Wilmington's Intracoastal Waterway just received a stunning new resident.

The multi-million dollar property sold in a record-breaking five days, a testament to the home's bold design choices and undeniable appeal. Step inside and discover a space that pushes boundaries and sets a new standard for waterfront living.
Black & Emerald Symphony
From the first step inside, the home announces its bold personality. A custom-designed floor-to-ceiling black tile entryway wall immediately captivates the eye. This deliberate play on light and dark amplifies the vibrancy of the blue water shimmering in the distance.
Rounding the corner gives way to another dramatic transformation. Expansive water views come into focus, complemented by vibrant emerald green kitchen cabinets. A daring yet sophisticated choice, the color adds a touch of unexpected personality without overwhelming the calming effect of the water beyond.
Strategic furniture choices further emphasizes the connection to the outdoors. "Lower profile furniture allows the uninterrupted views to take center stage," Alexis explains. Larger-than-life abstracts complement the home’s daring personality, while carefully selected teak furniture brings the outdoors in. "The goal was to create a space that is both visually stunning and incredibly relaxing," Alexis says.
