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.

Rare opportunity to own a brand-new, custom-crafted sound-front home in one of North Topsail Beach's most coveted communities -- Crystal Shores. 411 New River Inlet Road puts you at the intersection of everything Topsail Island has to offer: the Intracoastal Waterway at your back door, the Atlantic Ocean a short walk away, and a private community that gives you access to both. Currently under construction by Ballast Point Building Company, Inc., this 3,215 sq ft coastal home is built to a no-compromise specification on a generous .65-acre soundfront lot. The property features an existing pier with a CAMA permit in place for a boat lift and a second slip. Beyond your own private water access, Crystal Shores HOA provides an exclusive community dock with boat slips on the ICW and private beach access to the Atlantic Ocean -- making this one of the few properties on the island where you can walk to the ocean and pull your boat from your own backyard. Water and sewer service through ONWASA. This striking four-story design rises confidently on wrapped pilings, crowned by a cupola with 360-degree panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean, the ICW, and the sound simultaneously. Multi-level Trex composite decking wraps front and rear. Fiber cement board siding, a custom wood handrail system, and an Architectural Certified Landmark Pro shingle roof complete the exterior. An elevator reaches the main living areas for effortless access across all levels. Inside, 9-foot ceilings and LVP flooring set an open, airy tone throughout. The chef's kitchen anchors the main living level with WayPoint semi-custom cabinetry with soft-close drawers, solid surface countertops, a Z-LINE dual-fuel range with LP gas cooktop, full stainless Z-LINE appliance package, and an apron-front farm sink. Crown molding flows through all common areas and every bedroom. Red oak stair treads and 8-foot interior doors bring warmth and craftsmanship to every floor. The spacious master suite features a walk-in closet and a spa-caliber bath with a freestanding soaking tub, walk-in tile shower, furniture-piece vanity, and Delta fixtures. All secondary baths are finished to the same standard -- full tile showers, recessed lighting, and Kohler comfort-height commodes throughout. Open-cell spray foam insulation in the cupola, ground level, and band joists, plus R-15 batt insulation on the 1st and 2nd levels and soundproofing batt around the master suite. LP gas tankless water heater and WiFi smart thermostats keep the home efficient year-round. The electrical package includes an EV outlet, centrally located On-Q structured wiring panel, and TV rough-in locations in all bedrooms and living areas. Full landscape package, irrigation system, and a large rear yard ready for a future pool. Electrical already run to the pier for future expansion. 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, 1 half bath. Whether you are seeking a primary coastal residence, a high-performing vacation rental, or a legacy waterfront estate -- 411 New River Inlet Road is the complete Topsail Island package.
