329 Fifth Ave S Unit A, Kure Beach, NC 28449

This three-story townhome sits just a short walk from the Kure Beach Pier and delivers the kind of layered coastal living buyers look for: multiple outdoor decks with partial ocean views, smart updates, and a flexible ground-floor suite with its own entrance. Built in 1997 and thoughtfully maintained, the 1,860 SF layout balances communal gathering space with private retreats — ideal as a primary residence, second home, or a strong vacation-rental candidate.

On the main level an updated kitchen anchors open living and dining areas. Practical finishes include LVP flooring throughout, stainless-steel appliances, and distinctive wood countertops that bring warmth and texture. A main-level bedroom and full bath add convenience for guests or multi-generational living. Upstairs, the primary suite opens to a private balcony for early-evening breezes and ocean glimpses; its recently refreshed bath matches the home’s overall clean, coastal palette. An additional upper bedroom and bath complete the middle floor.

The ground level is a standout: a private entrance, full bath, and generous room that can serve as a guest suite, home office, or game room — a rare configuration that expands rental and long-term-use flexibility. Multiple decks stacked across levels extend the living area outdoors, each a place to watch the light shift over neighborhood rooftops and to catch distant water views.

Practical coastal considerations are in place: central A/C, heat pump heating, public water and sewer, and a concrete tandem driveway that fits three vehicles (no garage). There’s no HOA, simplifying short-term rental options for investors who want to capitalize on Kure Beach’s strong seasonal demand. Walking distance to local dining and the pier, and an easy drive to Fort Fisher State Recreation Area and the Carolina Beach Boardwalk, this home places you where the action — and the shoreline — are most accessible.

Recent local sales and an active vacation-rental market support the value here. The property was purchased in 2024; comparable townhomes nearby have sold in the $600K–$635K range, and furnished rentals in the area commonly command $2,900–$3,100/month in peak season. Buyers should verify flood zone requirements and complete a full inspection for roof, HVAC, and plumbing, but for those who want a turnkey beach-oriented lifestyle with multiple living options, this townhome delivers a rare combination of location, versatility, and immediate usability.

Kure Beach is a small, walkable coastal town prized for its wide sandy beaches, fishing pier, and relaxed atmosphere. Residents enjoy local seafood restaurants, small shops, and community events clustered near the pier and nearby boardwalks. Outdoor recreation is abundant: Fort Fisher State Recreation Area and the North Carolina Aquarium are a short drive away, while seasonal activities and festivals create a strong sense of community. The town’s compact size makes it ideal for buyers who want beach access and small-town convenience with proximity to the larger Wilmington MSA.
