About This Home

For those who measure luxury by access to the water, this Cape Fear River waterfront home delivers an extraordinary lifestyle, featuring deep-water navigation at all tides, a private pier with boat lift, and sweeping coastal vistas just minutes from historic Southport. Welcome to 6465 Walden Pond SE, an exceptional brick waterfront estate located in the desirable Winding Creek community. Privately situated on 1.53 acres of picturesque riverfront property, this home welcomes you via a long driveway leading to your own private waterfront retreat, setting the tone for the privacy, space, and tranquility found throughout the estate-like setting. Recent improvements, including a newer roof, provide added peace of mind while preserving the home's timeless character. Designed for boating enthusiasts, a scenic private pier extends across tranquil marshlands to deep navigable water along the Cape Fear River, providing access regardless of tide. The dock is equipped with a boat lift and floating deck, allowing effortless launching and docking while offering access to the Intracoastal Waterway, waterfront dining, and nearby coastal destinations including Oak Island. Thoughtfully positioned to maximize its extraordinary setting, the home captures stunning water views from every bedroom, the kitchen, main living room, and the upstairs living space, creating a seamless connection between indoor living and the surrounding coastal landscape. The home offers 3,454 heated square feet of living space and approximately 4,120 total square feet under roof, including covered porches and screened outdoor living areas designed to embrace the coastal environment. The home offers three bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths with primary living on the main level. The primary suite serves as a private retreat featuring a fireplace and direct access from the primary ensuite to the laundry room, combining comfort with everyday convenience. Each additional bedroom also features its own fireplace, creating warm and inviting guest accommodations. One of the bedrooms offers an en suite, which could serve as a secondary owner's suite. Expansive covered and screened porch areas overlook the marsh and river, providing ideal spaces for entertaining, relaxing, or enjoying coastal breezes and breathtaking sunsets. Outside, the expansive waterfront grounds framed by mature coastal pines provide ample room to enjoy nature, entertain guests, or simply take in the peaceful rhythm of riverfront living. An attached side-load two-car garage and extended driveway provide ample space for vehicles, guests, and boating equipment.
