Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this 3,000 sf brick home offers the kind of everyday practicality that's getting harder to find. With no HOA and no city taxes, you'll have a little more freedom and a few more dollars staying in your pocket. And that's never a bad thing! Inside, high ceilings, new windows in 2024, and an open floor plan make the home feel bright and comfortable. The kitchen and baths have already been updated, and the primary bedroom is conveniently located on the main floor. Upstairs, the large bonus room over the garage has been outfitted with new wood floors and is ready to become whatever fits your life best: a home office, overflow sleeping space for guests, an entertainment room, or perhaps the perfect home for your collection of vintage video arcade games. If you've been wishing for a place to spread out, you'll appreciate the oversized three-bay workshop wired to accommodate welding equipment, and a 220 outlet; ideal for woodworking, restoring a classic car, gardening projects, hobbies, or simply having enough room to store the things that don't belong in the house. Pop a window unit into the attached garage, making it a surprisingly flexible space for workouts, an art studio, a workshop extension, or even a comfortable retreat for your four-legged sidekick, and of course your vehicles. Out back, a charming patio offers an easy spot for coffee, dinner, or winding down at the end of the day under patio lights that won't outshine the stars. The location strikes a nice balance between convenience and breathing room. You're just a few miles from NC State University, downtown Raleigh, Dorothea Dix Park, the NC State Farmer's Market, grocery stores, and everyday essentials, so forgotten ingredients aren't much of a detour. When it's time to get outside, Kentwood Park, Pullen Park, and Lake Johnson Park are all within about three miles, offering trails, playgrounds, and plenty of places to stretch your legs. Let's face it, this is exactly what you've been looking for. So, come say, "hello".
