Tucked at the end of a long, private drive and framed by mature hardwoods, 196 Pattie Lane is a rare find: a low-maintenance home on more than three private acres with direct frontage on Grants Creek, a navigable waterway that flows into the White Oak River. Whether you're picturing quiet mornings with coffee on the screened porch, an afternoon paddle from your own backyard, or simply the peace of having no close neighbors, this property delivers a lifestyle that's increasingly hard to find this close to town. The setting is the star here. A wide, sweeping lawn runs from the house straight down to the water's edge, bordered on both sides by dense trees that give the whole property a secluded, almost storybook feel and yet you're just a short, easy commute to MCAS New River and Camp Lejeune. The full-length screened porch wraps the front of the home and looks out over that same green expanse, making it the kind of space you'll actually use every day, rain or shine, bug-free. Inside, the home has been thoughtfully refreshed and is ready to move into. Popcorn ceilings have been removed and the interior freshly painted throughout, with new lighting and ceiling fans in every room for a clean, updated feel. Both bathrooms have been completely renovated with new vanities, vessel sinks, matte black fixtures, and stylish tile work. The kitchen offers a dramatic dark stone-look countertop, crisp white cabinetry, and a window over the sink framed by views of the surrounding woods. A cozy fireplace anchors the living area, which opens through French doors directly onto the screened porch creating an easy indoor-outdoor flow that's perfect for entertaining or simply enjoying the view. Practical, big-ticket updates have been handled as well, offering real peace of mind for the next owner. The crawlspace has been fully encapsulated, and fitted with a dehumidifier. A Kinetico water softener system is installed, the septic system was pumped in May 2025, gutters were cleaned and sealed in May 2026, and both the fireplace and generator have been inspected and are in working order. The A/C was inspected in May 2026, and the pump house has a brand-new roof. The backyard fencing has also been updated. Storage and workspace won't be a concern -- the property includes existing shops and sheds offering ample room for equipment, boats, tools, or a workshop setup, plus an attached one-car garage. A metal roof tops the home for durability and low upkeep for years to come. Properties with true navigable creek frontage, over three acres, and this level of privacy rarely come to market in this area, especially this close to base. Schedule your showing of 196 Pattie Lane today.

Authentic Timber-Frame Creekfront Estate on Howe Creek is A Rare Offering. Nestled beneath a canopy of mature trees on more than an acre along the tidal waters of Howe Creek, this extraordinary custom four-bedroom, four-bath authentic timber-frame home is a rare and soulful offering in Wilmington. Here, life moves with the tide--quietly, gracefully, and in rhythm with the natural beauty that surrounds you. Constructed with magnificent Tennessee oak timbers, the exposed beams are not decorative accents--they are the very framework of the home itself, showcasing centuries-old craftsmanship, remarkable strength, and architectural beauty that simply cannot be replicated in conventional construction. Every detail speaks to permanence, artistry, and a deep connection to place. Inside, soaring ceilings, handcrafted beams, and a breathtaking floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace create a warm, welcoming atmosphere that feels both grand and deeply comforting. The home is filled with the soft glow of natural light, with every room drawing the eye outward to the ever-changing creek, the marsh grasses, and the quiet movement of the trees beyond the windows. Sunlight trickles into the spacious living areas, where the open floor plan invites easy conversation, relaxed gatherings, and peaceful everyday living. Whether you are enjoying a slow morning coffee, hosting friends for an evening by the fire, or simply listening to the breeze move through the trees, this is a home that surrounds you with calm and comfort. The thoughtfully designed layout includes a highly desirable first-floor primary suite, along with a home office, laundry room, and craft room that can adapt beautifully to the needs of modern living. Each space offers flexibility, function, and the kind of livability that makes a home feel effortless. Upstairs features three additional bedrooms, including a private suite with its own separate entrance--ideal for guests, multigenerational living, a home office, or a quiet retreat tucked away from the rest of the home. A fifth bathroom has already been plumbed, offering even more flexibility for future expansion and personalization. The kitchen and bathrooms provide an exciting opportunity for personalization, allowing the next owner to blend modern updates with the home's timeless architectural character. Imagine creating spaces that reflect your own style while honoring the warmth and authenticity already woven throughout the home. Two newer HVAC systems and creekside Renewel By Anderson windows provide added comfort and peace of mind, ensuring the home is as practical as it is beautiful. Outside, discover one of the property's greatest treasures. Set along the waters of Howe Creek, you'll enjoy boating access to the Intracoastal Waterway by way of the tidal waters of Howe Creek. This is a setting that invites you to slow down and savor each day--watching the tide rise and fall, feeling the salt-tinged breeze drift across the water, and taking in the quiet beauty of marshland at sunrise and sunset. Whether you envision adding a dock (subject to permitting), launching a kayak at daybreak, casting a line from the shoreline, watching egrets glide low across the marsh, or simply sitting outside as the water shimmers in the afternoon light, this remarkable setting offers a lifestyle few properties can match. It is a place where mornings begin with birdsong and evenings end with the soft hush of the creek. Homes of this caliber are exceedingly rare--combining authentic timber-frame construction, over an acre of waterfront privacy, navigable tidal creek access, and an irreplaceable natural setting just minutes from Wilmington's beaches, dining, shopping, and everyday conveniences. This is more than a home. It is a legacy of craftsmanship and love, a sanctuary surrounded by nature, and a place where the beauty of the creek becomes part of your everyday life and memories are made for generations to come.
