About This Home
This 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom single family at 525 Fourth Avenue S in Kure Beach, NC is listed for $400,000 ($517 per sqft). Built in 1940, the home offers 774 sqft of living space on a 0.06 acres lot.
Welcome to a classic slice of coastal history in highly desirable Kure Beach--just two streets from the ocean and tucked into one of the most beloved small beach towns along the Carolina coast. This 1940 beach cottage offers 774 square feet of relaxed coastal living with 2 bedrooms and 1 bath, filled with vintage character and the kind of charm that makes beach homes feel like a true escape.
It captures the essence of simple, unpretentious coastal living in a location where opportunities at this price point are becoming increasingly limited. For those seeking a second home, this is an easy, low-maintenance coastal getaway in a town known for its laid-back pace, natural beauty, and timeless beach atmosphere.
The compact footprint keeps ownership simple--ideal for spontaneous coastal getaways, extended stays, or a convenient lock-and-leave lifestyle. At the same time, the location and character create strong flexibility for short-term rental use when not enjoyed personally.
Properties this close to the ocean in Kure Beach consistently attract steady interest from vacationers seeking authentic coastal cottages with charm and personality. That dual-use potential--personal enjoyment plus supplemental rental income--adds meaningful versatility.
The manageable lot helps keep maintenance and operating costs low, and with no HOA, owners enjoy added freedom and fewer restrictions--an increasingly valuable advantage in today's coastal market. Guests and owners alike will appreciate convenient proximity to area attractions including the iconic Kure Beach Pier, local dining, Fort Fisher State Hi
storic Site, the North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher, and the ferry to Southport--offering a variety of coastal experiences just minutes away. Freshly painted inside and out, this move-in-ready cottage represents a rare opportunity to own an affordable piece of Kure Beach history--whether as a cherished coastal retreat, a flexible investment, or both--in one of the most desirable and tightly held beach markets on the North Carolina coast.
