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.

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.

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.
