What the owner loves about this home
I fell in love with this house the moment I saw it, nestled back off a private dirt road amongst old growth trees. Out here, you can actually see the stars at night and fall asleep to the sounds of nature -- instead of traffic. There's a kind of slow living this property makes possible: mornings on the porch, evenings by the fire pit, space to breathe. And yet you're never far from it all. A short drive gets you to the charm of historic Southport or the energy of downtown Wilmington whenever you want. This home has been a rare chance to live peacefully without giving anything up. Our family put a lot of love into this home, and I hope the next owner will be able to fully take advantage of everything it has to offer.
