About 135 S Meyers Ct

What grabs you first at 135 S Meyers Ct is the generous 0.69-acre lot — level, private and large enough for a garden, playground, or future addition. The two-story footprint stretches across 2,274 square feet, marrying practical family spaces with a classic, well-maintained interior. During my tour I noticed the warm contrast between hardwood floors in main living areas and comfortable carpeting upstairs; the living room fireplace anchors the home and creates a natural gathering point for evenings.

The kitchen has been kept current with modern appliances and functional surfaces that serve a busy household. Day-to-day life flows between the kitchen, breakfast area and a formal dining room that still feels intimate despite the house's open, roomy proportions. A practical mudroom and a two-car attached garage make school runs and commutes easier — the driveway provides additional parking for guests.

Upstairs are four bedrooms and two full baths laid out for family convenience and privacy. The primary suite offers a quiet vantage over the large backyard. Bedrooms are generous in size and the layouts allow for flexible uses — office, playroom, or hobby space. Systems are conventional for a 1998 build: central AC, electric heating and an asphalt shingle roof; a home inspection will verify ages and service history.

Outside, the yard is the property’s showpiece. Mature trees and room to roam make it rare for this price bracket within the Raleigh-Cary MSA. The lot invites everything from weekend projects to long-term expansion (zoning R-10 allows single-family use and accessory structures). Despite the semi-rural feel, you’re only a short drive from Downtown Clayton, the Neuse River Greenway, and local parks — an attractive balance for families who want space without sacrificing access to amenities.

This home represents a comfortable, move-in-ready option for buyers who value a large yard, solid floorplan and proximity to highly rated elementary and middle schools. Whether you’re arriving from Raleigh or relocating locally, 135 S Meyers Ct stands out as a practical home with upside — outdoor potential, reliable neighborhood schools, and a location that benefits from Clayton’s steady appreciation and easy commuting corridors.

Market Insights

Clayton’s market is currently balanced, leaning slightly toward sellers in popular price bands for single-family homes. Local data shows a median sale price near $418,700 and inventory hovering around 2.5 months — a level that favors sellers but still allows disciplined buyers room to negotiate. Average days on market in the area is about 35 days, so well-priced, well-maintained homes typically move within a few weeks. Over the past five years Clayton posted roughly 25% appreciation; the most recent 12-month change is modest (around 5%), reflecting steady demand rather than a frenzied spike.

For single-family homes like this one — 4 beds, ~2,274 sqft on a large lot — absorption has been healthy. Comparable recent sales within a half-mile show price-per-square-foot ranges from about $127 to $188, and a conservative valuation midpoint for this property sits near $419,000. Investors can note a rental estimate near $2,100/month (roughly 6.1% gross yield), while owner-occupants will value the long-term appreciation tied to proximity to Raleigh and good local schools. With limited inventory and consistent buyer interest, now is a practical time to consider purchasing a spacious home with development potential in Clayton.
