Nestled on 1.4 private acres in the heart of coveted Porters Neck, this is not just a home -- it's a legacy build. Custom-crafted with a level of quality and foresight that's increasingly difficult to achieve today, this property offers a rare opportunity to own something truly irreplaceable. The primary residence offers five bedrooms and five baths, anchored by 10-foot ceilings and a seamless blend of hardwood and tile throughout the first level. The layout is both refined and intentional, with widened hallways and doorways for ease of movement, and a private-entry office that creates a clean separation between work and home. The kitchen delivers on every level -- designed for serious cooking and effortless hosting. Viking double ovens, a six-burner gas cooktop, custom cherry cabinetry carried to the ceiling, and a sweeping granite island set the tone. A full-height refrigerator and freezer, warming drawer, and a secondary prep space in the oversized laundry room elevate functionality without sacrificing flow. Built-in audio extends from the main living areas out to the porches, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor experience. Behind the walls, the investment continues. Built with 2x6 construction, copper plumbing, 600-amp electrical service, four-zone HVAC, and whole-home generator capability, this home was engineered for longevity. Kynar-coated windows and a deep Castle Hayne well with updated filtration further reinforce the level of infrastructure rarely seen. A private elevator and expansive multi-level storage complete the main residence. Above the four-car garage, the detached apartment -- spanning approximately 1,250 square feet -- is fully furnished and thoughtfully finished with 9-foot ceilings, granite surfaces, premium appliances, and its own HVAC and generator hookup. Whether used for guests, multigenerational living, or income potential, it functions as a true second residence. A separate climate-controlled workshop with built-ins and heavy-duty electric hoists adds another layer of versatility -- ideal for collectors, hobbyists, or anyone who values space that works as hard as they do. This is the kind of property that doesn't come to market often -- and once it's gone, it's nearly impossible to recreate.
