1625 Futch Creek Rd

Floor-to-ceiling glass in the living room's east- and west facing walls makes this modern estate the ultimate coastal getaway. Aptly-named ''On Water'', the home is uniquely situated on a knob in the creek, surrounded by water on three sides, and promises views of both sunrise and sunset reflecting off the water. Designed by Wilmington architect, Michael Kersting, this home is an architectural wonder providing a seamless blend between indoors and out. The formal dining room is uniquely centralized and extends from the living room to an eat-in kitchen featuring a travertine island, to a gracious screened in porch offering sweeping views of the water. Ample open space and a secondary scullery kitchen mean you'll always be ready for entertaining. The double-sided fireplace is a cozy reminder of a time gone by—the only original element left from the renovation in honor of the late Bishop of East Carolina and his wife who built the original home and lived out their golden years on this property. The creek-side master suite showcases his and hers closets and a ''wet room'' where the shower and tub are housed together for a spa-like experience. Wrap-around tiled porches extend nearly the entire perimeter of the home offering a variety of areas to relax or entertain. The nautical guest house is a mastery of efficiency with built-in cabinets, pocket doors, and custom queen-sized bunk beds. Featuring three bedrooms—each with ensuite bath—this 2,000+ square foot dwelling will provide elegant accommodations for friends and family. Your guests will enjoy the saltwater pool, cabana, and garage-turned-game-room, not to mention the unrivaled water views at high tide.
