The views are what truly set this property apart--wide, unobstructed water views of Lea Island and the Intracoastal Waterway create the perfect backdrop for everyday living, from quiet mornings to unforgettable sunsets. Perfectly positioned on the water, this property offers not just one, but three private boat slips--giving you direct access to the Intracoastal Waterway and endless days on the water. For those who love life on the water, it doesn't get much better. Whether it's a quick cruise, a day of fishing, or heading out to your favorite waterfront spots, you can be on the water in minutes. Boat ramp access is also available at the neighboring Forest Sound Marina, adding even more convenience for boating and coastal exploration. Every detail has been thoughtfully designed to maximize comfort, style, and those incredible water views. Inside, the home has been meticulously reimagined with a focus on quality, style, and livability, featuring light-filled interiors, open-concept gathering spaces, and a dedicated home office. Elevated finishes throughout create a seamless blend of modern sophistication and timeless design. The kitchen is a standout--ideal for gathering with friends and family, whether it's a casual weekend or a full house for the holidays. The primary suite offers plenty of space and comfort, with a spa-inspired bathroom featuring a walk-in shower, dual vanities, custom cabinetry, and a beautiful stained glass window. Two additional bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms and an additional den and flex room add comfort and convenience. The expansive garage has fresh epoxy flooring, half-bath, workshop space, boat storage, and room for golf carts, fishing gear, and outdoor equipment. This isn't just a garage, it's a wow factor. Outdoor living spaces are just as impressive as the interior, featuring a large waterfront deck, covered patio areas, and a firepit along the seawall. Whether coming in from the boat, grilling with friends, or spending the evening by the water, the layout allows for an easy flow between the dock, outdoor living areas, and main living spaces. The home also includes thoughtful infrastructure and system upgrades including generator setup, hurricane shutters and window protection, updated exterior doors, central vacuum, whole house sound system, elevator shaft servicing multiple levels, and irrigation system, providing comfort and peace of mind for waterfront living. Located just north of Wilmington with convenient access to open water, waterfront dining, marinas, and Topsail Island or Wrightsville Beach by boat, this location makes it easy to spend the day on the water without ever getting in the car. Whether heading offshore, cruising the Intracoastal, or taking the boat to dinner, this is a home where boating is not a weekend activity but part of everyday life.
