Discover the historical charm of this cottage, as it has a fascinating past tied to Fort Fisher's Civil War days. Originally part of the barracks built to house troops, this building found new life in the post-war era. In the 1940s, it was moved to its current location on Pleasure Island, and the front porch and rear section were added, creating the unique and inviting home you see today. Conveniently located a short distance from Kure Beach Pier, restaurants, and the Joe Eakes Park & Disc Golf Course, this bungalow offers both tranquility and easy access to local attractions. Additionally, it's just a 5-minute drive to the Fort Fisher Historic area, NC Aquarium, and the Ferry Terminal, making it an ideal home for those who appreciate history and coastal living. Don't miss the opportunity to own a piece of Pleasure Island's rich history - make the Beach Barracks Bungalow your coastal sanctuary today!
