Additional highlights include a detached garage with its own kitchenette, sink and water heater, ideal for a workshop, hobby space, or extra storage. Plus a vinyl-sided storage building, a dog lot with kennel access, and a long list of major updates. Minutes from Crossroads, WakeMed Cary, RDU and downtown Raleigh, 5109 Swift Ridge Rd offers the rare combination of privacy, land, and convenience. A true one-of-a-kind property ready for its next chapter.
