About this home
Where elegance and privacy meet. Tucked into an exceptionally quiet cul-de-sac of just five homes in gated Porters Neck Country Club, 8709 Lake Nona Drive offers a rare sense of privacy within one of Wilmington's most established communities. Mature trees and layers of established landscaping surround the .42-acre lot, creating a setting that feels much larger and remarkably secluded. Far from cookie-cutter, this custom traditional has a character all its own, with thoughtful architectural details and a floor plan designed with both openness and defined living spaces. Inside, four bedrooms and three and a half baths span approximately 3,375 square feet. A dramatic two-story wall of windows fills the great room with natural light, while the kitchen sits at the heart of the home with a large center island, three sinks, beautiful cabinetry and an easy, open connection to the keeping room. Two fireplaces, Brazilian cherry flooring and abundant built-in storage add warmth and character throughout. The main-level primary suite offers a spacious primary bath. Upstairs are three additional bedrooms and two full baths, providing comfortable, flexible spaces with plenty of room to spread out. Every bedroom has a walk-in closet, and additional storage includes extensive cabinetry, a shelved attic, upstairs storage room and a separate workroom off the garage. Outside is where this property really sets itself apart. The expanded deck steps down to a patio surrounded by mature landscaping, fresh zoysia sod and flowering trees and shrubs selected to provide color throughout the seasons. An awning, landscape lighting and a bubbling fountain create an outdoor space that's just as inviting in the evening as it is during the day. Many of the major improvements have already been addressed, including a new roof in 2026 with transferable warranty, new 6-inch gutters, upstairs HVAC in 2025, downstairs HVAC in 2019, water heater in 2025 and a 22kW Generac whole-house standby generator supported by a dedicated 500-gallon propane tank. Additional improvements include updated crawl-space moisture management and drainage improvements. And while the setting feels wonderfully tucked away, the Porters Neck lifestyle is close at hand. Deeded water access includes a community boat ramp, waterfront picnic area and kayak launch on the Intracoastal Waterway, with Porters Neck Country Club conveniently located within the community. Sometimes the most beautiful views are the ones no one else can see.
