Experience waterfront luxury behind the gates of Shipwatch Village with this stunning 4-bedroom, 5-bath home that embodies true southern hospitality. Nestled down a private, oak-canopied driveway, the property welcomes you with a charming rocking chair front porch and striking double arched wood doors. Inside, gleaming hardwoods lead you through a gracious foyer to a formal dining room and a spacious office with built-ins and French doors. Breathtaking panoramic water views unfold as you enter the living room featuring a gas log fireplace, built-ins, and a wall of glass doors opening to a screened porch where you can enjoy spectacular sunsets. The large kitchen boasts stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry, granite counters, a coffee bar, and a pantry, with the breakfast room offering serene water views. The main-level master suite provides a luxurious retreat with a tile shower, double vanities, and a garden tub, while a second master suite upstairs includes a large study—both featuring picturesque water views. Two additional bedrooms share a Jack and Jill bath, and the ground floor offers a family room with a wet bar, a versatile bonus space, and a custom sauna and a steam room for post-workout relaxation. Step outside to your private dock and boat lift, or unwind on the covered back patio watching ships sail along the Cape Fear River. A 3-car garage, workshop, Whole House generator, and ample storage complete this impressive package. Don't miss the chance to own this incredible custom home—a true showstopper!
