Tucked along a quiet, oak-canopied street on Harbor Island, this one-owner home at 505 N Channel Drive offers a rare blend of quality construction, coastal charm, and an unbeatable Wrightsville Beach location. With 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, the home features a spacious, light-filled layout including an open living room, generous dining area, and a well-appointed kitchen designed for both everyday living and entertaining.
Built for durability and peace of mind, the elevated construction showcases exceptional craftsmanship. The structure is supported by substantial 8x8 pilings driven 10 feet below grade and spaced 6'3'' on center, complemented by a solid 4''x12'' girder system and reinforced with metal bracing extending 8 feet up the exterior walls. All erected by Marine contractor Richard Sheppard. Electrical wiring is configured as dedicated home runs with no junction boxes, further reflecting the home's thoughtful, high-quality build.
Interior highlights include closets with cedar wainscotting, a convenient foul-weather entry from the ground level leading to a laundry area and interior staircase, and well-proportioned living spaces throughout. Major updates include a hand-nailed roof (2019), new HVAC system, and all new ductwork (2020).
Outdoor living is equally impressive with an expansive elevated and covered front porch, perfect for relaxing under the coastal breeze, and a rear covered and screened porch off the master suite offering a quiet, relaxing setting and overlooking serene Harbor Island marsh.
Enjoy public access to Banks Channel just across the street, along with quick access to the beach, The Loop, Wrightsville Beach Park, and local dining. This family-friendly, low-traffic neighborhood offers a true sense of community while remaining just minutes from all that Wilmington has to offer. A rare opportunity to own a meticulously built coastal retreat in one of the island's most desirable settings.
