With endless, captivating views of Bradley Creek, Masonboro Island, Wrightsville Beach and the Intracoastal Waterway, plus a historic main home with wrap-around porches and a renovated guest house, this exceptional property is the opportunity of a lifetime. Located at the end of a private road on approximately 5.5 acres +/-, the property offers the potential to subdivide for residential development. Offering waterfront living on Bradley Creek, complete with deep water dockage and four boat slips, a gazebo and a covered boat house with a lift, the residence is truly a rare find. The unlimited investment potential is enhanced by the main home, which includes a first floor master suite, a unique eat-in kitchen with a brick fireplace, and a secure, private setting in an exclusive neighborhood—officially one of the Wilmington area's best kept secrets. Built in 1865 on a high bluff overlooking Bradley Creek, the main home offers all the features that make older properties a prized possession, such as hardwood floors, high ceilings, French doors and floor-to-ceiling windows. An upper level master bedroom suite with a retreat/office and a pool that is large enough for swimming laps add to the appeal. Beautifully renovated, the guest house offers a covered front porch, a family room with vaulted ceilings, two bedrooms and an updated bathroom. Open to the family room, the guest house kitchen has granite counters, a travertine backsplash and high-end stainless steel appliances. Added highlights include a circular driveway and brick porches, a carport and a wired workshop. Not surprising given the home's idyllic location and the fact that it is large enough to accommodate a helicopter landing, it has hosted weddings and many grand-scale events. Surrounded by mature hardwoods and located nearby everything Wilmington has to offer, this grand and secluded estate is the ultimate legacy property.
