Framed by moss draped centuries old live oaks, this custom built residence by Wilmington's masterpiece builder, Fred Murray, sits on a high bluff lot overlooking the intracoastal waterway and Wrightsville Beach. Great Oaks Drive is one of Landfall's premier addresses as it overlooks the cherished four acre manicured Temple Garden Park by the Lincoln Memorial designer, Henry Bacon with a the stone gazebo, dating back to the 1800's by John Russell Pope, the designer of the Thomas Jefferson Memorial.
The 5500 square foot masterpiece includes large formal space with high ceilings and detailed moldings, including hand-hewn beams. The antique brick exterior and Mansard roof reflect a European flair. The main house includes four fireplaces and an elevator, four bedrooms, four full baths and two half baths.
An extensive master suite is found on the second floor overlooking the waterway with a private covered porch, his and hers updated baths, his and hers walk-in closets and an adjacent study. The current owner added a magnificent pool and cabana with fireplace, bath, hot tub, waterfall and outdoor kitchen.
Enjoy the spectacular .83 acre lot (well above the flood zone) with great privacy and loads of outdoor living options.
When only the best will do!
