2545 Crab Catcher CourtWilmington, NC 28409Price: $1,840,000

Welcome to 2545 Crab Catcher Ct, a rare opportunity to purchase a waterfront property with a 30' boat slip located in The Tides neighborhood in Wilmington, NC. The Tides is a private, waterfront subdivision tucked off of Myrtle Grove Road and is known for its quiet, tree lined streets, one of the best marinas in New Hanover County, and a waterfront pool where you can watch the boats go by. When you mention The Tides to people in town, the response is typically, '' I love that neighborhood-I wish I lived there''. This is your chance! Imagine waking up with a cup of coffee and watching the sunrise and the birds in the marsh grass. Then hop on your boat and spend the morning directly across the ICW at the pristine beaches at Masonboro Island. Head back home, make some lunch and then go spend the afternoon at the community pool watching the boats go by. Finish up the night with beverages or smores at the community fire pit right next to the ICW. This is Coastal Living at its best! This 2,344 square foot, 3 bedroom home located on the Intracoastal Waterway includes a 30' boat slip in a protected marina, and is truly a boater's dream- Carolina Beach Inlet is just minutes away. Positioned on a quiet cul-de-sac, this home has expansive views of the Intracoastal Waterway, Masonboro Island, and The Tides Marina. The sunrises here can't be beat. The floor plan includes the main living space, two bedrooms and an office on the first level, which also includes a large deck for entertaining. The primary suite is located on the upper level creating a private retreat. A balcony is perfectly positioned off the primary suite, perfect for morning coffee and watching the sunrise. The ground level basement area is large in size and is partially heated and cooled. Possibilities for this area are endless-it would make a great art studio, home gym, hobby center, tackle room, storage area or home to your surfboards and kayaks. Updates since 2015 include exterior siding, ''tabby style'' ground level masonry, HVAC, windows, and roof. Boat slip number 36 transfers with this property (center dock, first slip on left). HOA annual activities include Fourth of July Bike/Golf Cart parade, Fall Oyster Roast/Shrimp Boil (fun for kids, pot luck with band/music under a tent), Christmas Parade, Egg Hunt, Halloween and St Pat's parties at neighbors homes, and various other activities throughout the year. Community amenities include a protected marina, pool with restrooms, fire pit area and observation deck, parking area, and a kayak launch.
