213 W Stevens St, Smithfield, NC 27577

What first captures attention at 213 W Stevens St is the backyard: an inground saltwater pool framed by an expansive patio and covered outdoor living area that turns summer evenings into a private retreat. Set on a nearly half-acre, this Dutch Colonial blends gracious, traditional proportions with thoughtful updates — including a remodeled kitchen finished with quartz countertops, soft-close cabinetry, a tile backsplash and a bright breakfast nook that serves as the home's casual gathering spot.

Inside, more than 3,800 square feet of living space unfolds with extensive hardwood floors, two distinct primary suites and flexible bonus rooms that adapt to multiple household needs. One primary suite sits on the main level for one-floor living or long-term guests; the second primary is upstairs, creating true multigenerational convenience. Beyond bedrooms, a large private office and additional bonus rooms provide quiet work-from-home zones, media space, or play areas.

The house is organized for everyday comfort and entertaining. A formal living area and substantial dining room reside alongside informal family spaces, while a practical mudroom and two-car attached garage simplify arrival routines. Mechanical comforts include central air with a heat pump and forced-air heating. Exterior durability is enhanced by fiber cement siding and a shingle roof; a storage shed and outdoor shower add utility for pool days and garden projects.

Location is a quiet advantage: Crestwood Acres offers level lots and residential streets within a short stroll of South Smithfield Elementary (0.3 miles). Cultural and recreational options are nearby — the Ava Gardner Museum and Buffalo Creek Greenway are both within roughly one to one-and-a-half miles — and the property sits inside the larger Raleigh-Durham-Cary MSA for commuting options. With thoughtful renovations, two full primary suites, and a private pool-oriented yard, this property is well-suited for families, multigenerational households, or anyone seeking space and privacy close to downtown Smithfield.

Crestwood Acres is a residential enclave in Smithfield that pairs mature yards and mid-century homes with easy access to downtown amenities. Families appreciate the short walk to South Smithfield Elementary and proximity to Buffalo Creek Greenway for weekend walks and bike rides. The neighborhood sits within Johnston County's county seat, offering small-town civic life, local restaurants, and cultural stops like the Ava Gardner Museum. Commuters benefit from the property’s position inside the Raleigh-Durham-Cary MSA while enjoying quieter suburban streets and larger lots than closer-in suburbs.
