About this home
A true Wilmington landmark timeless, historic, and recognized worldwide as the real ''Dawson's Creek House.'' This waterfront home on Hewlett's Creek represents a rare combination of architectural history, coastal lifestyle, and cultural legacy. The home rests on 1.7 private acres framed by ancient live oaks, magnolias, and pines. The residence features four bedrooms, three & half baths, a large eat-in kitchen, formal dining room, and a spacious living room. French doors open to an expansive screened front porch that overlooks the water, an ideal setting for quiet mornings, family dinners, and views of the tide moving in and out. Outside, the property offers 134 feet of direct water frontage with a private pier and floating dock, providing easy access to the Intracoastal Waterway and Wrightsville Beach by boat. The home's enduring appeal reaches beyond its architectural character. It served as Dawson Leery's home in all six seasons of the hit television series Dawson's Creek. Its white faade, wide porch, and familiar dock became central to the show's story, an instantly recognizable symbol of coastal life and coming-of-age nostalgia. Beyond its Hollywood legacy, this home has always been a gathering place for family and friends. Evenings on the porch, fireworks reflected in the creek, and moonrises over the water are memories that have defined life here for generations. The Wilmington Plain architectural style is evident in the home's balanced proportions, tall ceilings, and light-filled rooms designed to capture coastal breezes. Though being sold as-is, the home remains strong in character and structure, offering the next owner the opportunity to preserve and personalize a truly historic property. Located at the end of a quiet lane just minutes from Wrightsville Beach. this is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to own one of Wilmington's most beloved waterfront homes, where history, heritage, and cinematic legacy come together.
