Morning on the back porch is the reason to be here. The Intracoastal lies still and gold at first light, a boat easing down the channel, and across the water the far bank stands thick with trees and low green growth, wild and unbroken by rooftops. Along the eastern edge of the property lies the town's Veterans Park, an open buffer that keeps this stretch quiet and uncrowded. The water is the whole point. A PRIVATE PIER AND BOAT LIFT reach into the Intracoastal off the back lawn, so the boat is always ready and the day starts whenever you decide it does. Drop a line, run crab traps off the dock, or point the bow toward Southport and tie up for lunch at Provision Company or Fishy Fishy, then drift home as the light softens and the day winds down. When the mood turns toward sand instead of saltwater, the Oak Island strand is a few minutes away by car or cart. Inside, a vaulted great room, dining space, and kitchen open to one another and hold the water in view from nearly every seat. Wide-plank hardwood runs underfoot. The kitchen is dressed in gray shaker cabinetry, quartz counters, and a glass mosaic backsplash in coastal blues, with a full stainless suite and a window over the sink that frames the waterway while you cook. The primary suite carries a tray ceiling and its own French doors to the covered porch, and its bath invites you to slow down, with a freestanding soaking tub beneath the window, a tiled glass walk-in shower, a double vanity, and a private water closet. Two more vaulted bedrooms and a second full bath give everyone room to land. A cargo lift moves gear between levels with ease. Below, a workshop and enclosed storage swallow every rod, cooler, and trap, and a covered patio runs the length of the home for shade and salt air. Palms and mature landscaping frame it all; the boat waits on the lift, and the tide keeps the only schedule that matters here.

Where SE 22nd Street meets The Davis Canal, beneath a canopy of maritime oaks that wrap you in quiet, 108 SE 22nd Street has something harder to find than square footage: genuine peace. The trees, the stillness. It feels different from the moment you turn off Oak Island Drive. This is the kind of neighborhood where the pace slows down and stays that way. Also bringing peace are the NEW FORTIFIED ROOF, which was installed in April 2026, and the NEW WATER HEATER, which was installed in May 2026. The HVAC system was replaced in 2020. No flood zone designation. An APEC reverse osmosis system delivering pure, crisp, clean water on demand. An irrigation system running on a well. This home has been cared for with intention, and you will feel that the moment you arrive. Step inside, and the vaulted ceilings immediately open up the space. The home surprises you, feeling larger and lighter than you expected, with sunlight pouring in on an open plan flowing from the living room through the dining area into a kitchen with granite countertops, white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, including a one-year-old LG dishwasher, and updated LVP flooring that runs clean and coastal underfoot. The primary suite sits on the main level with a generous walk-in closet and a well-appointed full bath. Two additional bedrooms handle guests, family, or whatever the next season of life requires. Outside is where this home finds its voice. The screened porch wraps around the side of the home, away from the road, putting you in the treetops with the breeze and without the noise. The covered front deck is sized for rocking chairs, coffee, and unhurried mornings. Below, the covered under-house offers generous space for beach gear, golf cart parking, kayaks, and the comfortable clutter of island life. The backyard is fully enclosed by a six-foot wood privacy fence, kept effortlessly green by the well-fed irrigation system, and sized to accommodate a future pool. An outdoor shower and a large storage room complete the ground-level picture. The beach walkover on SE 20th Street is three blocks away. The Davis Canal is at the foot of the street. The pier, dining, and the recreation center are all an easy golf cart or bike ride from the driveway. Updated, protected, and ready for its next chapter.
