Nestled on the serene, private north end of Carova Beach, this stunning sixth-row cottage offers a rare opportunity to own a meticulously maintained home that has served exclusively as a private getaway and has never been rented. Completed in 2018 and situated in the highly coveted X flood zone, this property combines the peace of mind of high-elevation living with the rustic charm of the 4x4 lifestyle. The ground level features a brand-new, climate-controlled enclosed garage and workshop, providing a versatile space with its own dedicated HVAC system—perfect for storing ATVs and beach vehicles or serving as a spacious recreation room. The main level welcomes you with an open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area designed for both comfort and style. The kitchen is a standout, boasting elegant granite countertops, a custom wood-top bar, stainless steel appliances, and trendy open shelving. Throughout the living area, industrial hardware accents and a unique pallet-lap accent wall create a modern coastal-industrial aesthetic. Large sliders lead out to a screened porch and a private sun deck, offering seamless indoor-outdoor flow for enjoying the ocean breezes. On the upper level, you will find a thoughtfully designed layout featuring two guest bedrooms with a shared full bath, a convenient laundry area, and a bright, spacious primary ensuite. This primary suite is flooded with natural light and includes its own private deck for quiet morning coffee. Sold turnkey and fully furnished, and backed by a recent pre-listing home inspection, this home is in exceptional condition. Whether you are looking for a pristine second home or a high-potential vacation rental with easy beach access, this Carova gem is ready for its next chapter.
