Sprawling 0.72-Acre Ranch with Vaulted Ceilings and Screened Porch
What immediately distinguishes 115 Edmondson Drive is the yard: a level, 0.72-acre parcel with roughly 211 feet of frontage that gives this single-story ranch a sense of space you rarely find so close to town. The footprint of the house—1,656 square feet—sits comfortably centered on the lot, leaving room for garden beds, play areas, or a future addition without sacrificing privacy.
Step inside and the vaulted ceilings in the family room and master suite define the interior experience, creating generous volume and an airy feel across the living spaces. The heart of the home includes granite countertops and functional cabinetry; a working fireplace anchors the family room and makes this floorplan flexible for both everyday living and weekend entertaining. The layout keeps the three bedrooms and two bathrooms on a single level for true ranch-style convenience.
Outdoor living is a clear advantage here: an expansive deck plus a screened porch extend your usable season and connect directly to the backyard. Parking is simple with a large asphalt driveway and a covered 2-car carport. Utilities are practical for this setting—public water, septic, and electric provided by Duke Energy—while the RAG zoning allows residential and agricultural uses and no HOA restrictions mean flexibility for future improvements.
The neighborhood, Edmondson Place, blends a rural feel with commuter-friendly access: NC-42 is about a half-mile away and I‑40 is within a 10–12 minute drive, making downtown Raleigh and regional employment centers reachable. Families will note proximity to highly rated elementary and middle schools; the high school rating is average, but overall this pocket has seen strong demand from buyers seeking yard space and good schools. Built in 2001 and maintained in good condition, the home offers a solid opportunity for buyers looking for move-in readiness with clear upside—whether you want immediate family living or a property to enhance over time.

A factual market snapshot around 115 Edmondson Dr.
Willow Spring is currently a balanced-to-leaning-seller market. Local metrics show about 2.5 months of inventory and an average days-on-market near 30 — figures that typically benefit well-priced single-family homes. Median sale price in the area sits around $356,250, with one-year appreciation of roughly 5% and a five-year gain near 20%, reflecting steady demand for suburban lots and larger yards. Recent nearby ranch sales within 0.5 miles ranged from approximately $306K to $349K, and comparables suggest this property aligns with a $340K–$370K range; our valuation midpoint is $355,000.
Single-story ranches with large lots perform well here because they attract both families and buyers seeking ground-level living and expansion potential. Inventory remains tight compared with more urban markets, so sellers who present homes in good condition often see inquiries quickly; the neighborhood’s average of ~30 DOM indicates properties priced correctly will move within weeks. For buyers, this is a strong time to act if you value yard size and school proximity—competitive but not overheated—and for investors the local rental comps imply steady demand (estimated rent ~ $1,900/mo and ~6.4% gross yield). Verify systems and complete inspections, but market signals point to a resilient local market with reasonable upside.
