405 Lady Bug Lane, Wilmington

A Rare Porters Neck Retreat with Space, Privacy, and a Backyard Built for Living Some homes just feel different the moment you walk in -- and 405 Lady Bug Lane is one of them. Tucked into the highly desirable Porters Neck area of Wilmington, this home offers the kind of space, privacy, and lifestyle that is getting harder and harder to find. With approximately 3,200 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, two living rooms, an eat-in kitchen, and a formal dining room, there is room here for everyone to spread out, gather together, host holidays, welcome overnight guests, work from home, or simply breathe a little easier. Inside, the home is warm, functional, and beautifully updated. The kitchen features newer GE stainless steel appliances, including a quad-door refrigerator and double ovens, making everyday meals and holiday hosting feel effortless. The bathrooms have been updated, and the spa-like primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with a beautifully renovated bathroom and fully customized closets. While this home is beautiful, it is also smart. A brand-new HVAC system and whole-home Generac generator offer the comfort, reliability, and peace of mind that buyers deeply appreciate--especially in coastal North Carolina. But the magic of this home may just be waiting outside. Set on nearly a quarter acre surrounded by trees and greenery, the backyard feels like your own private resort. Imagine slow mornings with coffee, summer afternoons in the 12,000-gallon saltwater pool, evenings in the eight-person hot tub, and weekends spent gathering with the people you love. The automatic Sunbrella sunshade, raised garden beds, and dedicated entertaining spaces make the entire outdoor area feel intentional, private, and ready to enjoy. And then there is the large entertaining shed and pergola -- a feature that truly sets this home apart. With power, storage space, and a granite bar top with a serving window, it is already designed for relaxing, hosting, and making the backyard the place everyone wants to be. It could also easily become an incredible outdoor kitchen, poolside bar, garden house, or creative flex space. The sellers bought this home just one year ago because they saw how special it was -- and they have loved living here. The only reason they are selling is because an incredible opportunity has opened for their family to pursue something they have dreamed about for years. Homes like this do not come along often in 28411, especially under $700,000. With this much square footage, privacy, thoughtful updates, major upgrades, and a backyard that feels like a destination, 405 Lady Bug Lane is more than a great house -- it is the kind of home that makes everyday life feel like a getaway.
