Architect-Designed, Engineer-Built Coastal Fortress - A Rare Custom Masterpiece Seller offering $10K use as you choose! No expense was spared in the design and construction of this one-of-a-kind custom home—a true labor of love from the ground up. With over 600 bonus square feet not counted in the total, this architectural gem was built by the owner, a Robotics Engineer who served as Architect and General Contractor. This is not your standard builder-grade home—it's a meticulously crafted residence built with passion, precision, and purpose. One of the key design intentions was resilience, with the entire home engineered to withstand a Category 5 hurricane using only the highest-grade materials. From the sealed, insulated, and air-controlled crawl space to the 50-year architectural shingles and spray-foam fortified roof insulation, every detail is built for durability and comfort. Inside, enjoy three programmable climate zones powered by two dual-source HVAC units (automatically switching between electric and gas). The chef's kitchen boasts 32 feet of granite countertops, gas stovetop, electric convection oven, built-in microwave, paneled Sub-Zero refrigerator, paneled dishwasher, and bar fridge—beautifully integrated into custom cabinetry. The formal dining room is accented with hardwood flooring and a custom tile inlay, while tile continues through the kitchen, pantry, laundry room, and bathrooms. The living room includes two large Pella windows with built-in blinds, a stylish fireplace with rear game room heating, and in-wall conduit for clean media cable management. The bathrooms are thoughtfully designed with fully tiled, doorless showers with matching tile floors, and a guest bath complete with a jacuzzi tub, dual sinks, and a stunning stained-glass window. The expansive game room and adjacent office offer ample space for pool, ping pong, shuffleboard, slot machines, or a private retreat. And that's just the beginning.. The Ultimate Garage + Workshop Experience Descending from the office is a massive, 6-inch walled garage/man-castle, formerly a fully equipped machine shop. It's prepped with HVAC ducting nearby for easy finishing, offering a customizable dream workshop or hobby space. In front is a Boat/RV garage large enough to house a 34' motorhome with slides extended, complete with full hookups (water, electric, and septic). An 18-foot garage door ensures even your biggest toys fit with ease. Beyond that is yet another oversized garage, accessible from both ends with dual 9' garage doors, capable of storing 3 more vehicles, a boat, or being converted into additional living space. Outdoor Oasis + Entertainer's Paradise To the left of the RV space lies a garden shed that opens into a full-fledged Tiki Bar, complete with thatched roofing, ceiling fans, screened-in guest space, sink, cabinetry, half bath, indoor seating, and electric retractable walls to protect from the elements. It's a backyard destination in its own right! The backyard itself is designed for a future inground pool, with low-maintenance PVC decking, aluminum rails, and a concrete patio all in pristine condition. Three-Story Potential + Expansion Ready Above the garage, a staircase leads to a versatile 2nd floor workshop or flex space, and then up to a 3rd-floor crow's nest/MIL suite. The finished room opens to a large, unfinished space that could easily be transformed into a studio, guest quarters, or an additional suitewith septic and utility connections already within reach. And here's where this home truly stands apart: The extra garage area has enough soaring space and quality so significant that you could build an entirely separate home within the existing roofline. Whether you dream of multigenerational living, rental potential, or a creative sanctuary, the volume and strength of this structure are truly unmatched. Location, Location, Lifestyle Nestled beside Ironclad Golf Course and within walking distance of Harbor Village Marina (with boat slips available for purchase), this home sits in one of the most scenic neighborhoods around. Daily strolls offer views of the Intracoastal Waterway, lakes, and fairways, while conveniences like grocery stores, restaurants, and top-rated Topsail schools are minutes away. With low HOA dues and just a short drive to Topsail Island or Wilmington, this home represents a rare blend of luxury, lifestyle, and limitless potential.
