About this home
Welcome to Preservation Point, a gated community where modern living, outstanding amenities, and a convenient Wilmington location come together. This three-bedroom, two-bath townhome offers a well-designed two-story floor plan, a private outdoor living area, and the added convenience of a one-car garage. The first floor is designed for gathering, with an open living room, dining area, and kitchen creating a comfortable central space for everyday living and entertaining. Just off the living room, the covered back porch and adjacent patio extend the living space outdoors and provide a great spot for relaxing, grilling, or spending time with friends. Upstairs, all three bedrooms are conveniently located together, creating separation between the home's entertaining and private spaces. The spacious owner's suite is filled with natural light from large twin windows and includes a private bath with double vanity and walk-in shower. Two additional bedrooms share a full bath with a tub and shower combination and a large single vanity. The laundry room is also located upstairs, right where you need it, with cabinets above for additional storage. The one-car garage is a feature not always found in similar townhome communities and provides secure parking along with additional space for bikes, beach gear, kayaks, or everyday storage. With the HOA handling most exterior maintenance and lawn care, there is more time to enjoy the home, the neighborhood, and everything Wilmington has to offer. Preservation Point offers an impressive collection of community amenities. The centrally located clubhouse area features a swimming pool, outdoor kitchen, fireplace, and fitness center. One of the neighborhood's most distinctive features is its seven-acre private island, reached by boardwalk and home to pickleball courts, a kayak launch, walking trails, and a dog park. Located just minutes from Historic Downtown Wilmington and Wilmington International Airport, Preservation Point also offers convenient access to Interstate 140 and Interstate 40, making it easy to reach destinations throughout the Wilmington area and beyond. With a modern floor plan, garage, low-maintenance lifestyle, exceptional amenities, and a location close to downtown, Preservation Point offers a great place to enjoy all that Wilmington living has to offer.
