*Now offered below appraised value* Lovingly cared for by the same family since 1986, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath two-story traditional sits on a private, wooded .32-acre lot in North Raleigh and is ready for its next chapter. A two-owner home where the sellers raised their family and made decades of memories, it offers great bones and a layout built for everyday living. The home also features a brand-new HVAC system. A covered entry opens to a hardwood foyer and a staircase with turned balusters. The great room features a floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace and wood wainscoting, with French doors to the large multi-level deck overlooking the trees. The formal dining room offers hardwood floors and crown and chair-rail molding. The eat-in kitchen has plenty of wood cabinetry, tile countertops, a window over the sink, plantation shutters, and a breakfast area with views of the backyard. The three bedrooms are generously sized with ceiling fans, and the baths offer double vanities and good storage. A large unfinished basement/workshop provides excellent storage and future-finishing potential, and the drive-under two-car garage adds convenience. Outside, mature trees and established landscaping surround the home, and a charming stream runs along the back of the property — a peaceful, private setting just minutes from shopping, dining, and major commuter routes. A special home full of character and possibility, waiting for someone to make it their own.
