What truly sets your home apart is its deeded 24-foot boat slip with a 10,000-pound hydraulic lift
--an increasingly rare amenity in Wilmington that places the Intracoastal Waterway just steps away and makes spontaneous boat rides to Masonboro Island part of everyday life.
Designed for both entertaining and multi-generational living, your fully renovated 4,600-square-foot residence offers 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, expansive gathering areas, a dedicated home office, and a first-level recreation room with covered patio access
--perfect as a playroom, fitness studio, or private retreat for visiting family.
Tucked within the private waterfront enclave of Avenel in Porters Neck on a beautifully landscaped 0.75-acre homesite framed by mature trees, the property overlooks tranquil Laurel Lea Pond and offers the space and separation today's buyers seek with the ideal balance of boating lifestyle, privacy, and flexibility.
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 create an effortless connection between indoor and outdoor living.
Soaring ceilings, skylights, and transom windows fill the home with natural light, while site-finished hardwood floors, arched openings, crown molding, and custom built-ins add timeless architectural character.
The living room with fireplace flows seamlessly into dining and a tiled, fully conditioned sunroom overlooking the pond.
Your spacious primary suite offers a spa-inspired retreat with a freestanding soaking tub, glass-enclosed shower, hex tile flooring, and walk-in closet.
Recent improvements include a new roof, fresh exterior paint on cedar shake siding, renovated bathrooms, interior paint, new carpet, sealed crawl space with vapor barrier and dehumidifier, custom built-ins, and new stairs with railing to the boat slip.
Approximately 10 miles from Wrightsville Beach and minutes to Porters Neck shopping and dining, your home offers a rare opportunity to enjoy one of Wilmington's most coveted boating lifestyles.
Sellers are offering a home warranty from Choice Home Warranty.
