Enjoy water access to Whiskey Creek, nearly half an acre of privacy, and a prime location in Wilmington's sought-after Masonboro area. This updated home sits on a spacious .49-acre cul-de-sac lot in the peaceful Creek at Willowick neighborhood and backs up to scenic Whiskey Creek, a tidal waterway that leads to the Intracoastal. With the option to add a private path, you can launch a kayak or canoe right from your backyard. Trails End Park, with a public boat ramp, is just 2.5 miles away. Inside, you'll find 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, a loft, and a flexible bonus room upstairs—ideal for an office, studio, or easily convertible to a 5th bedroom with a walk-in closet. The formal dining room with French doors has been repurposed to open up the main living area, while the spacious primary suite on the main floor features a tray ceiling and tile shower. Recent updates include new stainless steel appliances, laminate wood flooring throughout (including stairs), tile floors in all baths, granite countertops and backsplash, soft-close cabinetry, recessed lighting, upgraded fans and fixtures, dual-zone thermostats, and extra storage under the stairs. The garage is finished with shelving, mesh gutters, and a quiet opener with remotes. Enjoy 9-foot ceilings, a covered front porch, and a peaceful back patio overlooking the wooded preserve. Views of nature can be enjoyed from every bedroom. The neighborhood offers sidewalks, mature trees, and a direct connection to the paved Masonboro Loop Trail—perfect for biking, walking, and running. This home blends space, privacy, and lifestyle in one of Wilmington's most desirable areas.
