511 N Anderson Blvd, Holly Ridge, NC 28445

A rare oceanfront opportunity on the south end of Topsail Island, 511 N Anderson Blvd is a West Indies–inspired residence that reads as much like a custom coastal retreat as it does a piece of functional art. Offered fully furnished and curated by an interior designer, the home spans 2,836 SF across three living levels and delivers dramatic Atlantic panoramas from multiple porches and windows.

Enter via an inviting foyer to a flexible entry level anchored by a family room with built-in bunks — perfect for kids or overflow guests — plus a private bedroom with full bath, laundry room and interior access to the garage. The main level is the entertaining heart: a dramatic living room with a massive fireplace and custom built-ins flows to the dining room and a generous, well-appointed kitchen with abundant cabinetry, an eat-at bar, and a butler's pantry that keeps service efficient during gatherings. Expansive windows on this level frame the high dunes and long ocean vistas; a large covered porch and adjoining sun deck provide immediate beach access to wide, uncrowded south-end sands.

The top level is arranged to maximize privacy and comfort for family and visitors, delivering a restful retreat away from the main entertaining spaces. Architecturally rich millwork, warm wood finishes, and thoughtful built-ins run throughout; the quality of the finishes and cohesive styling give the home a turnkey advantage for buyers who want an instantly livable oceanfront property or investors seeking premium vacation-rental positioning. Built in 1995 on a 7,405 SF lot, this property combines classic coastal character with contemporary comforts and a location that’s distinctly rare — true oceanfront on Topsail Island.

Practical considerations: the home uses a septic system and is subject to coastal setback, dune protection and flood insurance requirements common to oceanfront parcels. Buyers should request recent flood-elevation documentation and insurance history. Staged and offered to show the full potential of oceanfront living, this home is marketed to discerning buyers who value craftsmanship, privacy and direct beach access.

Topsail Island is a low-density barrier island community prized for long beaches, family-friendly atmosphere and a slower pace than larger coastal metros. The south end tends to be quieter and less developed than central Surf City, appealing to buyers who prioritize wide sand and privacy. Local services and restaurants cluster in Surf City, while Holly Ridge and Sneads Ferry provide mainland conveniences within a short drive.
