It's located in Wilmington and the entire value of the prize package? Over $1.2 million!

The home which is described as coastal retreat is located in Wilmington, NC. The area is known for world-famous surfing, diving and fishing, as well as dining, gorgeous shops and local entertainment.

The Home

The 2022 HGTV Smart Home is a two-story modern cottage sits over 3,000 square feet. The home features three bedrooms, two-and-a-half bathrooms and a two-car garage. And with a location like Wilmington you know it has to have outdoor living as well. And don't worry it lives up to expectations. The outdoor spaces include a wrap-around porch with cozy swing seating looking out onto the expansive front yard. And that's not all, the backyard features a beautiful pool, pergola, a fire pit, large back deck, and an outdoor kitchen. Can I move in yet?

You'll first step inside the foyer which then leads into the office. There you will find this room painted in a rich charcoal on the walls and ceiling. From there the layout flows into the (of course) state-of-the-art kitchen. This coastal cook's dream is filled with chic green cabinets and bronze hardware, a large island with seating for four, adjacent to a full dining area. The living room is bright and airy and includes a fireplace and wet bar. The primary bedroom is found on the first floor complete with an ensuite bathroom and private patio. Upstairs you will find two guest bedrooms, each designed with nods to Wilmington's coastal lifestyle. There is also a guest bathroom and a playroom that opens onto a deck.

The home was constructed by Wilmington builder Charter Building Group. Interior design was done by Tiffany Brooks.

The home search in Charlotte is crazy. If you are looking to sell you are going to receive top dollar, but if you're looking to buy you're going to have a hefty price tag. In fact, I'm most likely going to re-sign my apartment lease in hopes that things calm down! But it's interesting to see just how far your dollar will go when it comes to real estate. So, I did a quick search on Realtor.com to see what homes $1 Million would get you in the Charlotte Market. Do I have $1 million to spend? Absolutely not, but it's fun to look and dream.

There are many homes priced well above that $1 million price tag, but for this list, I set that as my limit. Prices range from $975,000 to $1 million. But how much does that get you? It can get you as much as 5 acres or a waterfront lot. Most homes have around 4 bedrooms and 3.5-4.5 baths. You've got homes in the Ballantyne area as well as Myers Park or South Park. So a decent-sized house in a nice neighborhood.

Currently, In Charlotte, there are 1,603 homes for sale.
