303 South Bend Dr, Knightdale, NC 27545

This single-story ranch on South Bend Drive stands out for its generous, private lot — roughly 0.46 acres — a rare offering in Ashley Hills. Approaching the home you’ll notice the wide lawn and mature landscaping that frame a detached two-car garage and a welcoming screened porch. Inside, vaulted ceilings open the main living area and create airy sightlines to the fireplace and recently refreshed paint palette.

The 1,183 SF floorplan is efficient and comfortable: a clearly zoned living area with a brick fireplace anchors daily life, while the kitchen and dining zone open to the screened porch, making indoor-outdoor entertaining effortless. Three bedrooms share two full baths; the primary suite provides straightforward access to the backyard for morning coffee or evening stargazing. Recent updates and good overall condition mean this home is ready for immediate occupancy while still offering clear potential for personalization or expansion on the large lot.

Outdoor space is a standout here. The level backyard provides room for gardeners, a play area, or a future addition; zoning (R-20) allows accessory dwelling units, giving buyers flexibility for guest space or rental income subject to town approvals. The detached garage is a practical bonus — ideal for a workshop, storage, or vehicle parking separate from the main house.

Location is quietly convenient. Knightdale’s growth shows in nearby conveniences: Knightdale Station Park (≈1.5 miles), Shoppes at Midway Plantation (≈2 miles) and WakeMed Knightdale Healthplex (≈2.5 miles) are all short drives. The Neuse River Trail is within about three miles for weekend rides or runs. Combined with central AC, forced-air heat, a shingle roof, and public utilities, this property blends suburban ease with strong access to the Raleigh-Cary MSA.

From an ownership perspective, the home has moved recently (sold March 2025 for $287,000) and sits near market value estimates of $275K–$295K. That track record, the large lot and detached garage make 303 South Bend Dr a compelling buy for downsizers, first-time homeowners seeking land, or investors targeting steady Knightdale demand. Important next steps: verify condition of major systems (roof, HVAC) and confirm lot boundaries and any HOA or town requirements prior to contract.
