Coastal elegance at its finest! Let this dream home be your gathering place of family and friends, for a lifetime of memories, serenity, and endless pleasures. Discover this extraordinary nearly A¾ acre waterfront retreat designed by Wilmington's acclaimed architect Haywood Newkirk Sr. Set privately along the Intercoastal Waterway, this home embodies luxury and modern Southern Charm in a perfect salt life setting. Approaching the home, a tranquil array of mature oaks, stone walls and elegant landscape envelopes you. Once inside, the open floor plan of shiplap accents, re-stained floors, updated lighting, and expansive windows creates a seamless flow of natural light and stunning water views. The custom living room has sky lights, built-in speakers, and bespoke millwork adding unique character complementing the home's sophisticated design. In the heart of the home, a gourmet kitchen outfitted with stainless steel appliances, plentiful cabinetry, and the spacious island with seating for six is ideal for gatherings. Decorative glass shelving and tasteful lighting merge style and functionality.
The upper level has a luxurious primary suite with soothing water views, custom closets, spa-like bathroom, and three bedrooms offering flexible usage. The large lower-level family room features a queen murphy bed, easily transforming it into a comfortable guest bedroom and bonus room. It also allows for a walkout to your own private area for star gazing and relaxation. A new composite deck, tiled bottom patio, and outdoor shower embraces coastal ambiance. The grounds and landscape are intentionally designed to preserve the natural beauty and the property's peacefulness. Within the boating community dock you have the largest slip well over 30 feet, a 10K pound lift, room for jet skis, new dock to be completed by May 31 and convenient direct access to the Waterway.
Experience coastal living as it's meant to be, in a setting as remarkable and rare as the lifestyle it offers!
