Rare ICW-Front Townhouse with Private Elevator -- Heron Cove, Oak Island, NC Best of both worlds with an Intracoastal Waterway view and a 0.7 mile walk to the beach at the Ocean. Unit B2 at Heron Cove is a 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom, 1,560 sq ft townhouse built in 2019 on its own private driveway off E. Yacht Drive. All three floors are yours -- private entrance, no shared hallways, no common corridors. The Garaventa in-unit elevator (installed 2020, serviced February 2025; records available) connects every level. The second floor is the heart of the home.

A large private storage room provides dedicated space for gear without touching the living area. An attached carport completes the ground floor. Refrigerator, dishwasher, range, microwave, TV mounts, and storage shelving all convey with the property. HOA coverage includes the exterior building structure, landscaping, water, sewer, taxes on the building and land, and NFIP flood insurance (policy on file; zero prior claims) -- a rare combination that consolidates major coastal ownership costs into a single monthly payment. Oak Island has no high-rises and no traffic lights. Consistently ranked among the most affordable coastal communities on the East Coast, with a pace and character that sets it apart from the typical resort market.

Where SE 22nd Street meets The Davis Canal, beneath a canopy of maritime oaks that wrap you in quiet, 108 SE 22nd Street has something harder to find than square footage: genuine peace. The trees, the stillness. It feels different from the moment you turn off Oak Island Drive. This is the kind of neighborhood where the pace slows down and stays that way. Also bringing peace are the NEW FORTIFIED ROOF, which was installed in April 2026, and the NEW WATER HEATER, which was installed in May 2026. The HVAC system was replaced in 2020. No flood zone designation. An APEC reverse osmosis system delivering pure, crisp, clean water on demand. An irrigation system running on a well. This home has been cared for with intention, and you will feel that the moment you arrive. Step inside, and the vaulted ceilings immediately open up the space. The home surprises you, feeling larger and lighter than you expected, with sunlight pouring in on an open plan flowing from the living room through the dining area into a kitchen with granite countertops, white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, including a one-year-old LG dishwasher, and updated LVP flooring that runs clean and coastal underfoot. The primary suite sits on the main level with a generous walk-in closet and a well-appointed full bath. Two additional bedrooms handle guests, family, or whatever the next season of life requires. Outside is where this home finds its voice. The screened porch wraps around the side of the home, away from the road, putting you in the treetops with the breeze and without the noise. The covered front deck is sized for rocking chairs, coffee, and unhurried mornings. Below, the covered under-house offers generous space for beach gear, golf cart parking, kayaks, and the comfortable clutter of island life. The backyard is fully enclosed by a six-foot wood privacy fence, kept effortlessly green by the well-fed irrigation system, and sized to accommodate a future pool. An outdoor shower and a large storage room complete the ground-level picture. The beach walkover on SE 20th Street is three blocks away. The Davis Canal is at the foot of the street. The pier, dining, and the recreation center are all an easy golf cart or bike ride from the driveway. Updated, protected, and ready for its next chapter.
