ON A TOWNHOME ON THIRD STREET

We don’t often feature townhomes on this list. In all honesty how can you call a home “one-of-a-kind” if the place next-door is virtually the same? While each individual unit may not differ much from one another, this entire development is unique. It’s called LaRue Townhomes. If you’ve driven down third street in the last year you’ve seen these going up. At the moment only one is on the market. The urban style townhome has 2 levels. The first floor has an open floor plan with the living room with finished concrete floors and quartz countertops.

LARGEST HOME IN NEW HANOVER COUNTY
100 South 3rd Street, Wilmington
The largest home for sale in the tri-county area is one you’ve probably already noticed. Maybe you’ve attended a wedding at the Greystone Inn or perhaps, even spent a night here. At the very least, maybe you’ve walked or driven by it. At 15,000 square feet the home is huge, but its appeal is also about its history. It was built at the turn of the last century for the daughter-in-law of the President of the Atlantic Coast Line Railway. No expense was spared with Indiana limestone exterior and white Italian Carrara marble in the entrance way. There are twelve bedrooms and twelve and a half baths. While the current owners have gone to great lengths to preserve the past, there are also modern conveniences, especially in the kitchen. From top to bottom, this home is filled with wow factors. Our favorites are the 14 foot Corinthian columns, the original brass wall sconces, and the grand staircase. A side note, since it has been operating as a B&B, notable guests have included Alan Alda, Dennis Hopper, Jay Leno and Tom Cruise. Asking price $2,250,000.For more information.

ON THE LARGEST HOME ON THE MARKET IN LANDFALL
1130 Pembroke Jones
If you’re one for celebrity name dropping, then you will like this fact: both Emeril Lagasse and Giada De Laurentiis have prepared meals in this home’s kitchen. You don’t have to be a celebrity chef to appreciate the Wolf six-burner gas cook-top, a Sub Zero Refrigerator and all the bells and whistles of a top of the line gourmet kitchen. The rest of the house is equally impressive. At 9,719 square feet, it is the third largest property currently on the market in New Hanover County. The house features five bedrooms and seven and a half baths spread out over four floors, with elevator service to each level. In our opinion, the best part is the incredible views of the Intracoastal Waterway, Wrightsville Beach and Figure Eight Island. The house is being sold with a 28′ boat slip on the ICWW. It also offers a three-car garage, a game room, home theater and 3,000 square feet of deck space. Asking price $2,800,000.For more information.
