## Description

### Agent Description
Welcome to Shipwatch Villas in North Topsail Beach--an easy, low-maintenance spot just steps from the ocean. This 2BR/2BA condo offers more privacy than most, sitting at the dead end of the walkway with less foot traffic and a more protected setting. It's never been used as a rental--only a second home. Inside, you'll find no carpet, updated kitchen, & newer appliances. The primary bedroom opens directly to the deck through a slider, making it easy to step out and catch the breeze without going through the main living space. Big-ticket items are already handled: heat pump replaced in 2019 (10-year Goodman warranty), water heater 2018, plus all windows and both sliders replaced in 2019. That's a major expense you won't have to think about. It's being sold fully furnished, so you can start using it day one--whether that's weekends at the beach or putting it into a rental program if you choose. Shipwatch offers a pool, beach access, elevator, and ramp for easy entry. HOA dues cover water, sewer, pest control, master insurance and flood policy, plus common area maintenance. If you've been looking for a move-in ready place without the wear and tear of a rental--and with a little more privacy than most--this one's worth a look. Schedule your showing and come see it for yourself.
