If you have been waiting for a home with a private boat ramp on the Intracoastal Waterway, you will find it here in the small, quiet neighborhood of Shellbank. Located in the highly desirable Porters Neck community, elevated above flood zones, with one of Wilmington's best private water accesses, and a voluntary HOA. Just over the bridge from Figure Eight Island and minutes from Porters Neck Elementary, this home offers a true coastal Carolina lifestyle. Imagine walking out your front door, any time of day, and in minutes you can be anchored on an island, relaxing in crystal clear waters. No navigating up long shallow creeks or waiting at crowded public boat ramps. Launch your boat from the community boat ramp, with a floating dock, located just off the Intracoastal Waterway. Come home after a day on the water to this true nature lover's escape. This home sits on a 0.74-acre lot surrounded by oak trees, nature trails, and pond views, and it adjoins acres of wooded land, offering peace and quiet. Enjoy summer evenings on the screened-in back porch or take a stroll to the community's dock. Soak in the ocean breeze and the expansive views of the ICW, Wrightsville Beach, and Figure Eight Island from the elevated bluff. Inside, the home welcomes you with a spacious living room, a well-equipped kitchen with a breakfast nook, a walk-in pantry, and a formal dining area. A flexible space, currently used as an office, can easily serve as a hobby room or remote workspace. Upstairs, the primary suite features a walk-in closet, and storage is abundant, including attic space and storage above the garage. A two-car garage with workshop, backyard shed, covered boat area, and fenced yard adds even more utility. Recent upgrades include the 2024 HVAC system and new 2025 roof. Don't miss the chance to make this coastal retreat your dream home, just in time for Fourth of July fireworks over the water.
