Waterfront. Acreage. Custom Design. Perfectly positioned on 3.48 private acres with over 100 feet of waterfront along Topsail Sound and convenient access to the Intracoastal Waterway, this architecturally distinctive residence captures expansive water views while offering a rare sense of privacy -- all just 4 miles from Surf City beach access and moments from local dining, shops, breweries, and the pedestrian walkway to the Surf City Bridge.
