Do you want to live in the center of convenience and have more than a half acre of what feels like quiet and peaceful country living? Finding a spacious, half-acre property with no city taxes usually means sacrificing a quick commute, but this home offers the best of both worlds. Enjoy a prime location just 15 minutes from Downtown Raleigh and hot spots like Gateway Plaza. You can experience a vibrant local lifestyle down the street from Raleigh favorites like Union Special and Mala Pata-freshly celebrated with its MICHELIN Bib Gourmand status-or comfort food staples like Cook Out. Plus, you are just minutes from major highways, including I-40, I-440, US-87, and I-540. This classic one-level ranch provides excellent peace of mind with both the roof and HVAC replaced in 2020, along with energy-efficient vinyl windows that flood the space with natural light. Inside, the 3-bedroom layout features original hardwood floors and a freshly painted interior that creates a clean, customizable canvas. The efficient kitchen features crisp white cabinetry, ample storage, and newer stainless steel appliances (stove 2022, dishwasher 2026)-plus the washer (2026) and dryer convey! Right off the kitchen, a new main deck is ready for al fresco dining and overlooks your private, spacious lot. The floor plan offers excellent flexibility with a central family room surrounded by windows to maximize the views, plus an adaptable space perfect for either a formal dining room or a dedicated home office. Elegant French doors lead out to a second private deck, offering another vantage point to enjoy your park-like setting, complete with old-growth trees and mature pines. All three bedrooms continue with the classic hardwood flooring, and the walk-in crawlspace with a concrete slab is ideal for a hobby workshop. With the major big-ticket items already updated, this property gives you the rare freedom to build equity, enjoy a spacious lot, and stay connected to the heartbeat of Raleigh without paying city taxes.
