The name

Eleven miles of old trolley line

Over a hundred years ago, the Beach Car carried vacationers from downtown Wilmington out to Wrightsville Beach. Today that route is the River to the Sea Bikeway, and it’s about a block from our door.

Ride west to the Riverwalk or east to the ocean, then come home to a quiet street and a backyard lit up for the evening.

The house

Made for being together

Bright open rooms, a kitchen island that seats four, and four bedrooms that each have their own personality. Hang out together in the big open space, and everyone still gets their own spot to crash.

Mud room with beach and dune grass wallpaper
Kitchen & mud room

A spot for sandy shoes and a kitchen everyone gathers around

Drop your shoes, beach bags and sandy towels in the mud room, the one with the beach and dune grass wallpaper. The kitchen, dining table and living room are all one big open space, so whoever’s cooking is still part of the fun.

Living & dining

Soft leather, sea glass blues and lots of light

Sliding doors open from the dining area to the patio, so dinner can move outside on warm nights.

The backyard

Putt after dark, then gather by the fire

Most nights end up out back. Putt a round under the path lights, get a cornhole game going, then grab a seat at the fire table under the pergola.
