Tucked near the end of a quiet street in Garner's Bingham Station neighborhood, this updated 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers 1,755 square feet of comfortable living space and a backyard setup that feels far beyond what buyers typically expect at this price point. Step outside into a fully fenced, custom-designed outdoor retreat. Built for entertaining, the yard features an expansive stone paver patio, a built-in outdoor cooking area, custom pergola seating, and a covered cabana-style lounge space. Whether you're hosting friends, enjoying a fire pit evening, or making the most of a quiet night at home, this is the kind of outdoor living space that would be difficult and expensive to recreate. Inside, the home lives bright and open, with high ceilings, a functional main-level flow, a spacious kitchen, and a large primary suite with cathedral ceilings, dual vanities, and a walk-in closet. Additional highlights include a 2-car garage and a convenient Garner location minutes from White Oak Crossing shopping and dining, with easy access to I-40, US-70, and Downtown Raleigh. This isn't just a starter home -- it's a lifestyle upgrade with one of the most compelling backyard setups you'll find under $400k.
