About the property
Single-level Ranch on Nearly Half-Acre with Detached Garage
What sets this ranch apart is the land: nearly a half-acre of flat, fully fenced yard that opens from a large screened porch and adjoining grilling deck. At 1,183 square feet the floorplan feels larger than the numbers suggest thanks to vaulted ceilings and fresh interior paint that brighten the living spaces. Arrive to a family room anchored by a working fireplace — a comfortable gathering point that connects to the kitchen and dining area for everyday living.
The kitchen is honest and practical with white appliances, ample cabinetry and an incorporated laundry area for convenience. The primary suite is a private, single-level retreat; two additional bedrooms share a well-appointed full bath and provide flexible space for guests, home office, or hobby rooms. Throughout the home the clean lines and neutral palette make personalizing effortless.
Outdoor living is a highlight here. The screened porch and grilling deck step down to a generous backyard that invites gardening, play, or room for a future pool—while the detached two-car garage provides covered parking and workshop potential away from the main house. Mature trees and a flat lot give the feeling of privacy uncommon in close-in commuter towns.
Located in Knightdale and offered at $275,000, this ranch-style home is an appealing option for first-time buyers, downsizers, or anyone seeking single-level living with a substantial yard and easy access to Raleigh—about a 15-minute drive to downtown. The practical layout, tidy condition, and outdoor amenities make this a move-in-ready opportunity on an exceptional lot.
