Southern elegance and charm await the new owner of this incredible home located in Corbett Place at Airlie with private deeded boat slips. Nestled among the historical live oaks, this gem offers sprawling porches that flank the home. The rear porches face the southwest for evenings enjoying sunsets on Bradley Creek. Step back in time along the banks of the creek and imagine a time in Airlie Gardens when things were much slower paced. This property was once part of the magical gardens that now draw people from all over the world. Gifted to family members to continue personal ownership, this small community creates the feel of richly appointed gardens and coastal life uniquely combined, only here in the port city of Wilmington.

Expansive views of the live oaks and the waterway meet your eyes immediately as you walk into the home. French doors across the rear create views from every angle of the yard and waterway. This home offers an open concept with high ceilings and arches that lift your eyes to the light entering through the windows at the second floor. The kitchen offers spaciousness to host a few friends or a huge family gathering with elongated bar wrapping around the kitchen and a place for beverage service. Breakfast nook can handle a fully sized dining table for more intimate dining. A formal dining room is located just to the right of the entrance for more sophisticated entertaining. The master suite is on the first level, with doors that open to the large porch. Ample room in the master bath with a large tiled shower and double vanities. Enjoy your time in the WC with views to the creek as well. Master closet opens to the hall to allow ease with laundry room access.
Upstairs two large bedrooms with en-suites will ensure your guests have their privacy and the attached private balconies will offer your gues their own taste of Airlie and the luxurious feel of living among the live oaks.
