Welcome to Portofino, an equestrian neighborhood with miles of scenic trails with private access to the Neuse River and two beautiful pools with clubhouses, including event space. Nestled beside a peaceful horse pasture, this custom home sits on a manicured 0.7 acre lot. A brick front porch framed by native, perennial landscaping offers a warm welcome. Inside you'll find luxury details throughout including extensive millwork, hardwood flooring on the main level and upstairs hallway, and a gourmet kitchen with quartz countertops and gas range. The sun-filled family room features a vaulted ceiling accented with wood beams, a stone fireplace, and a built-in bookcase with storage cabinets below. The flexible main floor layout also includes a formal dining room, breakfast room, a spacious primary suite, a second bedroom or office with an additional full bath, plus a separate laundry room and mudroom. Upstairs is two additional bedrooms with a jack-and-jill bathroom, a custom-built workspace, a large bonus room perfect for a media room, home gym, or creative studio, and walk-in access to two floored attic areas. What truly sets this home apart is the three-season sunroom with a vaulted, wood paneled ceiling and direct access to a brick patio and the large, private backyard beyond with large oak trees, native, pollinator-friendly perennial landscaping, and a 16 x 16-foot fenced raised bed vegetable garden with established blueberry and blackberry bushes. This is more than a house- it is a forever home! Roof with 50-year transferrable warranty in 2022 and new tankless water heater in 2025.
