Life on the Cape Fear starts the moment the gate opens. Preservation Point is one of southeastern North Carolina's rare gated river communities -- and the lifestyle is the whole point. Spend your morning on the water from the community marina, where boat slips are available for separate purchase, your afternoon at the resort-style pool and clubhouse, and your evening on the community's private island, tucked along the Northeast Cape Fear River. This is coastal living the way it's supposed to feel. The home lives up to the setting. A 2025 Parade of Homes winner, this 4-bedroom, 4-bath, 2975 sq ft residence sits on a quiet cul-de-sac court and earns every bit of its award. Inside, French oak floors run underfoot, Vermont marble countertops anchor a kitchen outfitted with professional-grade Thermador appliances and custom cabinetry, and a linear gas fireplace grounds the living space. Specialty trim and moldings, solid-core doors, and a striking ambrosia maple ceiling in the study reveal the level of craftsmanship throughout -- while spray foam insulation, a multi-zoned high-efficiency HVAC system, a tankless water heater, and Andersen windows mean the home is built as beautifully as it shows. Then there's the location, which is almost unfair: minutes to the restaurants, galleries, and riverwalk of Historic Downtown Wilmington, and roughly 15 minutes to the sand at Wrightsville Beach. River in the morning, city at night, ocean on the weekend -- all from one address. Award-winning construction, resort amenities, and a location this connected rarely meet at one address on the Cape Fear. Come experience Preservation Point for yourself.
