Property Description

Set on a private, wooded 0.51-acre lot, this Clayton property offers something increasingly hard to find--space, flexibility, and value without compromise. Just minutes to Flowers Plantation and Downtown Clayton, you'll enjoy the convenience of it all... without the burden of city taxes. Inside, the story is space. Nearly 3,200 square feet filled with an abundance of rooms designed to adapt to real life--multiple living areas, generous bedrooms, and flexible spaces that can evolve with your needs. Whether you're upsizing, working from home, or simply tired of feeling cramped, this layout gives you room to breathe. What truly sets this home apart is its character and customization. A standout walk-in pantry built for function and organization. A primary closet that feels more like a dressing room. A tucked-away ''hobbit room'' under the stairs that adds charm and creativity. And a walk-out unfinished basement/crawl space offering incredible storage, or workshop potential. The kitchen anchors the home with ample cabinetry and prep space, while the primary suite delivers the comfort you expect--room to unwind with sitting area, dual sinks, soaking tub, and separate shower. Step outside and you'll find a peaceful, wooded backdrop--your own private escape--perfect for quiet mornings or evenings on the deck. Major updates provide peace of mind, including a 2023 roof, HVAC systems replaced in 2023 and 2024, fresh interior paint, and new carpet. Enjoy neighborhood amenities including a community pool, along with quick access to Raleigh, shopping, dining, parks, and the Neuse River Trail. If you've been searching for a home that offers more space, more personality, and more value for the price--this is the one that deserves a second look.
