Tucked beneath a canopy of mature hardwoods on 1.69 acres, this mid-century inspired retreat with a private pond offers a rare combination of architectural character, modern updates, and a setting that simply can't be replicated. From the moment you arrive, a gated entrance welcomes you into a quiet, wooded escape where privacy, nature, and design come together effortlessly.

From the moment you arrive, a gated entrance welcomes you into a quiet, wooded escape where privacy, nature, and design come together effortlessly. Inside, the home lives like a classic ranch with warm wood accents, clean lines, and a layout designed to maximize both comfort and connection to the outdoors. Expansive water views stretch across the entire back of the home, with updated sliding doors and windows drawing your eye straight to the pond, while a sprawling deck creates a seamless extension of the living space--ideal for entertaining or simply taking in the stillness of the water and surrounding trees. The primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with rich pine floors and a custom walk-in closet, while additional bedrooms and flexible living areas provide space for guests, work, or multi-generational living. Outside, the lifestyle continues with a private dock, updated steps to the water, and thoughtfully designed outdoor spaces including a firepit area and ambient patio lighting. The home reflects true pride of ownership with meaningful improvements already in place, including a roof replacement with added insulation for enhanced efficiency, updated HVAC systems with air purification, replaced exterior and sliding doors, an upgraded irrigation system, exterior lighting enhancements, and major infrastructure updates such as a recently replaced 40' line to the main line into the septic and multiple water heaters serving different areas of the home . A detached barn/workshop adds versatility for storage, hobbies, or recreational equipment. All of this is set in a highly desirable Raleigh location where you feel completely removed from the pace of the city, yet remain just minutes to everything. This is more than a home-it's a private waterfront setting, a mid-century retreat, and a lifestyle opportunity all in one.
