You can't get more waterfront than this stunning condominium, located in the iconic JW Brooks Building on Wilmington's historic Riverwalk. The HOA just approved short-term rentals in the building, making it a hot investment opportunity.
From the large windows set into the exposed brick walls, you'll see the Cape Fear River sparkling below, and when you step out onto the wrought iron balcony, you'll enjoy a panoramic view of the river itself, the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge, and the battleship. (Note that the HOA maintains a private dock for the use of residents and their guests.)
The front room is a showpiece, with an open floor plan that's perfect for entertaining. The ceiling is lined with reclaimed wood, and there's a contemporary wood feature wall that extends along the staircase leading to the second floor, juxtaposing the old and the new. There are 3 bedrooms and 2 1/2 bathrooms, with the primary bathroom having been recently updated in spectacular fashion, including a soaking tub that looks directly onto the river.
You'll have to see the sunsets from this beautiful home to believe them!
