Property Description
Wake up each day to expansive views of your own wildlife habitat as well as an inviting connection to whatever nature awaits you outside. Tucked away in a serene hillside setting, yet just minutes from Wilmington's most centrally located urban amenities, this sprawling California contemporary on 2.09 acres offers the perfect blend of privacy, nature, and convenience. Built in 1982, this custom brick home is solidly constructed and thoughtfully designed to maximize natural light and seasonal comfort, w/ large windows, nine skylights, and a southeastern exposure that brings the outdoors in all year long.
The main level features over 2,300 square feet of open, light-filled living space and a total of 3,525 square feet. A vaulted formal living and dining area leads seamlessly to the family room and kitchen, where a cedar ceiling and wood-burning fireplace create a warm, inviting atmosphere. Three well-proportioned bedrooms, including a primary suite w/ a private deck and heated bathroom floor, provide comfortable accommodations. A dedicated office, two full baths, laundry room, and attached two-car garage complete the main level.
The walkout lower level offers an additional 1,500 square feet of versatile living space, complete with a newly installed kitchenette, two potential bedrooms, a third full bath, and access to a private patio with a pond and bog. This level is ideal for a guest or in-law suite. Energy-efficient features include a well-insulated brick exterior and dual-zone heat pumps for upper and lower levels. City water and sewer service for the home, while a private well provides water for the pond, gardens, and outdoor needs. A heated garden shed, also connected to well water, sits along a scenic wooded path.
A truly unique opportunity to own a thoughtfully designed home nestled in nature, just minutes from shopping, restaurants, and city conveniences.
