This 1-acre property blends privacy, flexibility, and modern comfort with generous living space inside and out. The main level features an updated kitchen with contemporary finishes, two renovated full bathrooms, and beautifully refreshed interiors. The open layout connects seamlessly to multiple decks and a screened-in porch that invites you to enjoy the surrounding trees and greenery.

This space includes a full kitchen, living room, office/flex space, large bedroom, a fully updated bathroom, washer & dryer, brand-new flooring, and a spacious unfinished section that can serve as a workshop, gym, or storage area. Throughout the home, the interior has been freshly painted and deep cleaned, and the recent improvements continue with a new roof (10/18/25) for long-term peace of mind. The fully-fenced front and partially-fenced side yard provide both safety and charm, creating a secure area for pets or children to play. This home offers the rare combination of privacy, convenience, and versatility. Enjoy the tranquility of mature trees while staying close to shopping, dining, and everything Raleigh has to offer, but without the city taxes.
