New interior paint throughout in 2026, including walls, trim, ceilings, and cabinetry, refinished hardwood floors in 2026, first floor HVAC gas pack replaced in November 2024, second floor HVAC replaced in 2025, Rinnai tankless water heater installed in 2025, roof replaced in 2022, oven, microwave, and stove replaced in 2019, Bosch dishwasher installed in 2023, sealed crawlspace, and termite warranty. This rare location offers the best of both worlds: a quiet retreat where you can relax on the screened porch, enjoy the birds, and occasionally watch deer, while still being just minutes from North Hills, Crabtree Valley Mall, Downtown Raleigh, and I-440 for easy access around the Triangle and RDU airport. The main level features a spacious first-floor primary suite with two walk-in closets, newly installed carpet, and easy everyday living. The dramatic two-story family room is filled with natural light and opens seamlessly to the kitchen, creating an inviting flow for both entertaining and comfortable daily living. The screened porch overlooks the private backyard and offers a peaceful place to unwind. Upstairs, the home offers three generously sized bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a large bonus room with windows and a large closet, plus a separate dedicated office or craft room. The bonus room provides excellent flexibility and may serve as an additional bedroom, guest space, media room, playroom, or second living area. With a first-floor primary suite, flexible living spaces, private fenced backyard, screened porch, direct greenway access to Shelley Lake, and major recent updates, this move-in-ready home offers a rare blend of privacy, convenience, comfort, and long-term value in the heart of Raleigh.
