There are addresses in Wilmington that carry a certain weight. Airlie Road is one of them.
6612 Spring Garden Drive sits along one of Wilmington’s most cherished and iconic scenic byways, in a private community of just eight homes overlooking the deepwater shores of Bradley Creek, with Airlie Gardens and its miles of trails and planted gardens as a living, breathing backdrop right next door.
The setting alone is extraordinary. A magnificent canopy of century-old moss-draped live oaks filters the southern sun over the water, casting the kind of light that makes every hour of the day feel like golden hour. A circular gravel drive with lush landscaping leads to a graceful stair entry and a deep covered front porch, and the moment you step into the marble-tiled foyer, the oversized arched windows frame Bradley Creek and the gently sloping lawn to the water in a way that stops you in your tracks.
The Charleston-inspired design was made for this setting. Over 3,700 square feet of heated living space and nearly 6,000 square feet under roof. Vaulted great room with electric fireplace, curved balcony overlook with stately columns, oversized all-white kitchen with keeping room and breakfast area, all overlooking the water. A waterfront primary suite on the main floor. Two enormous guest suites upstairs, each with a private bath and walkout balcony over Bradley Creek.
And for the car collector or toy enthusiast, a lower-level drive-through garage with parking for 8 to 10 vehicles that is simply without equal in this market.
A new community dock with ipe decking and a deeded 30-foot boat slip puts Dockside and Bridgetender five minutes away by boat, Masonboro Island ten minutes out, and the open Atlantic through the protected Masonboro Inlet whenever the day calls for it.
Spring Garden. Airlie Road. Eight homes. One of Wilmington’s most irreplaceable addresses, and it’s available right now.
