Meet Wilmington NC REALTOR®

Michael Turnage

When I bought my first house over 15 years ago, I had no more of an idea at the end of the transaction how the purchase of a home worked than I did before I started. I was told to sign here, sign there, be here then, and go there on that day. Though the agent was nice, I was not very informed of what I was getting into. I am not that kind of Realtor.

I chose this profession to make sure everyone I work with knows as much about the process of buying or selling a home as possible and to be able to make the best decisions for their goals.

If you’re a first-time buyer, let’s discuss your goals and learn what the process is like. If you’re a seasoned buyer and seller, let’s discuss your goals and what laws or market changes may have occurred since your last transaction.

There is no substitute for knowledge-based decisions. I hope you’ll allow me to make your transaction as smooth as possible.

Some houses are designed around rooms. This one is designed around living well. Set on a private, beautifully landscaped property in sought-after Warlick Estates, this custom-built home has been completely remodeled from top to bottom, pairing the character and craftsmanship of an established home with the ease of one that has already been thoughtfully brought forward. Classic brick. Charming dormers. A broad front porch. Mature landscaping that has had time to become what new construction spends years trying to achieve. Inside, the transformation is immediately apparent. The interiors feel fresh and refined. Hardwood and luxury vinyl plank flooring move through the home, the kitchen and baths have been beautifully updated, and the mostly one-level layout makes everyday life remarkably easy. Three bedrooms are situated on the main floor, with additional bedroom upstairs. It is a house with room to spread out without requiring you to live on multiple levels. The kitchen sits naturally at the heart of things. Quartz surfaces, updated finishes, generous storage, and an easy connection to the surrounding living spaces make it equally suited to a quiet Tuesday night or a house full of people. Nothing feels overly formal. Nothing feels forgotten. The renovation has been approached as a whole rather than as a collection of unrelated updates. And then there is the backyard. Step outside and the property becomes something else entirely. A heated saltwater pool and cascading hot tub sit within an expansive travertine terrace, surrounded by mature landscaping that creates an unusual degree of privacy. There are places to swim, places to sit, places to eat, and places to disappear with a book for an afternoon. An outdoor kitchen makes dinner outside an easy decision. The masonry wood-burning fireplace gives the space a reason to stay open well beyond summer. A pergola, outdoor shower, heated screened porch and thoughtfully placed landscape lighting carry the experience from morning coffee through late evenings by the fire. It feels less like a backyard and more like a place you would normally pack a bag to visit. The detached poolside structure refuses to have just one job. The current owners have used it as a comfortable retreat, with climate control, a private bathroom and its own entrance. The next owner might see something entirely different: a quiet home office separated from the activity of the house, a yoga or fitness studio, a creative space, a private teen or young adult retreat, or simply somewhere to close the door for an hour. Its value is in the flexibility. There are practical details here, too--the things that rarely make the glamorous part of a listing but matter enormously once you actually live somewhere. A mostly one-level floor plan. A separate bonus space. A screened porch when the weather is perfect but the mosquitoes disagree. An outdoor shower after the pool. Space for a boat. Wired for a generator. No HOA dictating how the property should be enjoyed. And privacy. Real privacy. The mature trees and landscaping surrounding the property give the outdoor spaces a sense of separation that is increasingly difficult to find. You can have a house full of people around the pool and still feel removed from the world beyond it. That may ultimately be what distinguishes this home. It has been remodeled beautifully, certainly. But the more compelling story is how all of its pieces work together--the house, the pool, the detached retreat, the outdoor kitchen, the fireplace, the porches, the landscaping and the land itself. A home built for ordinary Tuesdays as much as summer Saturdays. When home feels this much like a destination, there is little reason to leave.

A newly added primary suite showcases exceptional design with a custom tile bathroom, designer vanity, and an expansive walk-in closet. The primary bedroom itself is a true retreat with high ceilings and serene views overlooking the creek. Located in the established tree lined Forest Hills area in the sought after Beaumont neighborhood is all the charm and privacy you have been waiting for. There is an adorable bridge over the spring fed creek that brings you even more land! It truly feels like a private nature preserve in your own back yard with a family of bad owls, blue birds, blue herons, wood ducks, deer, turtles, and crawdads.

This is a rare opportunity to own a fully renovated home with character, privacy, and elevated design in a truly special setting. You are just minutes from historic downtown, the hospital, 15 minutes from Wrightsville beach tucked into a private sought-after enclave. Please make sure buyers are pre-approved before showings.
