Tucked away in the sought-after Maxwell Place community on Masonboro Sound Road and just minutes from Wrightsville Beach, this exceptional custom home combines the timeless architectural style of William Poole with the luxury finishes, thoughtful updates, and everyday livability today's buyers are searching for. Originally reimagined through an extensive renovation and further enhanced by the current owners, the home offers the character and craftsmanship that are increasingly difficult to find, paired with the modern conveniences buyers expect. Recent improvements include freshly painted exterior brick, beautifully refinished hardwood floors in a light oak finish, updated primary bath cabinetry, and thoughtfully trimmed landscaping that enhances natural light while maintaining privacy. Inside, 10-foot ceilings, elegant millwork, custom built-ins, and rich architectural details create a warm and inviting atmosphere. At the center of the home is a stunning chef's kitchen featuring Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, custom cabinetry, a generous island, pot filler, dual sinks, wine refrigeration, an ice maker, and abundant workspace for entertaining and everyday living. The great room flows seamlessly to the covered outdoor living area, complete with a linear gas fireplace, outdoor kitchen, outdoor ice maker, and additional wine refrigeration--an ideal setting for everything from morning coffee to game-day gatherings. The primary suite offers a private retreat with its own fireplace, spa-like bath, and impressive custom walk-in closet. Upstairs, guest suites enjoy privacy and flexibility with additional living areas, a kitchenette, bonus spaces that can easily adapt to changing needs, and a secondary laundry connection option for added convenience. Practical features are just as impressive as the luxury finishes, including a Tesla charger, workout room, extensive storage, walk-up attic space, and a Fortified Roof for added peace of mind. For buyers seeking future expansion, the third-floor walk-up attic has already been plumbed for HVAC, making it ready for conversion into additional living space if desired. Ideally located within the Masonboro Elementary and Hoggard High School districts and convenient to shopping, dining, medical facilities, Carolina Beach, downtown Wilmington, and Wilmington International Airport, the location is every bit as impressive as the home itself. Some homes are designed to impress. The best homes do that while still feeling comfortable, welcoming, and easy to live in. 5617 Maxwell Place delivers both.
