Introducing 15 Shipyard Lane, a rare luxury waterfront pre-sale opportunity in Hampstead, North Carolina, where refined coastal architecture meets life along the Intracoastal Waterway. Designed and built by Lewis Coastal Homes, with architecture by Sullivan Design Company and interiors by Blue Heron Designs, this custom residence brings together relaxed Low Country character and sophisticated West Indies influence. A deeded boat slip with lift further elevates the experience, offering direct access to the coastal lifestyle this home was designed around. Thoughtfully designed for modern coastal living, the residence features 4 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, a 2-car garage, elevator, dedicated office, bunk room, future recreation and gym spaces, front and rear porches, and an outdoor shower. The architectural vision is defined by an airy coastal palette, breezy porches and timeless millwork layered with modern lines, rich tropical woods, natural materials and warm bronze accents. Exterior details include crisp Greek Villa siding, a dark bronze standing-seam metal roof, mahogany tongue-and-groove porch ceilings, Red Balau decking, dark bronze horizontal railings and a dramatic pivot entry door. Inside, white-oak-inspired flooring, custom millwork and modern bronze hardware establish a warm, understated foundation. A floating white oak and bronze staircase creates an architectural centerpiece, while the main living space is designed around a vaulted ceiling, a linear gas fireplace, a white oak mantel, and an oyster-inspired tabby surround. The kitchen is both functional and visually striking, featuring ceiling-height cabinetry, slim-shaker white and white oak finishes, waterfall quartz, an apron-front sink, floating white oak shelving and carefully considered custom details. The curated appliance package includes a 36-inch Café professional 6-burner gas range, Café French-door refrigerator and Bosch 800 Series panel-ready dishwasher. The primary suite delivers a resort-inspired retreat with white oak cabinetry, quartz surfaces, a freestanding soaking tub, zero-entry shower and mother-of-pearl-inspired tile detailing. Guest accommodations and secondary spaces continue the same cohesive approach to materials, craftsmanship and coastal design. Set within Sloop Pointe Plantation, 15 Shipyard Lane offers a distinctive opportunity to pair custom waterfront living with exceptional boating access. The deeded boat slip and lift make it easy to step from home to the water, whether cruising the Intracoastal Waterway, heading toward Topsail Island, or spending the day exploring the North Carolina coast. From quiet mornings overlooking the water to afternoons on the boat and evenings gathered on the porch, every element of this residence has been conceived around the rhythm of coastal life. 15 Shipyard Lane is more than a new home--it is a modern interpretation of timeless coastal living.

Few properties capture the history and character of Topsail Island quite like 616 N Shore Drive. Built in 1957 and positioned directly along the Atlantic Ocean in the heart of Surf City, this quintessential beach cottage offers a rare combination of old-school coastal charm, an exceptionally versatile layout, and a setting that is becoming increasingly difficult to replicate. Adding to its uniqueness, two former 60-foot-wide oceanfront lots have been recombined into one expansive homesite, creating an uncommon stretch of beachfront ownership and possibilities that extend well beyond the walls of the cottage. True to its roots, the cottage maintains the simple, unmistakable character of an earlier era on Topsail Island while incorporating thoughtful improvements designed for life along the coast. Hardie siding wraps the exterior, accented by classic Bimini-style shutters along the street side and protective hurricane shutters facing the ocean. Along the oceanfront, a spacious covered porch stretches across the front of the home, preserving the timeless connection between cottage and coastline. Just beyond, the dunes give way to the shoreline and Atlantic beyond. Inside, the home's 1957 character takes center stage. Rich knotty pine walls and 2.25-inch hardwood floors run throughout much of the main living areas, creating the warmth and authenticity of a classic Topsail beach cottage, while a wall of oceanfront windows keeps the Atlantic firmly in view. The living and dining areas flow naturally together, with plenty of room for everyone to gather while enjoying the ocean as a constant backdrop. The adjoining kitchen blends seamlessly into the home's original character while offering thoughtful updates for today's use. A tongue-and-groove wood ceiling continues the cottage aesthetic overhead, complemented by butcher block countertops, a tiled backsplash, white cabinetry, and a six-foot pendant-lit eat-in bar. A large single-basin stainless steel sink sits beneath an impressive six-foot window, bringing abundant natural light into the space. Three bedrooms complete the main level, including an oceanfront bedroom where multiple windows frame sweeping views of the beach and Atlantic beyond. A full guest bath has been refreshed with LVP flooring, beadboard accents, a quartz-topped single vanity, fiberglass walk-in shower, and nearby linen storage. Downstairs, the home opens into an unexpectedly spacious ground-level living area, adding tremendous flexibility for larger groups and extended stays. LVP flooring runs throughout much of the level, while the open central gathering space offers ample room for entertaining, recreation, or simply spreading out while still enjoying the home together. Three additional guest rooms provide comfortable accommodations for family and visitors, while a second full bath serves the downstairs with a shower/tub combination and a conveniently located laundry area adds everyday practicality. A second full bath serves the downstairs with a shower/tub combination, while a conveniently located laundry area adds everyday practicality. Outside, the setting takes center stage. A spacious covered oceanfront porch stretches across the length of the home, creating a front-row seat to the Atlantic and an inviting place to start the morning, unwind after a day on the sand, or simply enjoy the sights and sounds of the ocean. From the porch, private stairs lead directly across the dunes to the beach, putting the shoreline just steps from the door. A thoughtfully enclosed hot-and-cold outdoor shower is conveniently positioned on the oceanfront deck, making the transition from beach to home effortless. Beyond the immediate oceanfront setting, the property offers something increasingly difficult to find along Topsail Island: space. The homesite encompasses approximately 0.40 acre. Formerly configured as two separate lots, the property was recombined into a single homesite, creating an exceptionally oceanfront footprint with added flexibility for a future pool, expanded outdoor living, recreation, or other permitted improvements. Adding to the property's long-term appeal, Surf City and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers have executed the Project Partnership Agreement for the area's planned beach nourishment project. With this stretch of shoreline included within the project area, the initiative provides an encouraging outlook for a wider, healthier beach and adds another compelling dimension to this already distinctive oceanfront property. With the Atlantic just beyond the front porch, accommodations spread across two levels, generous gathering spaces, and the beach quite literally at your doorstep, 616 North Shore Drive captures what generations have loved about Surf City, a place built around long beach days, full houses, and time spent together.
