luxury apartments / penthouses with terrace for sale Ocean Isle Beach, United States

Spanning nearly 9,000 square feet across the 14th and 15th floors, this iconic two-story oceanfront penthouse is a massive, one-of-a-kind space that simply cannot be recreated along the NC Brunswick Beach coastline today. Due to strict municipal height regulations, a top-floor structure of this magnitude will probably never be built again. It stands alone as the highest vantage point from Southport down through Sunset Beach Island, commanding an unrivaled panorama. Because Ocean Isle is a rare, southern-facing barrier island, this extreme elevation grants an elite dual-aspect perspective. To the east, the views span over the ocean to the far east end of Ocean Isle Beach, while the western exposure captures the glittering expanse of the South Carolina Grand Strand--allowing you to witness completely unobstructed waterfront sunrises over the Atlantic, and spectacular sunsets over the marsh, the Intracoastal Waterway, and Jinks Creek. Massive floor-to-ceiling windows and multiple sets of glass doors span the exterior, framing these dramatic backdrops from nearly every internal vantage point and opening seamlessly to two full floors of expansive outdoor terraces. The layout delivers a dramatic sense of scale, beginning the moment you step into the two-story grand foyer. Anchored to the wall and winding seamlessly along the curvature of the room, a dramatic, open-riser circular staircase sweeps upward beneath a soaring modern chandelier. With a dual-level floor plan featuring a main kitchen on the lower floor and a secondary galley kitchen upstairs, the property offers a massive, high-capacity footprint that is perfectly configured for an exclusive private retreat or a premier, high-yield luxury vacation rental. Short-term rentals are fully permitted, and the property features three allocated parking spaces alongside a private Owner's closet in the lobby. Beyond the residence, ownership grants exclusive access to the gated amenities of Ocean Point. This includes a private boardwalk with direct beach access to the ocean, as well as a private, gated community dock positioned directly on the calm waters of Jinks Creek--offering the perfect launch point for kayaking, paddleboarding, crabbing, or simply taking in the coastal wildlife. The community also features indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a hot tub, a sauna, and an exercise room. This is a rare, top-of-the-world opportunity to acquire an asset that nobody else has, with the ultimate space and view as your canvas.
