You know we love an all-brick ranch with a basement nestled in one of my favorite spots in Raleigh! Conveniently located in between NC State and Downtown Cary in 27606! This one is for my bee lovers - the front yard has been converted to a meadow with native pollinator plants and meandering paths! The owners didn't want to maintain grass and figured this benefited all species ;) And the backyard has extensive vegetable and herb gardens, literally a farmers market in your backyard. Rain barrels make watering a breeze and the carnivorous garden keeps pesky bugs to a minimum. Energy efficient upgrade with all windows being replaced and electrical panel has been upgraded. Original restored hardwoods offer a warm and inviting presence in your soon to be new home. Easily create the spaces how you'll use them with two large main areas accented by a masonry fireplace. The kitchen offers an efficient u U-shaped design with easy access to all spaces and the covered carport area. The basement has a new patio door that leads out to a quiet sanctuary! The bonus room is great space for a quiet studio or hang-out den for friends. You'll still have another area for a home office plus walk-in storage! Back upstairs each bedroom has amazing sunlight and the guest rooms share a bath that is perfectly vintage while the primary bedroom has a bath en-suite. Easily access Powell Drive Park with community center, tennis and basketball courts + a playground & trails or head to Lake Johnson to enjoy the plethora of programs they offer plus a community pool! The updates, large yard, and the amazing location make this West Raleigh home purchase a no-brainer.
