1014 Wild Dunes Circle

Set along the Porters Neck Plantation golf course, this thoughtfully updated home offers the rare combination of refined everyday living and a backdrop that never gets old. From the moment you arrive, the classic exterior and manicured landscaping signal that this home has been genuinely cared for -- an impression that only deepens once you step inside. The light-filled interior opens up immediately, drawing you into a main living area that feels both generous and welcoming. Updated flooring, a seamless flow between the living room and dining areas, and an easy connection to the kitchen create a layout that adapts effortlessly -- equally suited to quiet mornings alone or evening gatherings. The kitchen was refreshed in 2019 and built for those who like to cook and entertain. KitchenAid appliances, a gas range, built-in microwave, and stainless refrigerator (which conveys) anchor a clean, modern workspace finished with a tile backsplash and ample cabinetry. The adjacent dining area stays fully connected to the action. The primary suite is positioned for privacy and delivers on every front: a spacious bedroom, a generous walk-in closet, and an en suite bath with dual vanities and a beautifully tiled walk-in shower. The second bedroom earns its own moment -- a vaulted ceiling and arched window bring in remarkable natural light and architectural character, with the updated second full bath conveniently nearby. The third bedroom, framed by French doors, rounds out the interior with genuine flexibility -- equally suited as a home office, hobby room, or private retreat -- separated enough from the main living spaces to feel like its own sanctuary, yet still part of the home's natural flow. Then there's the porch. Step through the living room onto the screened-in porch and the pace of the day shifts. Framed in brick and wrapped in greenery, this space looks directly out over the golf course -- a wide, peaceful view that earns its place as one of the home's most valuable features. Whether you're enjoying the morning light or unwinding as the sun drops behind the tree line, this is the kind of spot that turns a house into a home you never want to leave. A tranquil, tree-lined backdrop stretches out beyond the porch, giving the property a sense of openness and privacy that's increasingly rare to find. Behind the gates of Porters Neck Plantation, residents enjoy a full range of amenities: a championship golf course, tennis and pickleball courts, a boat dock, community pools, fitness center, walking trails, picnic areas, and gated security -- a setting designed for both an active lifestyle and the kind of ease that makes every day feel a little more like a retreat. This isn't a home that just looks good -- it's been systematically improved where it counts. New windows installed in 2025 and a roof replaced in 2019 deliver long-term durability and energy efficiency. Crawlspace sealing was completed in early 2026 with new insulation for enhanced comfort. Additional investments include a whole-house water filtration system, an 80-gallon water heater, a buried propane tank for a clean exterior profile, and a new pull-down garage ladder for easy access and storage. These aren't cosmetic touches -- they're the kind of improvements that protect your investment and eliminate the question of what's been done to this house. The answer here is: quite a lot, and all of it matters.
