A rare near-acre lot and classic brick facade give this North Raleigh colonial immediate curb appeal. Step inside to hardwood floors through most of the first floor and a gracious family room with high ceilings and a gas-log fireplace. The updated eat-in kitchen is built for everyday life and entertaining — quartz countertops, center island, tile backsplash, double ovens and a gas cooktop — flowing easily to a vaulted screened porch and an expansive deck that overlook a private, wooded backyard with fire pit and chicken coop.
The home’s layout works for multiple lifestyles. A large primary suite on the second floor offers a walk-in closet and an upgraded bath with dual vanities, separate shower and a freestanding claw-foot tub. There’s a versatile bonus room with separate back stairs, a formal dining room for gatherings, and a first-floor guest suite that’s perfect for extended family or a home office. Plantation shutters, tile and hardwood finishes, and thoughtfully updated fixtures give the home a lived-in, well-maintained feel.
Outdoor living is a standout: nearly one acre of mature trees provides privacy unusual for this part of Raleigh, while the screened porch, large deck and dedicated fire-pit area create multiple entertaining zones. Memberships to the Wood Valley Swim & Racquet Club are available for those who want neighborhood pool and tennis amenities. Convenient to Umstead State Park, I-540, RDU and the Research Triangle Park corridor, this home balances a secluded yard with easy access to Raleigh’s major employment and recreation hubs.
Practical items to note: community water is connected, the property uses a septic system (inspection recommended), and the oversized two-car garage plus driveway provide ample parking. This home shows well and is priced to reflect its size, condition and exceptional lot. Schedule a private showing to experience the scale and privacy in person.
