Located in the sought-after waterfront community of Dolphin Bay in Wilmington NC, just minutes from Carolina Beach, this custom-built coastal home with PRIVATE 25-foot BOAT SLIP sits in a serene wooded setting on a quiet cul-de-sac, offering privacy and a natural coastal backdrop.
Dolphin Bay residents enjoy direct Intracoastal Waterway access, a private community beach, clubhouse, swimming pool, pier with gazebo, and fish cleaning station, creating the perfect setting for boating, fishing, paddleboarding, and embracing the coastal and boater's lifestyle the Wilmington and Carolina Beach area is known for.
Inside, the 4 bedroom, 3.5 bath home features a bright, welcoming layout with abundant natural light. The main level offers high ceilings throughout, with soaring ceilings in the living room that create an open and spacious feel. The primary suite is conveniently located on the first floor with space for dual walk-in closets. New white oak hardwood floors on the main level add warmth and character while complementing the home's coastal design. Pocket doors and thoughtful architectural details add flexibility and charm throughout.
The kitchen renovation has been thoughtfully started, offering a fantastic opportunity for the next owner to complete the space. Major upgrades are already in place, including custom cabinetry, beautiful quartzite countertops, and a farmhouse sink.
Just off the back deck, a quiet office nook creates the perfect work-from-home space or reading retreat, adding flexibility for today's lifestyle.
With its private boat slip, Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) boating access, waterfront community amenities, wooded cul-de-sac setting, and improvements already underway, this property presents a unique opportunity to create a personalized coastal retreat while enjoying the boater's lifestyle and coastal living.
