Start your morning with coffee overlooking the Intracoastal Waterway and watch for dolphins breaking the surface. Tucked just off Masonboro Sound Loop Road in Wilmington, NC, this waterfront home was built for days that move easily from the boat to the pool. Follow the shared walkway to your private Brazilian teak pier with two boat lifts, a jet ski lift, and a permit for a third boat lift. Spend the afternoon in the heated saltwater pool or soak in the hot tub as boats pass by. A poolside sink and mini fridge keep drinks and snacks close at hand, and LED pool lighting and two fire bowls set the scene after sunset. On cooler evenings, head up to the second-level outdoor wood-burning fireplace or settle in by the gas fireplace in the living room. Inside, an oversized quartz island gives everyone a place to pull up a seat while you cook. The kitchen features Fulgor Milano appliances, a nugget ice maker, a wine fridge, and a butler's pantry. One of my favorite surprises is the hidden door from the primary closet to the hallway. An elevator serves every floor, and the home also features tankless hot water, a reverse osmosis drinking water system, a whole-house generator, and solar power with Tesla Powerwall battery storage. Behind the gated entrance, three garage bays offer room for up to six cars, with a separate garage door for your golf cart and a poolside garage door that makes it easy to grab your water toys on the way out. Whether you're heading out on the Intracoastal or spending the afternoon by the pool, the best part is having it all right here at home.
