Coffee on the wraparound porch, deer cutting quietly across the back edge of the yard, and a backyard that actually gives you room to live.


This 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home with 3,149 square feet on 0.75 acres leans into that upscale country cottage feel without sacrificing function. Double front doors open to hard pine floors, crown molding, and a living room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace with decorative beams overhead. It's warm and real.


The layout avoids the usual ''one big box.'' You get a true mix: a large family room, a separate dining or flex room, and an oversized breakfast/keeping room off the kitchen that's big enough to keep people there. The kitchen works hard--GE Profile induction range, Whirlpool Gold refrigerator, quartz counters, two pantries (one with pull-out drawers and dedicated appliance storage), multiple drawer banks, and cabinet access from all sides. Everything has a place.


Tucked near the side entry, a main-level office stays connected without sitting in the middle of everything--functional, quiet, and easy to use daily. Upstairs, all four bedrooms are positioned together, including a primary suite with a walk-in closet with built-in shelving and a remodeled bath featuring a glass-enclosed walk-in shower, marble counter, and upgraded tile finishes. Storage doesn't disappear after that--walk-in closet in a secondary bedroom, built-ins throughout, a large linen closet, and a deep coat closet near the foyer.


Then there's the wildcard: a driveway setup that handles multiple cars, with room for a boat or camper, plus a roughly 30x30 attached garage with 11-foot ceilings. Above it, a massive bonus room connects to a front flex space with built-ins. With its own dedicated HVAC system, this entire zone works however you need--studio, gym, second office, or full overflow living. It's the kind of setup that allows you to live larger.


Out back, the deck stretches across the rear with French door access, overlooking a flat grassy yard that intentionally keeps a natural edge--complete with a deer path. There's also external access storage area by the side entrance, a large, detached shed (approx. 12 x 12), and a defined dog pen area.


Location-wise, you're within reach of Trader Joe's and great restaurants (~ 3 mins), Shelley Lake Park (~ 10 min), Crabtree Mall (~ 10 min), North Hills (~ 18 min), and RDU Airport (~ 16 min).


This is the kind of house that adapts as your life gets bigger--and keeps up. Come walk it in person. The bonus space alone will change how you think about what ''enough room'' means.
