About this home

YOUR DREAM HOME AWAITS! This extraordinary, one-of-a-kind property offers the perfect blend of luxury, entertainment, privacy, and resort-style living. Nestled on an incredible 3-acre homesite in the highly sought-after Portofino Community, this is a home designed to be lived in, enjoyed, and remembered. From the moment you arrive, it is clear this is something special. The centerpiece of the property is an incredible 4,000-square-foot indoor basketball and recreation space, featuring beautiful specialty hardwood flooring, a fitness room, indoor slide, rock-climbing wall, and cargo net. A large garage door provides easy access to the recreation space and adds incredible versatility—the possibilities are virtually endless for how a future owner could use this expansive area. Basketball court, sports complex, entertainment space, hobby area, or something entirely your own.. The main home is equally impressive. The luxurious main-level primary suite offers a private retreat with a spa-inspired bathroom featuring a two-head shower, soaking tub, and oversized walk-in closet. The chef's kitchen is made for entertaining, featuring beautiful quartz countertops, double ovens, a massive 10-foot island, an oversized dining room, and an impressive extra-deep, 4+ foot counter-depth refrigerator. A large walk-in pantry with a second refrigerator provides exceptional storage and convenience. The family room is designed to bring the outdoors in, featuring soaring two-story ceilings and massive sliding doors that open completely, creating an incredible connection between the indoor living space and the stunning wooded backyard views. Open the doors and let the party flow seamlessly outside. The 40+ foot screened-in porch is absolutely stunning and provides an incredible space for relaxing, dining, and entertaining. A thoughtfully designed pass-through counter connects the porch directly to the interior of the home, making serving food and entertaining guests outside incredibly convenient. A gas line has already been installed for a future outdoor grill near the pool area, making it easy to continue creating your own private outdoor oasis. The backyard has also been prepared for a future pool. Inside, thoughtful details make everyday living effortless, including laundry rooms on both levels, an additional laundry closet conveniently located near the gym, and built-in lockers in the mudroom to keep everyone organized. The dramatic family room features soaring ceilings, while loft spaces overlook the living areas below. Beautiful oversized windows in the stairwell fill the home with natural light and add to the home's impressive architectural character. The oversized three-car garage provides plenty of room for vehicles, while the space above offers tremendous additional storage. The home was thoughtfully designed with the ability to finish additional attic space as a future theater room, offering even more potential to customize this already incredible property. Note also there are two storage spaces with exterior access for your lawn care needs or outdoor toys. Then there is Portofino, a community unlike any other. Enjoy wooded trails winding along the Neuse River, a community kayak launch, fishing ponds, horse stables,sandvolleyball courts and two community pools and clubhouses—all creating a true resort-style experience right at home. The community also allows homeowners to board horses on their own property, making this an especially rare opportunity for equestrian enthusiasts. This isn't simply a beautiful house. It is a private retreat, entertainment destination, luxury home, and resort-style lifestyle all in one. With practically new construction, extraordinary indoor recreation space, incredible indoor-outdoor living, and one of the area's most unique communities, there is truly nothing ordinary about this home. You have to experience it in person to appreciate everything this property has to offer. Showings for serious buyers only. Agent related to seller.
