Property Description

Original 1895 construction known to be one of the only remaining original historic homes from the time period on Wilmington Island Road with 200 feet of Deepwater on the Wilmington River. The majestic detail of the home explains the history from room to room. The swimming pool looking out high on the bluff demonstrates how the property was a first for prime development during the time. The elevation and dynamic 2 acres of high ground support the 6400 plus sq ft. 6 bed 5 bath three story masterful home; the start of the Wilmington River Estate Homes. The main level provides the Chef’s kitchen, island, prep triangle, Pro-Series Range, twin Subzero side by sides, twin dishwashers, and butlers pantry. The space flows to the formal dining, den, and living room. The outdoor living space is cozy and provides panoramic views from sunset to sunrise. The main bedroom en-suite is equipped with his and her bathrooms, an owners office, and an ample spa style main bathroom space. The floor below is an extraordinary benefit with an additional amount of space in an area where 3rd levels are rare providing the 5th and 6th bedrooms and bathrooms allowing provisions for exceptional accommodations. The two story guest house is an entertainment zone all on its own with more space that most. The dock house, boat lift, and mooring areas are the grand finale of perfection for everything sought after in water front homes on The Wilmington River where you can ski, fish, swim right from the dock.
