Parade of Homes award-winning and thoughtfully upgraded well beyond the neighborhood's standard finishes, this Phase One beauty offers quality craftsmanship, recent major improvements, and an outstanding location within the neighborhood of Lakestone Village. This is one of the community's quietest and prettiest streets, with rear-entry garages and alleys on both sides, so on-street parking is uncommon. A custom wood front door opens to an interior featuring solid oak hardwood floors with matching wood vents, extensive crown moulding, wainscoting and chair rails, a coffered dining room ceiling and multiple transom windows that bring in abundant natural light. The family room is anchored by a fireplace with a beautiful custom mantel, surround and built-in cabinetry. The kitchen combines style and function with rustic farmhouse cabinetry, glass display cabinets, a white cast iron sink, and range with air fry and convection capabilities. Upstairs, the spacious loft provides excellent flex space for a media room, playroom, or second living area, while a separate office with built-in desk and shelving offers a dedicated workspace. An impressive 33' x 8' walk-in storage space provides the kind of storage that's hard to find. Outside, enjoy a welcoming front porch with brick steps and tongue-and-groove ceiling, plus a large screened porch overlooking the fenced backyard with a paver patio and refreshed landscaping. The detached rear-entry two-car garage is complemented by a parking pad with space for two additional vehicles. Major updates include a new roof (2023), new upstairs and downstairs HVAC systems (2023), rear landscaping (2024), new induction range and refrigerator (2025), and new front sod (2026). Additional features include Ecobee smart thermostats and Rain Bird programmable irrigation serving both the front and back yards. Lakestone Village is one of Fuquay-Varina's hidden gems. You're just minutes from Main Street, local favorites including Cultivate Coffee and Duke's Taphouse, the new Target, and the shops, restaurants, parks, splash pad, and events in the distinct downtowns of both Fuquay and Varina. Best of all, the community pool and playground are only about 100 yards from your front door.
