There is something special about Wilmington's southern waterfront; a mystique and beauty all its own. Finding your own peaceful enclave in this little piece of paradise, so close to town yet worlds away, is priceless. Welcome to 4302 Lauralis Bluff Court. This lovingly renovated 4,700+ sq ft, five-bedroom, five-bath home sits high on a bluff overlooking Whiskey Creek, offering sweeping wraparound views and 230' of elevated waterfront. A gently sloping lawn meanders toward a recently built community dock and walkway, where the home enjoys its own dedicated 25' boat slip and floating dock. Elevated out of the flood zone, the property offers not only extraordinary beauty and convenience, but peace of mind as well. Inside, you'll find the thoughtful touches of a homeowner who worked at the highest levels of the New York design industry. The home has undergone a comprehensive renovation, with careful attention given to the details that truly make a space exceptional. An expanse of Fleetwood doors opens the living areas to the seemingly endless views, allowing natural light to wash throughout the home and shift beautifully from morning to dusk. The open living space features Boen wide-plank wood flooring, a striking three-sided Ortal fireplace, and modern open shelving. Fleetwood doors open to the expansive stone terrace, allowing the living space to flow seamlessly outdoors and creating an effortless connection to the water beyond. The fully renovated kitchen is centered around a generous island and offers all of the prep space, cabinetry, and openness the chef in your family could desire. A gas cooktop, built-in stainless appliances, and thoughtfully planned storage are complemented by the added convenience of a spacious pantry. Just beyond, the breakfast room brings the outdoors in, with serene views across the creek and into the private, wooded and terraced side yard. Doors open directly to the stone terrace, making outdoor dining a natural extension of everyday living. A mudroom, side grilling porch, and conveniently placed laundry and utility rooms sit just beyond the kitchen, en route to the roomy two-car garage, where a high-end shelving system provides beautifully organized storage. The main-level primary suite is both expansive and peaceful, with an understated sense of comfort, abundant natural light, and a wall of custom built-in storage. The generous primary bath features dual vanities, a walk-in shower, and soaking tub, with a large walk-in closet beyond, outfitted with custom built-ins. Upstairs, another exceptional living space awaits. The family room is anchored by a dramatic Fleetwood picture window framing an incredible view over the treetops to the water--a room that is sure to become everyone's favorite place in the home. An adjacent flex space offers endless possibilities as a fifth bedroom, office, playroom, or whatever best suits your family's needs. Three additional spacious en-suite bedrooms, each with a beautifully designed bath, provide wonderful accommodations for family and guests. Beyond, a bonus room offers even more flexibility as a gym, second office, children's game room, or creative space. 4302 Lauralis Bluff Court truly has it all- a beautifully considered home, an extraordinary waterfront setting, boating at your doorstep, and the rare feeling of being completely away from it all while remaining remarkably close to everything Wilmington has to offer. Showings begin Saturday.

4 Beds ⋅ 4 Baths ⋅ 100600632 MLS ⋅ ACTIVE Status ⋅ 3,375 SqFt. ⋅ 2004 Year Built
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.
