Welcome to Saucier Way. This exceptional short-term rental (longterm negotiable) is nestled within a private, gated 6-acre estate in Wilmington, offering the perfect blend of seclusion and convenience. Located just 3.5 miles from Wrightsville Beach, and a short drive or bike ride to Mayfaire and The Forum, this home delivers privacy without sacrificing prime location.

The property also features a reverse floor plan, maximizing views and natural light throughout. Inside, you'll find a gourmet kitchen with gas cooktop, new dishwasher, built-in wet bar, dedicated office space, and generous living areas designed for entertaining. The primary suite offers direct access to a screened-in porch, while the upper deck overlooks the backyard and pool. A projector-equipped upstairs second primary bedroom/bonus room adds flexibility for movie nights or recreation. Additional features include a 2-car garage, possible guest home availability (an additional 1, 279 sqft home), and negotiable furnishings.
