Wilmington, NC – Priced at $6.2 million, 14 E. Oxford Street in Wrightsville Beach came on the market in November. It is the second most expensive home listed for sale in the North Carolina Regional Multiple Listing System.
The newly listed property is more than 8,000 square feet and sits on a double lot with ocean views. It’s many features include a four-bay garage, steel and concrete construction, a wine and humidor room, a large butler’s pantry, extensive built-ins, a professional chef’s kitchen, an elevator and an in-home spa.
The only property listed at a higher price is 7422 Sea Lilly Lane in Inlet Point Harbor on the south side of Wilmington. It was listed in July for $8.2 million and has not yet sold.
A home at 7509 Masonboro Sound Road in Wilmington, was the second highest priced listing when it came on the market, also in July of this year. However, the seller lowered the price of that home from $6,750,000 to $5,950,000 this past month. It is now the third most expensive listing in the area.
As noted in Just For Buyers Realty’s July Luxury Report, the most expensive home ever sold in the Brunswick-New Hanover-Pender tri-county area was 710 Shoals Watch on Bald Head Island. It went for $9.7 million in 2012.
If both 7422 Sea Lilly Lane and 14 E. Oxford Street sell at or near their listed prices, they will be the second and third priciest homes, respectively, to sell since the local MLS started tracking sales numbers in 1996.
