1904 Middle Sound Loop is truly in a category of its own. Offering 5,394 square feet with 4 bedrooms and 4.5 baths, this extraordinary residence is a rare combination of architectural character, uncompromising construction, and one of a kind details that simply cannot be replicated in a typical new build. The thoughtful floor plan is designed around two separate wings, creating exceptional privacy and separation throughout the home. The primary suite occupies its own private wing, offering a peaceful retreat completely separated from the additional bedrooms. The luxurious primary bath features an oversized walk-in shower with three shower heads and individual temperature controls, a soaker tub, dual sinks and vanities, and a spacious walk-in closet. Each of the home's four bedrooms features its own private full bathroom and closet. Two separate upstairs spaces add tremendous flexibility. One includes a bonus room along with an additional bedroom and full bathroom, creating an ideal private secondary living area. The other is a versatile loft space perfectly suited for a home office, library, or cocktail lounge. A remarkable 1,049 square-foot courtyard deck becomes an extension of the living space and is directly accessible from the living room, dining room, and primary bedroom, creating an exceptional indoor-outdoor connection ideal for entertaining. From the moment you arrive, the difference in construction is evident. The exterior features substantial all-brick construction complemented by distinctive 5/8-inch Artisan Hardie accents, creating a timeless architectural presence while incorporating durable, high-quality materials. Substantial 2x6 wall framing and a rock-filled raised slab provide a level of permanence rarely found in residential construction. Above, a triple-ply 60-year shingle roof system adds another layer of durability. The windows are Drutex impact-rated imported from Poland, combining performance with European craftsmanship, along with a Drutex front door, living room and dining room slider. Inside, the living room, dining, and kitchen area is an impressive 1,800 square feet of space. Featuring 3/4-inch solid oak flooring, real oak cabinetry, custom-routed trim, and custom milled door and window casings that showcase the level of detail found throughout the home. The kitchen is nothing short of a culinary showpiece, centered around a 48-inch Wolf eight-burner gas range with double ovens and Wolf hood, complemented by a 36-inch refrigerator, 30-inch freezer, and double islands with two sinks and two dishwashers. There's also a prep kitchen complete with sink, wine refrigerator, and ice maker. Real tongue-and-groove ceilings bring warmth and character overhead, while mahogany porch ceilings and heavy-timber columns crafted from Eastern North Carolina sourced wood add an unmistakable sense of craftsmanship. Thoughtful technology and infrastructure are incorporated throughout, including a 65-inch television shelf that rises from custom cabinetry in the living room, gas fireplace, Trane HVAC, dual electrical panels, a water treatment system, and an on-demand water heater. The home is also pre-wired for a generator and pool, allowing future improvements to be seamlessly integrated. There's also a double bay garage and outdoor shower. Adding to the appeal is the highly sought-after Middle Sound Loop location, a part of Wilmington known for its convenient access to shopping, dining, beaches, and everyday amenities while retaining the established character and traditional coastal feel that makes this area so desirable. For those who love life on the water, opportunities may also exist to acquire a boat slip on the Loop at one of the local marinas near by, providing the possibility of keeping your boat close to home and making it easier to enjoy the waterways and locations that make this area so special. This is a rare opportunity to own a distinctive custom residence in one of Wilmington's most sought after areas!
