Freshly painted and move-in ready, this is the North Raleigh opportunity buyers have been waiting for! Set on 1.16 wooded acres at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac with no HOA, this 3-bed, 2.5-bath home with a 2-car garage delivers space, privacy, and serious value under $600K. The lot itself is a rare find: mature trees surround the property, creating a naturally private, rustic retreat that feels worlds away from the everyday, yet requires little maintenance. Deer are regularly spotted wandering through, adding a touch of wildlife charm. And when you are ready to venture out, everything you need is nearby. The neighborhood is walkable to shopping and dining, including Trader Joe's, making everyday errands as effortless as the setting is serene. The big-ticket updates are already done: roof (2021), heat pump (2019), mini-split (2024), all-new windows and doors with integrated blinds (2024), and a crawl space with dehumidifier (2024). The garage and upper level were permitted additions; the seller finished the upper level with carpet, drywall, and conveniently relocated laundry. Kitchen and baths have been renovated throughout. Two driveways, one paved in front and one gravel in the rear, give you the parking and storage flexibility most buyers don't find until after they've settled for less. The finished bonus space adapts to whatever your life needs most: office, gym, playroom, or media room. Schedule your showing today!
