407 Channel Drive N

There are homes at the beach, and then there are homes that become the reason you never want to leave. 407 N Channel Drive sits on one of the most coveted streets on Wrightsville Beach, where the pace slows the moment you arrive and the Intracoastal Waterway unfolds directly across the street. Pull a chair to the public waterway easement, pour something cold, and watch the boats move across the water. This is not a weekend escape. This is a lifestyle. Currently the only newly constructed residence of this caliber available on Wrightsville Beach, this home sits on a rare 75-foot-wide lot, a width genuinely uncommon on the island and one that makes everything possible: a three-bay enclosed garage, ample parking, room for a pool, and breathing room that most Wrightsville Beach lots simply cannot offer. Crafted by Schmidt Custom Homes as a member of the Southern Living Custom Builder Program, every inch of this 4,537 square foot Modern Coastal Craftsman was built with intentionality that cannot be retrofitted. Open cell foam insulation, 2x6 exterior framing, a FORTIFIED roof, and stormwater retention systems speak to a standard of permanence built to last. The main living level anchors a chef's kitchen with scullery and wet bar to open living and dining areas that flow seamlessly to a covered porch and open deck beyond. Four en suite bedrooms. A dedicated media room and lounge on the upper level. An elevator serving every floor. The rooftop deck with wet bar exists for one purpose: to remind you where you are. Sweeping Intracoastal views in every direction. Walk to Johnnie Mercer's Pier. Bike to coffee. Come home to an outdoor kitchen, covered patio, and a yard with room for a pool. The ground level flex space becomes whatever your life calls for next: a private gym, sauna, golf simulator, creative studio. Few homes on Wrightsville Beach offer this much usable space and lifestyle potential under one roof. 407 N Channel Drive is the rarest kind of coastal offering: built without compromise, positioned without equal, designed for a life that feels like it belongs here.
