Rarely available in the desirable Berkley Farms neighborhood, this 0.647-acre lot is a true private retreat — mature trees, a peaceful Church Ditch border, and an open 36-acre pasture beyond create a country feel that's genuinely hard to find within the city. No HOA, and yes — horses are welcome. If you'd prefer not to board on-site, the Bridledale Undevelopment Corporation offers horse boarding and care with full access to the 36-acre pasture. The South facing solid brick split-level has been lovingly maintained by the same family for over 40 years, offering a wonderful foundation for renovation and customization. The main level features an open concept living area with wood flooring, a wood-burning fireplace, and a covered entry porch that welcomes you home. Four bedrooms, two baths, and an oversized two-car garage provide plenty of space, while a covered rear patio overlooks your backyard sanctuary. The basement level includes a wood stove with a separate exterior entrance, offering flexibility for how you use the space. Recent updates include a Class 4 impact-resistant shingle roof (approximately 5 years) and gutters (approximately 2 years). All of this just minutes from Standley Lake, Two Ponds Wildlife Refuge, the Apex Recreation Center, Standley Lake Library, parks, trails, great schools, and everyday shopping and dining.
