Welcome to 23 Island Drive on South Harbor Island, arguably Wrightsville's most desirable year-round residential neighborhood. This classic coastal home offers the perfect blend of charm, functionality, and location—with perpetual water views and an unmatched community vibe. Inside, Caribbean heart pine floors and abundant natural light set a welcoming warm tone. The open living area boasts great water views from nearly every window overlooking the Island Drive Mini Park. A granite-topped kitchen opens to a partially covered rear porch, ideal for dinning al fresco while enjoying Wrightsville's famed ocean cooled evenings. The primary suite includes dramatic water views and is flanked by two private ensuite porches, offering quiet moments of retreat any time of day. Below, a fully enclosed garage and generous covered carport space provide rare storage and ample parking - both invaluable assets at the beach. Additional features: outside shower, hurricane shutters, cedar shake siding, metal roof, structure elevated on pilings, multiple fig trees on site. South Harbor Island is more than a location; it is a lifestyle. Residents gather at the waterfront park for cookouts, sunset watching, and friendly conversation, making this community one of the most tight knit on the island. Whether you're seeking a full time residence or a coastal getaway with incredible bones - 23 Island Drive is a rare opportunity to own in a truly special place.
