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.

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.
