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.
