Einfamilienhaus In Ocean Isle Beach

There’s a particular kind of quiet that settles in when you own a beach home with the water at your back door. Endless days enjoying the beach, fishing from your own private dock, your boat resting in your private lift, relaxing with a good book as the canal catches the last light, nothing left on the agenda but to enjoy the sunset from your favorite spot. At 17 Monroe Street, this is not a vacation fantasy... it’s Tuesday.

This canal-front residence has been thoughtfully updated to feel effortless with quiet consistency and a palette that stays steady coastal-refined. Vaulted ceilings and abundant natural light open the 1,500+ square foot interior, and wood-look LVP flooring runs throughout. The kitchen anchors the open living and dining space with white cabinetry, dark countertops, stainless appliances and a timeless shell/glass inspired tile backsplash; a room built as much for hosting as for everyday living.

Both bathrooms carry the same attention to detail, with walk-in tiled showers, frameless glass enclosures, updated vanities and gold-tone fixtures that add a warm, beach boutique polish. Four bedrooms offer the flexibility to host family, guests, or simply spread out.

The real luxury, though, is how the home extends outward. An expansive covered rear porch turns the canal into a backdrop for everything from quiet mornings to unhurried dinners, while the ground-level patio offers a second, more intimate retreat in the shade. Covered parking and dedicated storage keep the golf cart and water toys out of sight, yet always ready.

For those who measure a property by its amenities, this one delivers: direct water access, a private dock and boat lift open directly onto the canal, with an easy run out to the Intracoastal Waterway for a morning of fishing or an afternoon on the boat. The Monroe Street beach access, OIB Community Center, Ocean Isle Beach park, Museum, pier, island restaurants and shops are all just around the corner.

New siding, new decks, stairs, flooring, paint, dock, lift....everything has been done for you. Whether as a primary residence, a private coastal escape, or a distinguished addition to an investment portfolio, 17 Monroe Street offers a rare pairing on Ocean Isle Beach: understated luxury and true waterfront living, in one address.
