Situated on a private half-acre cul-de-sac lot in the highly desirable Greenville Loop area, this stately Southern Colonial offers timeless architecture, exceptional curb appeal, and a setting that is increasingly difficult to find. Turtle Hall, one of Wilmington’s most established and distinctive communities, is known for its mature tree-lined streets, spacious homesites, and peaceful atmosphere that reflects the charm of old Wilmington while remaining just minutes from Wrightsville Beach, shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences.
An oversized driveway provides the perfect space for basketball or other games, creating a welcoming extension of the home for family gatherings and outdoor activity. Beyond the main drive, a separate open area offers exceptional versatility–ideal for boat or recreational vehicle storage, or presenting exciting possibilities for a future detached garage, workshop, or accessory dwelling unit (ADU).

Inside, you’ll find a welcoming marble-tiled foyer that immediately sets the tone for the home’s classic elegance. The foyer is flanked by a formal dining room and an expansive great room featuring a wood-burning fireplace, custom built-ins, and abundant space for both entertaining and everyday living. A sunroom, with wood plank ceilings, extends from the great room, creating the perfect spot for morning coffee.
