Property Description

Looking for a slice of paradise in Wilmington, NC with access to deep-water boating on the Intracoastal Waterway? The boating lifestyle can be yours with deeded water rights to the Towles Road Boat Ramp Association, one of the best and most sought-after private boat ramps with a floating day dock in Wilmington, NC for a cost of $200 PER YEAR! There's also a potential to purchase or rent a boatslip in the private marina at the end of Towles Rd (not included with this home). Located in the coveted Greenville Sound area on the ICWW, the boat ramp is just a 5-minute boat ride to Masonboro Inlet and the Atlantic Ocean for a day of fishing. Tired of dealing with traffic and parking woes on Wrightsville Beach? Escape the crowds and traffic and travel 5 minutes by boat to scenic Masonboro Island, a 14-mile natural barrier island, and anchor on the shore to enjoy the white sandy beaches and clear-blue ocean waters. Or, take a short jaunt and dine at the waterfront restaurants near the Wrightsville Beach drawbridge, just 5 minutes away. Never before on the market, this traditional 3 BR, 3 bath brick ranch can be yours to re-envision or build anew on a fabulous, almost half-acre, lot that will provide potential Intracoastal Waterway and marsh views in an elevated 2 or 3-story home. The existing home, built in 1976, features a covered front porch which opens to a large great room with a gas-log fireplace and cobblestone-hearth that once embraced the historic streets of Wilmington. Sliding glass doors lead to the large rear yard. The adjacent eat-in-kitchen features wood cabinets, white appliances and a pantry. The primary suite has garden views and an ensuite bathroom with a tub/shower, double vanities and walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms share a fully tiled bathroom with a tub/shower. Other features include a laundry room, a 2-car attached garage with a work bench, a retractable awning for shade and a long driveway that can accommodate a boat on a trailer and guest parking. Situated on .46 acres the grounds include exceptionally mature landscaping, majestic oak trees and beautiful lawns in the front and rear irrigated with water from an irrigation well for low-cost irrigation. Towles Road is a highly desirable coastal community offering unspoiled and natural vistas that include tidal ponds, marshes and walking trails to neighboring communities. Take a stroll down the pedestrian-friendly road to the boat ramp and you'll likely encounter a heron, osprey, hawk, turtle or some fiddler crabs in their coastal habitat. This home is ideally situated in close proximity to first class stores and restaurants at Mayfaire, a short drive to Wrightsville Beach and in the coveted Hoggard school district. The home is not in an HOA. Contact the listing agent for more info about the potential to buy or rent a boat slip on Towles Rd (not included with the home).
