Seeking the boating lifestyle without compromising on space or privacy? Your home includes a deeded 24' boat slip & 10,000-pound hydraulic lift--offering direct access to the Intracoastal Waterway minutes from your door. Set in the private waterfront enclave of Avenel in Porters Neck, this fully renovated 4,200-SF residence offers 4 beds, 3.5 baths, and a rare combination of land, light & coastal lifestyle on a beautifully landscaped, estate-sized .75-acre homesite framed by mature trees. Days begin with tranquil views over Laurel Lea Pond & end on the water, inviting a quick run to Masonboro Island. Designed for both entertaining and multi-generational flexibility, your home features expansive living areas, home office, and a 1st-level recreation space with covered patio access + large bonus room. The open-concept main level is anchored by a newly-renovated chef's kitchen with a substantial quartz island, white cabinetry, subway tile backsplash, brand new stainless appliances, built-in wall oven, French-door refrigerator, and designer pendant lighting. A bay window and direct access to the back porch enhance everyday living and outdoor entertaining. Inside, soaring ceilings and skylights fill the home with natural light, complemented by site-finished hardwood floors throughout the main living areas. Architectural details including crown molding, substantial baseboards, arched openings, and transom windows add depth and character. The living room features a fireplace with custom built-ins and flows seamlessly into dining spaces & a tiled sunroom. The owner's suite offers a refined retreat with a freestanding soaking tub beneath an arched window, glass-enclosed shower with subway tile and matte black fixtures, hex tile flooring, and a walk-in closet. Seller has improved: NEW ROOF, fresh exterior paint on cedar shake siding, crawl space sealed vapor shield + dehumidifier, renovated 3 baths, carpet, interior paint, added custom built in's, and added stairs with rail to boat slip. Oversized 2-car garage: additional storage for coastal gear + recreational needs. Avenel is known for its tree-lined streets, privacy, and strong sense of community--where boating, kayaking, & paddleboarding are part of everyday life. Located minutes to shopping and dining and approximately 10 miles to Wrightsville Beach, offering a rare opportunity to enjoy a tucked-away waterfront setting without sacrificing convenience.
