J. Long Custom Homes has just sold the most expensive home in the history of North Carolina. The 6,700-square-foot beach mansion on Figure Eight Island in Wilmington closed for an astounding $13.9 million.
“We are thrilled to have been part of such a historic record-breaking sale,” said J. Long Custom Homes owner Jason Long in a press release. “This home is a testament to our commitment to quality and luxury.”
The interior of 102 Beach Road South includes rift-sawn hardwoods throughout, a gourmet kitchen with Wolf and Subzero appliances, and quartz counters with waterfall edges.
The master suite has a stacked stone fireplace, modern amenities, and a private deck. Additionally, the mansion offers a fitness room, a 12-camera surveillance system, a 21-zone Musiccast whole house entertainment system, and an elevator servicing all floors.
Outside, the property features an oceanfront saltwater pool and Jacuzzi, approximately 4,000 square feet of outdoor decking, and double outdoor showers.
The listing agent, Nick Phillips with Landmark Sotheby’s Realty, represented sellers Chris and Crystal Dunbar.
Custom-built in 2019, this home was the final project of the late John Stirewalt. The mansion has five bedrooms and eight bathrooms. Figure Eight Island is home to some of the most famous people in the country, including Jennifer Aniston, Al Gore, and Robert Downey Jr.
In 2023, a total of eight expensive homes in New Hanover County have sold for more than $5 million.
