About this property

Tucked away just outside Wilmington city limits in the quiet Marquis Hills community, 5021 Ilex Drive is the kind of property buyers hope to find but rarely do. Set on a peaceful, fully fenced lot with a wooded backdrop, this beautifully renovated 5-bedroom, 3-bath home offers space, privacy, character, and convenience -- all without city taxes. Inside, the home has been thoughtfully transformed with a modern, elevated feel while keeping the charm that makes it stand out. Vaulted ceilings, exposed spiral ductwork, updated LVP flooring, energy-efficient windows, and abundant natural light create a bright, open living space that feels both stylish and functional. The kitchen is a true showpiece, featuring stainless steel appliances and rare commercial-grade 316 stainless steel countertops -- a durable, chef-inspired finish you will not find in most homes. The private primary suite offers oversized windows, a walk-in closet, and a spa-style bathroom with a tiled walk-in shower and double vanity. Four additional bedrooms provide flexibility for guests, kids, a home office, gym, or creative space. Step outside to a newly built deck overlooking the private backyard, perfect for entertaining, relaxing, grilling, or letting pets enjoy the fully fenced space. Two detached outbuildings add even more value with room for storage, hobbies, tools, or a workshop. Located just minutes from downtown Wilmington, area beaches, shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences, this home delivers the best of both worlds: peaceful living with quick access to everything coastal Wilmington has to offer. Move-in ready, updated, and truly unique -- this is not just another renovated home.
