Calling all first-time buyers, savvy investors, and anyone tired of paying rent! AND seller will pay $5,000 of the buyer's closing costs! This charming ranch is serving up wraparound porch vibes, perfect for morning coffee, evening unwinding, or waving to neighbors like you've lived here forever. Inside, the open layout keeps the good times flowing--from a spacious family room right into a beautifully updated kitchen featuring stainless steel appliances, an induction range (because you're fancy now), tile backsplash, and soft-close cabinets that won't slam even if you try. Stainless steel refrigerator conveys! With 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths, there's room to spread out, host guests, or finally claim that home office. Bonus points for the fully encapsulated walk-in crawlspace--clean, dry, and not at all creepy--and a screened deck. Out back, you've got a shed for storage and extra parking space ready for your RV, boat, or that ''someday'' project. All this in a super convenient location close to shopping, dining, and everything Raleigh has to offer. Available fully furnished if you want to skip the heavy lifting--just bring your suitcase (or your first tenant)! No HOA!
