Just 8 minutes from Downtown Raleigh, this charming Southern cottage blends city convenience with country serenity—and no HOA. Built by award-winning Paragon Builders, featured in Southern Living Magazine. Set on a spacious, garden-ready lot, the property invites you to slow down, connect with nature, and live life on your own terms. Imagine mornings spent picking fruit from your trees of plums, loquats, figs, persimmons, and blueberries bushes while tending raised garden beds, or collecting fresh eggs from the ready-to-go chicken coop. Inside, enjoy 10' ceilings, gleaming site-finished hardwoods, and an open-concept kitchen with kitchenaid appliances, ample storage and a large island. The main-floor primary suite offers a spa-like bath and walk-in closet. Upstairs features a second bedroom, another room with a closet, a full bath, and spacious loft. Whether you're sipping coffee on the porch or harvesting your cutting garden, this backyard is made for memory-making. And when you're ready for a night out or a taste of the city, Raleigh's world-class dining, arts, and entertainment are just minutes away.This is where charm meets convenience — where nature, nurture, and neighborhood come together.
