709 Ocean Blvd is an unmistakable piece of Topsail coastline: a three-story oceanfront residence that opens wide to the Atlantic and delivers the kind of scale and utility coastal buyers demand. Sited on a 10,018 sq ft lot with direct beach access, this 2,698 sq ft home was built for comfort as much as for views—9-foot ceilings on principal levels, a working elevator to all floors, and broad, panoramic exposures to the water.
Inside, generous rooms accommodate family gatherings and vacation rental groups alike. The living spaces include a fireplace with gas logs for cooler evenings and practical coastal finishes that reflect careful maintenance; condition is listed as good. A primary suite with walk-in closet and a walk-in shower provides private convenience, while multiple additional bedrooms and bathrooms make hosting effortless. Systems are coastal-ready with a metal roof, heat pump and central AC, propane for gas appliances, municipal water and septic service.
Practical coastal design continues outside: an attached garage and driveway parking for several vehicles simplify arrival and storage, and the lot’s level topography gives easy access to the beach. The home’s wood-frame construction and durable exterior materials are aligned with long-term maintenance planning commonly required for oceanfront properties.
From an ownership and investment perspective, the house shows strong upside. Last sold in April 2021 for $1,033,000, current valuation analysis places the property between $1.4M and $1.5M (midpoint $1,450,000), supported by tight inventory and steady appreciation in this segment. With direct ocean frontage, an elevator, and 5 bedrooms/4 bathrooms, the home also projects strong short-term rental appeal—an estimated monthly rent of roughly $5,000 reflects current demand for similar oceanfront properties.
Buyers should note coastal ownership considerations—insurance, maintenance, and potential flood exposure—and verify lot boundaries and permit histories during diligence. For those seeking a primary coastal home or a high-performing investment in Topsail Beach/Holly Ridge, 709 Ocean Blvd blends proven rentalability, functional design, and incomparable ocean access into a compelling coastal offering.
Holly Ridge’s Topsail Beach area is classic low-country coastal living—wide sand, relaxed streets, and an active seasonal rhythm. Residents enjoy immediate beach access, easy drives to Surf City’s amenities and pier, and proximity to North Topsail Beach. The neighborhood mixes year-round homeowners and vacation properties, creating a community that supports both quiet residential life and seasonal tourism. Local schools are well-regarded, and the town’s modest size contributes to a close-knit, coastal lifestyle while still providing convenient access to Jacksonville MSA services and Onslow County resources.
This stretch of Topsail Beach/Holly Ridge is operating as a seller’s market: limited supply and steady buyer demand keep inventory tight at roughly 2.5 months. Median sale price for the area is near $1,000,000, with one-year appreciation around 5% and a five-year appreciation near 25%. Single-family oceanfront homes, especially those with direct beach access and larger footprints, typically outpace inland product—averaging faster sales and higher price-per-square-foot. Average days on market for comparable coastal properties is about 45 days, signaling healthy velocity but not frantic turnover. Rental performance supports income buyers: local rental comps and income modeling show estimated monthly rents near $5,000 and a rent-per-square-foot around $1.85, producing a modest gross yield consistent with coastal investment properties. For buyers, the present market favors sellers, but properties with turnkey condition, proven amenities (elevator, garage, elevated systems), and direct beach frontage continue to capture premium pricing. Smart buyers will pair swift action with thorough due diligence on insurance and flood risk given the exposure inherent to oceanfront ownership.
