luxury houses with sea view for sale Carteret County, United States

Positioned ocean-side of Emerald Drive in one of Emerald Isle's most convenient residential pockets, 127 Eastview Drive offers a rare combination of walkability, ownership continuity, and future flexibility. The beach is an easy four-minute walk, with slight ocean visibility from the upper balcony, and immediate proximity to the Bogue Inlet Pier, Welcome Center, and central island amenities. Built in 2017 by its original owner and held under continuous ownership, the home reflects thoughtful siting and a functional, well-considered floor plan designed for comfortable coastal living. Located outside of a flood zone and having never flooded, the property presents a lower-friction ownership profile relative to many nearby homes. The residence balances elevated livability with clear opportunity for enhancement. A large upper-level bonus room—fully finished and equipped with plumbing, water, and electrical—offers further flexibility for future reconfiguration. The first floor includes a private apartment or in-law suite, providing separation and adaptability for guests, extended family, or rental use. Zoning may allow for commercial designation, subject to verification, adding an additional layer of optionality for qualified buyers. Rental use has been limited by owner choice rather than restriction, making the property well suited for a second-home purchaser or investor seeking location, versatility, and long-term value in a supply-constrained coastal market.
