Architectural Caliber and Price Positioning

Waterstone homes are built to a standard that distinguishes them immediately from conventional Wilmington subdivisions. Buyers find custom and semi-custom construction featuring low-country influenced facades, brick and Hardie exterior detailing, open-concept interiors with coffered ceilings, and chef-grade kitchen appointments. Homes in Waterstone typically list between $550,000 and $950,000, with select larger estates reaching above $1 million depending on lot position and finish level. Floor plans generally range from 2,800 to 5,200 square feet, with generous lot sizes averaging between 0.3 and 0.6 acres. The community was developed primarily in the 2000s and 2010s, giving buyers newer construction with mature landscaping and established streetscapes.

Premier Neighborhoods and Enclaves Within Waterstone

Within the broader Waterstone community, certain streets and sections command consistent premium positioning. Homes along Waterstone Drive and within the Summerhouse section of the development draw particular interest for their larger lots, enhanced privacy buffers, and proximity to community amenities. Buyers who prioritize separation from neighboring homes often focus on the back sections of the community where wooded rear yards create a greater sense of seclusion. Waterstone is part of the Ogden area of northern Wilmington, placing residents within minutes of the Market Street corridor and easy access to I-140.

Lifestyle and Amenities for Discerning Buyers

Waterstone residents enjoy access to community amenities that reflect the neighborhood's upper-tier positioning, including a resort-style pool and clubhouse facilities. The community's location places it roughly 15 minutes from Wrightsville Beach, one of the most sought-after coastal destinations in the Southeast, and within 10 minutes of Mayfaire Town Center, Wilmington's premier outdoor retail and dining destination. For buyers who value both privacy at home and access to coastal lifestyle, this combination is difficult to match at any comparable price point in the Wilmington market. Airlie Gardens, a landmark coastal estate garden, is a short drive south, adding to the cultural texture of daily life here.

Some homes are built. This one was envisioned. Designed from the ground up as a coastal landmark and named before a single shingle was laid, The Crow's Nest Cottage rose along the edge of the Intracoastal Waterway not as a house to live in, but as a life to step into. Recognized by Ideal Living Magazine as their 2017 Home of the Year, it is the only home in this community that carries that distinction. It's also the ONLY available home directly on the ICW in the neighborhood. If you have spent years building toward something and now find yourself ready to live in a home that reflects all of it, you have arrived at the right address. You have not settled. You have not compromised. You have simply stopped looking, because the home you described to yourself exists and it is here. You pass through the gated entrance of Summerhouse on Everett Bay and something shifts. The pace slows. By the time you pull onto the widened driveway and take in the silhouette against the Carolina sky, you already know this is not a showing. It is a homecoming. The main living level holds an open kitchen, dining, and living space anchored by a built-in fireplace, intimate by design, intentionally warm, and framed by views that pull your eye straight to the water. A main-floor guest suite with private bath means the people you love never feel like guests. Fresh paint throughout, top to bottom, inside and out. This home is not waiting to be made ready. It is ready. The kitchen was designed for someone who cooks with intention: GE Cafe double oven, pot filler, second island prep sink, soft-close cabinetry throughout. The primary suite was designed for someone who has earned unhurried mornings: tray ceilings with recessed lighting, walk-in tile shower with floor-to-ceiling tile, body jets and rain head, soaking tub, private water closet, and a large walk-in closet. Three full levels plus a fourth-level crow's nest with mini fridge. Elevator serviced April 2026. Climb to the widow's walk and the Intracoastal opens beneath you. The view that stops conversation, makes people put their phone down, and that you will never stop noticing no matter how long you live here. That is the point. Constructed to VE flood zone standards, the most stringent coastal classification available. Roof rejuvenated 2025 with new metal boots, sealed ridges, and a transferrable five-year roof seal guarantee; displaced shingles repaired at no cost. Three independent HVAC systems on active HCS service contract through year-end; third-floor unit includes built-in dehumidifier and an additional six inches of blown insulation across all attic spaces. Whole-home generator with full year of service paid, weekly self-diagnostics to Generator Superstore, and automatic dispatch for any issues. Two owned propane tanks convey. Right-side garage fully conditioned. Storm doors on the second and third levels; storm shutters on the crow's nest level; hurricane shutters on double doors. Ecobee smart thermostats with additional motion sensors. Exterior cameras convey. Fridge, washer, and dryer included. Option to purchase furnished. Summerhouse on Everett Bay amenities include resort pool with lazy river, clubhouse, fitness center, lighted tennis and pickleball courts, 18 miles of walking and biking trails, a boat ramp, dock and kayak launch on King's Creek, community day slips, dock, and kayak launch directly on the ICW. Topsail Island is just down the road. This is not a community that simply surrounds a body of water. It is a community built around a way of life, and this home, more than any other on the waterway, was purpose-built to anchor it. There is a version of your search that ends today. Not because you settled. Because the home you envisioned actually exists. The Crow's Nest Cottage is that home.
