Description

The penthouse Topsail Island didn't know it was waiting for.There are few penthouse point units on the island and at Shipwatch Villas. This is it. Perched at the top of one of North Topsail Beach's most beloved oceanfront communities, Unit 1412 is a fully renovated coastal masterpiece that delivers what few spaces can ~soaring volume ceilings, skylights that flood the interior with natural light from above, and sweeping ocean and pool views that stretch to the horizon. Shipwatch Villas was expertly designed so that every unit captures some view ~ but the penthouse level captures all of it. The sky feels different up here. The light arrives differently. The renovated kitchen with new finishes, fully updated bathrooms, fresh paint throughout, and brand new flooring mean this unit doesn't just live at the top of the building ~ it looks the part in every single room.The open floor plan creates a seamless connection between the living, dining, and kitchen areas all anchored by natural light pouring in from both the oceanfront windows and the skylights overhead, a combination that makes this space feel closer to a custom beach home than a condominium. Ocean views from the living areas and primary suite. Pool views below. ICWW views from the guest room.The full coastal picture, framed by architecture that no lower unit can replicate. Community amenities include a private oceanfront pool with sundeck, direct beach boardwalk access, outdoor grilling and picnic areas, rinse-off shower station, on-site property management, pet-friendly policy. A cherished family retreat and part time second home and brought fully up to date ~this is the rare penthouse opportunity that arrives once. Move in ready, meticulously renovated, and unlike anything else currently available on Topsail Island. Contents convey. Rental projections available by request.
