Come experience your own private retreat and you'll never want to leave. While this country setting is 4.45 acres, it is a short commute to Raleigh, Durham, RTP and RDU with easy highway access. This home has many updates and has been well cared for! When you enter the property through the long secluded driveway, you'll find a barn style home, a beautiful landscape, and plenty of open space for garden, play or pets. Enjoy summer days in your saltwater in-ground pool or evenings relaxing in the hot tub (all pool equipment conveys including the Dolphin robotic cleaner and pool cover). This property backs up to Army Corps of Engineer land next to Falls Lake, so no one can build behind you. No HOA with the closest neighbors being the occasional deer, heron, or eagle. This 4 bedroom home (only a 3 bedroom septic permit) has 3.5 baths, all the modern conveniences, and the architecture (great room with masonry fireplace/ chimney, numerous tall windows for nature views, newly refinished pine flooring in the main areas) that takes you to a place of peace and quiet. The first floor primary suite is spacious with a private deck to access delightful outdoor views. The front entrance has a covered porch where you can meet guests or simply observe the fish pond (containing Japanese Koi) while listening to the soothing ripple of the waterfall. The multiple large decks (with Trex flooring) offer plenty of entertaining space and views of the pool and nature. The guest bedroom on the first floor has it's own bathroom. 2 upstairs bedrooms are spacious, have large closets, and offer amazing views. Park by the side entrance or inside your oversized two car garage, which has a finished bonus room/ office above. This 500 sq ft of additional space is not included in the overall square footage as it is detached from the home and was finished by the prior owners without a permit. Walk to the nearby Cedar Creek Gallery! Whole house water softener and UV water filter included. Hot tub, kitchen refrigerator, washer, and dryer are included in the price of the home. Yard has just been aerated and seeded along with lime.
