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.

6 Cape Ln, North Topsail Beach
$4,900,000
8 Beds ⋅ 10 Baths
Spanning nearly 9,000 square feet across the 14th and 15th floors, this iconic two-story oceanfront penthouse is a massive, one-of-a-kind space that simply cannot be recreated along the NC Brunswick Beach coastline today. Due to strict municipal height regulations, a top-floor structure of this magnitude will probably never be built again. It stands alone as the highest vantage point from Southport down through Sunset Beach Island, commanding an unrivaled panorama. Because Ocean Isle is a rare, southern-facing barrier island, this extreme elevation grants an elite dual-aspect perspective. To the east, the views span over the ocean to the far east end of Ocean Isle Beach, while the western exposure captures the glittering expanse of the South Carolina Grand Strand--allowing you to witness completely unobstructed waterfront sunrises over the Atlantic, and spectacular sunsets over the marsh, the Intracoastal Waterway, and Jinks Creek. Massive floor-to-ceiling windows and multiple sets of glass doors span the exterior, framing these dramatic backdrops from nearly every internal vantage point and opening seamlessly to two full floors of expansive outdoor terraces. The layout delivers a dramatic sense of scale, beginning the moment you step into the two-story grand foyer. Anchored to the wall and winding seamlessly along the curvature of the room, a dramatic, open-riser circular staircase sweeps upward beneath a soaring modern chandelier. With a dual-level floor plan featuring a main kitchen on the lower floor and a secondary galley kitchen upstairs, the property offers a massive, high-capacity footprint that is perfectly configured for an exclusive private retreat or a premier, high-yield luxury vacation rental. Short-term rentals are fully permitted, and the property features three allocated parking spaces alongside a private Owner's closet in the lobby. Beyond the residence, ownership grants exclusive access to the gated amenities of Ocean Point. This includes a private boardwalk with direct beach access to the ocean, as well as a private, gated community dock positioned directly on the calm waters of Jinks Creek--offering the perfect launch point for kayaking, paddleboarding, crabbing, or simply taking in the coastal wildlife. The community also features indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a hot tub, a sauna, and an exercise room. This is a rare, top-of-the-world opportunity to acquire an asset that nobody else has, with the ultimate space and view as your canvas.
