Dutch Colonial with Saltwater Pool and Two Primary Suites
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.

A factual market snapshot around 213 W Stevens St.
Smithfield's market currently reads as balanced with a modest advantage to buyers who target well-updated, move-in-ready homes. Average days on market in the area runs around 108 days, signaling steady demand but longer listing periods than nearby hot markets. The median sale price in the area is reported at approximately $374,428, though this property, given its size, upgrades and pool, tracks higher: valuation analysis places a reasonable market range between $550,000 and $600,000, with a midpoint near $575,000 and an assessed value of $614,950. Single-family homes with features like multiple primary suites and outdoor amenities continue to command buyer interest in Smithfield; pool and multigenerational-friendly floorplans are relatively scarce, which can help differentiate this listing. Inventory levels are limited in the immediate neighborhood; buyers who require specific layout attributes may find this a timely opportunity. Sellers should price competitively and stage key outdoor spaces; buyers should leverage inspection contingencies and local DOM trends when negotiating.
