This area truly is the BEST KEPT SECRET in Fuquay! Situated on a generous .86-acre lot, this thoughtfully designed home offers true first-floor living -- with the bonus flexibility of an upstairs retreat when you need it. At the front of the home, a dedicated office creates the perfect work-from-home setup. The GOURMET KITCHEN is built for both everyday life and entertaining, featuring QUARTZ countertops, a large island, tile backsplash, PREP PANTRY with extra cabinetry and counterspace, and beautiful wood shelving.

Additional peace of mind comes with a fully ENCAPSULATED CRAWLSPACE. All of this just 6 miles to downtown Fuquay and 9 miles to downtown Holly Springs -- close to everything, yet tucked away on nearly an acre.
