2124 Auburn Lane, Wilmington, NC 28405

In Landfall, the best lots aren't for sale. They already have homes on them, and this is one. Set on a prime pond-front corner in Pembroke Jones Park and framed by beautiful mature landscaping, 2124 Auburn Lane has a saltwater pool that looks across two lakes to the island green of the Jack Nicklaus course, with a fountain dancing in the foreground.

From the circular drive and double front porch, the entry tells you this home was built to host. The two-story great room centers on a floor-to-ceiling stacked stone fireplace beneath a curved balcony, opening to the sunroom through oversized premium windows.

Custom plantation shutters run throughout. The kitchen features white quartz, a pro gas range top, a Sub-Zero, double wall ovens, and a raised bar that keeps the cook in the conversation. The first-floor primary suite offers a sitting room, two separate full baths, two walk-in closets, and French doors to a private patio.

Classic tile baths carry throughout the home. Above the three-car garage, a secluded guest suite with its own staircase and balcony overlooks the pond. Three more bedrooms and a flex room are upstairs, with a home theater and play space on the third floor.

Outside, the fenced backyard is made for entertaining: a saltwater pool wrapped in travertine overlooks the pond, while a built-in grill and a fire pit that seats 10 or more overlook the pool. A whole-home propane generator and two tankless water heaters add peace of mind, all inside the gates of Landfall, and minutes from Wrightsville Beach.
