The first home to be selected as a Special Listing has to be exceptional because it sets the standards of what buyers should expect in this category. Very few homes that I have seen could score so high in the following categories: neighborhood, curb appeal, view(s), landscape, siting, floor plan, scale, quality of finishes and appliances.

As you approach this Masons Point home, you will soon forget that you are in Wilmington and feel as though you have arrived in the South of France. It is a dramatic, yet comfortable home offering the best of all worlds with exceptional views of Landfall's Nicklaus course, Howe Creek, the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean!

The wide open (easy to maintain) motor court is for guests while family uses the less formal rear entrance to the 2-car garage and additional parking beneath the porch. The inviting arched entry is recessed and protected beneath one of the five balconies.

You enter the Foyer (10' x 15') through the custom-made cypress front door. The Venetian stucco finish in this space and the living room is made with a marble dust paste and hand applied for a dazzling effect. An exquisite half Bath off the foyer is decorated with beautiful tile and a lovely corner glass display area. The formal Living Room (21' x 15') features solid wood beams and a woodburning fireplace (with gas starter for easy conversion). French doors lead to a large balcony. The delightful formal Dining Room (15' x 14') provides an exceptional view of the waterway and ocean beyond.

The Family Room/Kitchen (25' x 24') is a gourmet's delight and the true hub of family activity. The large island is finished with colorful Mexican tile, a prep sink, marble insert for baking, and an informal seating area will make any chef happy. A Viking professional gas range with self-cleaning convection oven, top of the line Amana refrigerator, Bosch silent dishwasher, country sink, disposal, and custom cabinets with full pull-out drawers complete the picture. The Family Room features a European style raised-hearth fireplace with matching Mexican tile, space for a built-in large screen TV, and a built-in entertainment center with surround sound system. The large Laundry Room, convenient to the kitchen contains a soaking sink, lots of counter, cabinet and storage space with room for ironing.

On the opposite side of the house is the First Floor Bedroom (14' x 13') that has a built-in bureau wired for TV and microwave. The walls feature a special technique of Italian stucco done by hand with paint and buffed to resemble old plaster. The private bath is decorated with Italian tile. This bedroom is perfect for guests or an ill family member. By the way, there is an elevator shaft that could possibly service all three levels.

The Second Floor Master (21' x 15') is a relaxing haven with its own private balcony overlooking the water. The Master Bath contains a double Jacuzzi, his and hers vanities, bidet, and an enormous walk-in closet. The second level also provides two sitting areas, two bedrooms with connecting bath and a large cedar closet. The Rear Sitting Area (14' x 12') is a delightful retreat, perfect for reading, conversation, contemplating the view, or watching satellite TV.

The all-brick exterior is sealed and painted with three coats of elastomeric paint. The roof is tile, and real working shutters make storm preparation relatively easy.
