About This Home

As of June 2025

Live the life you've been dreaming about in this unique, sought-after community of Avenel, a nature-lover's paradise on the banks of the Intracoastal Waterway. Custom-built on .65 acre, this home features hardwood floors in the common area and primary suite, classic craftsmen details throughout, volume ceilings and an abundance of windows that make every day brighter and give you great views of the beautifully landscaped yard, beyond. You can choose to spend your time in the cozy study in front of the marble surround fireplace or relax with your favorite book in the living room with built-in bookcases and cabinets, cathedral ceiling, skylight, and Palladian window. Or maybe cooking is your thing. Prepare your special dishes in this spacious gourmet kitchen with pantry, recessed lighting, island, designer tile backsplash, extensive maple cabinetry and granite counters which make it the place you want to be. The large primary bath features corian counters, a deep whirlpool tub, walk-in shower, dressing table and TWO walk-in closets. Upstairs all the bedrooms are light, 2 with walk-in closets. Come home to this beautiful community with winding streets, large yards, and stately trees. After a hectic day, there is no better way to relax than on your deck surrounded by the sounds of nature. Or take a leisurely stroll to the gazebo with your favorite beverage in hand to enjoy the extensive water views, and pod of dolphins. Convenient to Porters Neck Elementary School, built in 2020, shopping and a variety of fine restaurants. No city taxes. Check out Features sheet for more details.
