Luxury feels different when the home is designed around you. Built by Carolina Mountains to Coast Homes, this exceptional new construction residence offers the rare chance to personalize selections, incorporate upgrades, and influence the final details before construction progresses. Located in Preservation Point, one of Wilmington's most exclusive gated waterfront communities, this four-bedroom home blends architectural presence, beautifully proportioned spaces, and refined coastal living. The main level welcomes you with 8-foot doors and 10-foot ceilings. A generous guest bedroom may also serve as a private office, library, or flex room. The kitchen makes an immediate impression with quartz countertops, a six-burner gas range, tiled backsplash, and a substantial island destined to become the natural gathering place of the home. An oversized butler's pantry extends the kitchen with custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, tiled backsplash, and floating shelves. Beautiful enough to remain on display and practical enough for serious entertaining, it offers abundant storage, preparation space, and a polished place for serving. The dining area is distinguished by custom built-ins, adding depth and character. In the living room, an expanded modern fireplace framed by custom built-ins creates a bold focal point with a clean, tailored finish. Double sliding doors open to a covered outdoor living area with a tongue-and-groove paneled ceiling, creating an effortless transition from indoors to out. An extended patio provides additional space for grilling, dining, relaxing, and entertaining amid the privacy of a nature-surrounded backyard. A spacious mudroom provides a well-organized entry from the garage, while generous storage throughout keeps everyday essentials neatly out of sight. Upstairs features 9-foot ceilings and an oversized loft or bonus room with a beverage station and refrigerator. Equally suited for movie nights, game days, or a private lounge, this second living space adds versatility. Each secondary bedroom is generously sized with a spacious closet, and every bedroom has access to a full bath. The upstairs laundry room includes cabinetry and a wash station. The grand primary suite is set apart as a private retreat, complete with its own covered balcony featuring a tongue-and-groove paneled ceiling. The primary bath offers a resort-like feel with quartz countertops, an extended double vanity, freestanding soaking tub, and oversized walk-in shower with dual showerheads. Ample closet space completes the suite. Quartz countertops continue throughout the home, from the kitchen and butler's pantry to every en suite and guest bath. Natural gas powers the range, fireplace, and tankless water heater, adding comfort, performance, and convenience. What makes this opportunity especially desirable is the timing. Buyers may still select interior and exterior finishes, add upgrades, and make thoughtful changes that give the home a more personal identity before construction moves forward. Preservation Point offers a lifestyle unlike any other in Wilmington. Set along the Cape Fear River, this gated waterfront community features a resort-style pool, clubhouse, fitness center, walking trails, pickleball court, kayak launch, putting green, dog park, and an almost seven-acre private island with marina facilities and opportunities for boat-slip ownership.

Life on the Cape Fear starts the moment the gate opens. Preservation Point is one of southeastern North Carolina's rare gated river communities -- and the lifestyle is the whole point. Spend your morning on the water from the community marina, where boat slips are available for separate purchase, your afternoon at the resort-style pool and clubhouse, and your evening on the community's private island, tucked along the Northeast Cape Fear River. This is coastal living the way it's supposed to feel. The home lives up to the setting. A 2025 Parade of Homes winner, this 4-bedroom, 4-bath, 3,018 sq ft residence sits on a quiet cul-de-sac court and earns every bit of its award. Inside, French oak floors run underfoot, Vermont marble countertops anchor a kitchen outfitted with professional-grade Thermador appliances and custom cabinetry, and a linear gas fireplace grounds the living space. Specialty trim and moldings, solid-core doors, and a striking ambrosia maple ceiling in the study reveal the level of craftsmanship throughout -- while spray foam insulation, a multi-zoned high-efficiency HVAC system, a tankless water heater, and Andersen windows mean the home is built as beautifully as it shows. Then there's the location, which is almost unfair: minutes to the restaurants, galleries, and riverwalk of Historic Downtown Wilmington, and roughly 15 minutes to the sand at Wrightsville Beach. River in the morning, city at night, ocean on the weekend -- all from one address. Award-winning construction, resort amenities, and a location this connected rarely meet at one address on the Cape Fear. Come experience Preservation Point for yourself.
