Great North Raleigh Location with NO HOA Dues! Spacious home offering a first-floor primary suite and backyard sanctuary. The main living areas feature beautiful hardwood flooring. The open vaulted family room is highlighted by a stone-profile see-through fireplace that opens to the dining room. The home also features several new upgrades, including lighting, adding a fresh touch throughout. The kitchen has been beautifully enhanced with upgraded cabinetry featuring soft-close drawers, granite countertops, tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances. The large first-floor primary suite includes a walk-in closet and a beautifully renovated bath with a tiled walk-in shower. An updated half bath adds another stylish and convenient touch to the main level. Upstairs you'll find two nicely sized bedrooms, a versatile loft/office area, and convenient walk-in storage. Enjoy the three-season room, providing additional space for entertaining or relaxing while overlooking the backyard. Step outside to a beautiful, fenced backyard filled with established plants and mature landscaping. With no homes directly behind you, the backyard offers a wonderful sense of privacy.
