Set along the storied Cape Fear River in Wilmington's coveted Shipwatch community, this Mediterranean-inspired retreat captures the timeless beauty of coastal Carolina living. Every detail of this home is designed for ease, elegance, and a deep connection to the water. Step inside and you're welcomed by a sun-filled interior where sweeping river views steal the show. The open-concept living and dining areas flow effortlessly into the kitchen, creating a space that feels as natural for quiet mornings as it does for gatherings with friends. A central fireplace lends warmth and character, balancing the home's graceful architecture with everyday comfort. Beyond the doors, the lifestyle continues outdoors—where a private in-ground pool overlooks the river, and a shared pier with deeded boat slip invites you to spend evenings on the water, watching the sun melt into the horizon. Set on nearly three-quarters of an acre, this homesite sits on one of the highest elevations in Shipwatch, offering both beauty and peace of mind. Just minutes from Carolina Beach and downtown Wilmington, 8912 Shipwatch Drive offers a rare blend of refined design, riverfront serenity, and coastal convenience—a place where every sunset feels like coming home.

Positioned along the scenic Cape Fear River in Wilmington, this waterfront property offers a rare opportunity to secure expansive water views on almost an acre, a fully equipped semi private dock with boat and jet ski lifts, and the ability to elevate value--all within the sought-after gated community of Shipwatch. With 4 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, the home has been thoughtfully improved to maximize both functionality and flexibility. Recent updates include new kitchen countertops, full interior paint, new hardware and fixtures, new elevated storage room below, and new bedroom flooring, along with reconfigured living spaces--converting a former library into a fourth bedroom and transforming the laundry area into additional sleeping quarters--creating ample room for guests, extended family, or multi-generational living. Designed for those who prioritize lifestyle, the outdoor experience is where this property truly stands out. A new private walkway from the back deck leads directly to the dock, complete with a 10,000 lb boat lift and a finger pier with 5,000 lb jet ski lift, offering immediate, turnkey access to life on the water--an increasingly rare and valuable feature to be just a few minutes to Snows Cut Bridge and the intracoastal. Inside, the home offers generous living and entertaining spaces, with a layout ideal for gathering, relaxing, and taking full advantage of the surrounding natural beauty. While some cosmetic opportunities remain, this presents a compelling advantage for buyers looking to personalize the home and capture additional value--without taking on a full-scale renovation. This is more than just a home--it's a chance to create a custom waterfront retreat in a setting where the views, homesite, and boating infrastructure are already in place. Opportunities like this are becoming increasingly difficult to find at this price point.
