Incredible bespoke home right on the water. Unobstructed view of Figure Eight/Middle Sound over the Intracoastal Waterway on Middle Sound Loop in Wilmington NC. Amazing vistas over the Sound and ICW. Great birding site - herons, egrets, ospreys, kingfishers, oystercatchers, and seagulls. We often see dolphins up close, and fishermen adore our area!

Your own private dock with 24 hour deepwater access, plenty of water toys including kayak, stand-up paddleboard. Personal powerboat is available for a supplemental fee, and can be waiting at your private dock from our friends at close by Entropy Boat Units.

The home features a NEW 40 foot dock, which provides power outlet and filtered freshwater supply for boating convenience. We even provide crabpots for those inclined to catch Carolina blue crab and the occasional stone crab. Very good site for casting right off our dock. After the devastating hurricane of September 2018, we rebuilt the dock entirely with 316-grade stainless steel fasteners,fittings and cleats, all new pilings and decking, a 4-ft width aluminum ramp, and a 40x10 foot floating dock.

This well-apportioned, immaculate home is an Interior Designer's personal residence. The gorgeous east-facing master suite rewards the early riser with striking sunrise hues and sweeping vistas of Figure Eight inlet and the Intracoastal Waterway. The master suite has its own deck, and en suite private bathroom with a giant shower and coupled showerheads. Another upper level bedroom is also en suite with its own deck with constructed-in seating, while the third upper bedroom is also en suite. Each bedroom is customized but harmonious with the cheerful color scheme.

A full-width deck ensures a outstanding view from the entire main level, whose open floorplan accepts for simple entertaining. On the lower level, the full-width patio features Adirondack chairs and a hammock for appreciating the waterfront vista, as well as an outdoor grille to broil your fresh catch to perfection.

Privacy and luxury abound at "Maison Blanc", furnished in harmonious colors, enhanced by striking original sailing photographs, and by vintage Art Deco travel and sporting posters. Contactless check-in and enhanced cleaning are standard, for your tranquility of mind. We appreciate our home, and invite you to see why!
