A breathtaking waterfront sanctuary awaits on the iconic scenic edge of Harbor Island in Wrightsville Beach, offering unparalleled views, luxury coastal living, and direct water access. Meticulously maintained, this exceptional home features a private 30-foot boat slip, allowing you to set sail with ease and explore the sparkling waterways.
From the moment you arrive, you're greeted by spectacular unobstructed panoramic views of Motts Channel, with multiple expansive decks that invite you to soak in the salty breeze, vibrant sunsets, and front-row views of the annual Holiday Flotilla. Nestled in a peaceful No Wake Zone, this is the ideal launch point for swimming, kayaking, and paddleboarding—right from your backyard.
The main living level features floor-to-ceiling windows that frame stunning water views, while the dining area and modern kitchen offer an inviting setting for entertaining or relaxing in style. The kitchen boasts sleek finishes, abundant storage, and brand-new high-end appliances, including a Bosch refrigerator, oven, range, and Miele dishwasher. A whole-house Culligan water softener system ensures superior water quality throughout the home. Additionally, this level includes a private one-bedroom suite, providing a comfortable retreat for guests.
Upstairs, the third level is dedicated to the luxurious primary suite, complete with its own private waterfront balcony, spa-inspired bath with green marble features, and large walk-in closet. Two additional guest bedrooms on this level offer equally stunning views and comfortable accommodations.
Perched on the top floor is the fifth bedroom or a versatile flex space, ideal for a private home office, wellness studio, or media lounge—designed to adapt to your lifestyle. Step out onto the crow's nest balcony, where panoramic views stretch across the channel, providing a serene vantage point to watch coastal birds in flight and dolphins at play.
Additional highlights include a four-stop elevator,
