A full acre with no HOA in Wake Forest is a rare find, and that's exactly what makes 8424 Portmarnock Court stand out. Situated on 1.05 wooded acres in the established Paddstowe community, this property offers the space and flexibility that many buyers are searching for but seldom find this close to town, with no city taxes. Whether you envision a workshop, expanded gardens, additional storage buildings, a greenhouse, or simply more room to enjoy the outdoors, this property provides possibilities that are becoming increasingly difficult to find.
Inside, the home offers 2,365 square feet of living space with three bedrooms plus a bonus room and two-and-a-half bathrooms. The living areas are centered around a cozy fireplace, creating a warm gathering space, while the screened porch and two decks provide a natural extension of the home into the surrounding landscape. The kitchen and bathrooms have been thoughtfully maintained, custom built-ins throughout the home add both function and character, and the attached two-car garage offers ample space for parking, storage, or hobbies.
The outdoor setting is where this property truly shines. Over the years, the owners have created an impressive garden and outdoor living environment featuring deer-fenced raised garden beds with irrigation, mature wisteria-covered pergolas, a 12×16 storage shed, a greenhouse for year-round growing, and a stone fire pit nestled among the trees. Mature hardwoods surround the property, providing privacy, shade, and beautiful views throughout the seasons. The established landscape offers a sense of character and seclusion that is often difficult to replicate in newer developments.
Conveniently located with easy access to I-540, downtown Wake Forest, and North Raleigh, the property offers the opportunity to enjoy a more private setting without sacrificing accessibility to shopping, dining, parks, and everyday conveniences. For buyers seeking space, flexibility, and a property that offers both privacy and potential, 8424 Portmarnock Court presents a unique opportunity in today's market.
