Property Description

Tucked beneath mature hardwoods on a private 0.51-acre lot, this thoughtfully designed Clayton home offers the rare combination of creativity, comfort, and room to truly live. Nearly 3,200 square feet unfolds with intention—spaces to gather, retreat, work, and play—making it ideal for a growing or move-up family seeking entry-level luxury at an exceptional value. Personality shines throughout, from the painted staircase and statement lighting to the incredible custom walk-in pantry and one-of-a-kind primary closet. The kitchen anchors daily life with abundant cabinetry, generous prep space, and a refrigerator that conveys (plus a second refrigerator in the garage), while a dedicated first-floor laundry room adds everyday ease. The spacious primary suite feels like a true retreat, offering room for a sitting area, dual closets, dual sinks, a soaking tub, and separate shower. Flexible bonus and flex spaces adapt effortlessly to a home office, playroom, library, or homework zone. Outdoors, the oversized deck with rail lighting and sun sail overlooks a peaceful, wooded backyard—perfect for entertaining or unwinding after a long day. Storage lovers will appreciate the walk-in basement/crawl space, enclosed workshop beneath the deck, built-in shelving in garage and workspace areas, and even a whimsical ''hobbit door'' tucked under the stairs. 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—this is a home that invites your family to settle in, spread out, and stay awhile.
