Landfall
“THE TOP SALE
92
WBM
off the beach was
at Landfall, 2336
Ocean Point Drive,”
says Nick Phillips.
“It was a spectacular Mediterranean
Revival design by architect George
Alsina, who was perhaps best known
for designing Dino De Laurentiis’
house at the beach.”
Now downsized into another smaller
home they already owned, the owners
built the house to be their dream home
from ideas gathered over their 30 years
of designing their houses.
“They built several houses on Figure
Eight prior to building several more in
Landfall,” Phillips says.
Purchasing it as a second home, the
buyer was a Fortune 500 executive,
originally from North Carolina.
“They have North Carolina roots
and wanted to one day end up in
North Carolina. They have had 15
career moves, lived all over the country
and internationally, and he said there’s
no place better than what he’s seen
right here in Wilmington, Landfall and
Wrightsville Beach,” Vance Young says.
The top 20 group in New Hanover
County included two new construc-tions.
The more than 5,000sf 1409
Tidalwalk Drive off Myrtle Grove Road
in the southern portion of the county
closed at $2.975 million; and to the
north at Porters Neck, a 4,600sf new
construction on the ICWW with dock
and bulkhead, 8708 Bald Eagle Lane,
brought $2.604 million.
“Bald Eagle is a story in itself,” says
Young. “Because of Eagle Point Golf
Club, it is one of the hottest streets
in the county. Phenomenal views and
great elevation — most of those homes
are out of the flood plain.”
