchen is designed for gathering, anchored by an expansive 10-foot eat-in breakfast bar with pendant lighting above. Distinctive distressed countertops add character, complemented by a single-basin stainless steel sink with Kohler faucet, Café 5-burner stainless steel flat-top range, and a pantry-style storage area with a 4-door LG refrigerator, offering both capacity and convenience.

The living area is positioned to showcase the view, featuring an electric fireplace, recessed lighting, and an open layout that keeps the focus on the water.

Spanning the entire ocean-facing side of the home, a wall of glass defines the space, including multiple 8-foot sliding doors and a central 12-foot, four-panel slider — creating a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living.

Step outside to an expansive oceanfront deck exceeding 800 square feet, partially covered for shade and designed for year-round enjoyment. From morning coffee to evening gatherings, this space offers a front-row perspective of the Atlantic, complete with private beach access and an outdoor hot and cold shower for added convenience.

The main level also includes three additional guest rooms, offering flexibility for family, guests, or work-from-home needs. Two serve as bedrooms, while the third is currently configured as an office. A full guest bath features a cultured marble vanity and a jetted tub/shower combination with porcelain tile surround, continuing the home’s blend of comfort and function. A wet weather entry adds everyday practicality after time spent outdoors.

Upstairs, the home transitions into a more private setting with two suite-style bedrooms, each offering a distinct coastal experience.

The oceanfront primary suite is a true retreat, highlighted by vaulted ceilings and expansive glass that frames uninterrupted views of the Atlantic. An 8-foot sliding door leads to a private ocean-facing deck, creating a quiet escape to take in the coastline. The ensuite bath includes a dual cultured marble vanity with Moen fixtures and a custom tiled walk-in shower with 12" x 24" tile and river rock inlay, complete with dual shower heads and thoughtfully positioned views of the ocean. A walk-in closet completes the space.

The second upper-level suite offers its own private deck overlooking the sound, marsh, and Intracoastal Waterway, providing a contrasting backdrop of sunsets and coastal wildlife. An ensuite bath with a walk-in shower ensures comfort and privacy for guests.

Whether enjoyed as a primary residence, second home, or coastal retreat, this North Topsail Beach property delivers a rare combination of elevation, views, and thoughtfully designed living spaces — all set along one of the most dynamic stretches of coastline on Topsail Island.
