Step inside this thoughtfully updated single-level coastal home at 625 S Fourth Ave and immediately appreciate the combination of vacation-ready convenience and everyday livability. At 1,353 square feet, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence was renovated with attention to durable finishes — hardwood floors through the main living areas, vaulted ceilings that enhance interior volume, and an updated kitchen with solid-surface countertops and modern appliances. The living area flows openly to dining, creating a natural entertaining layout that’s easy to maintain when renting or hosting family and friends.
The property is offered furnished and has a documented strong rental history, making it an ideal turnkey purchase for investors or buyers seeking an immediate coastal retreat. The master suite and secondary bedrooms are sized for comfort, and the updated baths provide modern fixtures and tile work. Practical features include a dedicated laundry room, interior storage, and a convenient outdoor shower for rinsing off after beach visits. A fenced yard grants privacy and pet-friendly space, while the covered parking under the home provides room for multiple vehicles and guest parking — a rare convenience in this walkable beach neighborhood.
Location is the standout: you’re only about two blocks from a handicap-accessible public beach access, within short walking distance to local parks, disc golf, and courts for tennis and pickleball. In the evenings you can take advantage of Cape Fear River views and nearby Fort Fisher for fishing, trails, and history. The roof was replaced in 2020 (seller disclosure), and the property’s coastal setting is supported by strong seasonal demand — especially for turnkey, well-maintained homes that accept short-term rentals (confirm permitting requirements with the Town of Kure Beach).
Whether you’re buying as an income-producing vacation rental or as an owner-occupied home with supplemental rental income, this property reduces friction to market with furnishings and recent upgrades. Schedule a showing to see the combination of location, condition, and rental-ready setup that make 625 S Fourth Ave a rare coastal opportunity.
Kure Beach is a small, low-rise coastal town on the southern tip of Pleasure Island. The area is defined by relaxed beach living, friendly locally-owned restaurants, small retail nodes, and easy access to Fort Fisher State Recreation Area and the Cape Fear River. Homes are a mix of longtime residents and vacation rentals; pedestrian access to the beach and outdoor recreation is a primary neighborhood draw.
Kure Beach sits at the southern end of the Wilmington coastal corridor and consistently attracts buyers seeking proximity to the Atlantic without the density of larger resort towns. Demand favors turnkey homes within walking distance to the beach; inventory tends to be low in peak seasons. Median sales in the broader Wilmington MSA have shown steady appreciation over recent years, and beach-adjacent properties often trade at premiums to inland comparables. With this listing priced at $850,000 (≈$628/SF), the property competes as a premium, furnished coastal product with proven rental performance. For investors, expect stronger rates and higher occupancy in spring–fall and holiday windows; for owner-users, the home provides immediate lifestyle upside and the ability to offset carrying costs with rental revenue. Verify local permit requirements for short-term rentals — compliance is essential to realizing projected revenue.
