Beautiful WATER VIEWS immediately set the tone for this sophisticated North Raleigh end-unit townhome, offering the privacy, space and comfort of a single-family home with the ease of low-maintenance living. A rare first-floor owner's suite enjoys serene water views, creating a peaceful private retreat. Fresh interior paint and new carpeting provide a beautifully refreshed feel, while a new roof and new tankless water heater offer additional peace of mind. The building is also scheduled to be painted this year, adding to the property's recent and upcoming improvements. The custom-designed chef's kitchen is a true showpiece, featuring a professional-style stainless steel gas range, a striking stainless steel hood, built-in refrigerator drawers, abundant custom cabinetry and an oversized island with generous prep space and seating. Designed with both cooking and entertaining in mind, the kitchen offers an exceptional combination of function and style. Just off the kitchen, an inviting sitting area with a cozy fireplace creates the perfect spot for morning coffee, casual conversation or relaxing at the end of the day. The light-filled family room features soaring vaulted ceilings and expansive windows overlooking the private courtyard, while elegant hardwood floors flow throughout the main level. A formal dining room provides an ideal setting for holiday gatherings and dinner parties. With 3 bedrooms, 4 full baths and 1 half bath, the home offers exceptional flexibility. The expansive walkout basement is triple insulated for enhanced comfort, energy efficiency and sound reduction and provides an impressive extension of the home's living space. A dedicated theater room and full bath create the perfect setting for movie nights and entertaining, while the additional space can easily accommodate a home office, fitness area, golf simulator or guest retreat. Step outside to enjoy peaceful mornings and beautiful sunsets overlooking the water from the spacious rear deck, or relax in the charming private front courtyard. Additional features include a 2-car garage, generous storage and thoughtful custom finishes throughout. Ideally located in North Raleigh with convenient access to I-540 and I-440, this home is just minutes from North Hills, Whole Foods, Target, premier dining, shopping and everyday conveniences.
