Island Retreat in Wilmington, N.C.
Large covered porches look over a 150-foot bulk headed lot, professionally landscaped yard and private 60-foot pier with boat lifts.
Porch and View
On rainy days, sit under the covered portion of the porch. On clear ones, drink in the view from under wide open skies.
Sunroom
On the home's third floor sits a charming sunroom with panoramic ocean views, a vaulted ceiling and a cozy sitting area.
Spiral Staircase
Climb the spiral staircase in the blue-and-white great room and it's as though you were going up, up, into the clouds. The vaulted ceiling adds to the space's ethereal, airy feel.
Kitchen
The open-plan gourmet kitchen offers a large island with plenty of barstool seating and tons of cabinet storage. Beautiful hardwood floors bring warmth and a cozy feel to the space.
Kitchen
A stunning marble countertop stretches across the huge island in the gourmet kitchen which includes top-of-the-line appliances and, of course, that amazing water view.
View at Kitchen Sink
You won't mind doing dishes a bit when you get to drink in this view.
Great Room
From the kitchen, look out into the great room's sitting and dining areas. The spiral staircase leads up to the lovely third-floor sunroom that features spectacular 360-degree views.
Dining Area
The great room includes a dining area, fireplace and wraparound views of the water. Beautiful hardwood floors reflect the natural light pouring in through the many windows.
Living Room
Jewel-toned furniture brings richness and vitality to the living room where the neutral walls and carpet serve as the perfect muted backdrop. Large windows wrap around the seating area and sliding glass doors wait to welcome occupants out the picturesque deck.
Bedroom
A stately four-poster bed holds court in this bedroom, one of five in the home. The tropical blue-and-coral bed linen makes a vibrant splash in the neutral space.
Bathtub and Shower
White marble encases the luxurious soaking tub and walk-in shower in the master bathroom while white beadboard adds cottage charm behind handy hooks along the wall.
Bathroom
In this bathroom (one of four in the home), a blue-and-white palette evokes a crisp, fresh feel. The double vanity with chic floating sinks makes sure there's plenty of room for everyone.
Sitting Room
A cozy sitting room is created here with pale red and blue furnishings gathered around a white coffee table. The artwork nods to the home's waterfront setting.
Porch
Welcome the day or send it off in style from the home's covered porch that features incredible views of the southernmost peninsula of North Carolina's Figure Eight Island.
Dock
Pull up your boat to the dock after a day on the water. The home offers private water rights.
