About this home
Positioned within the coveted waterfront enclave of Masonboro Harbour, this exceptional Intracoastal Waterway residence offers a rare combination of premier waterfront positioning, a protected 32-foot deeded boatslip, and a distinguished history rarely found in today's market. Originally retained by the community's developer as their personal residence, the property occupies one of the neighborhood's most desirable homesites- carefully selected for its commanding water views, privacy, and direct connection to the boating lifestyle that defines coastal Wilmington. Designed as a true waterfront retreat, the home was thoughtfully crafted to maximize its extraordinary setting. Expansive walls of glass, five waterfront decks, and multiple indoor and outdoor gathering spaces frame sweeping Intracoastal vistas from nearly every room. Whether enjoying sunrise over the water, watching passing boats, or entertaining against a backdrop of ever-changing coastal scenery, the home offers an exceptional connection to its surroundings. Spanning five bedrooms and six-and-a-half baths, the residence comfortably accommodates family and guests alike. Each bedroom features an ensuite bath, including four private guest suites on the upper level- two of which enjoy direct waterfront exposure. The main-level primary suite serves as a luxurious private retreat, complete with a fireplace, waterfront porch, and serene views across the waterway. Recent renovations have elevated the home's timeless design, including a beautifully reimagined chef's kitchen, elegantly updated bathrooms, new decking and railings, and a hurricane-rated roof. Constructed with remarkable quality and craftsmanship, the residence offers a sense of solidity and privacy rarely experienced, creating a peaceful environment despite its generous scale. Additional features include a waterfront game room, dual garages, and a plumbed attic offering future expansion opportunities. Combining premier boating access, exceptional construction, and one of Masonboro Harbour's most significant waterfront settings, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a legacy property in one of Wilmington's most sought-after coastal communities.
