Inside the Beltline, this recently renovated 4-bedroom, 3 full-bath home sits on a rare 0.96-acre lot with exceptional privacy. The main living and dining rooms each feature fireplaces and expansive windows that frame views of the surrounding natural landscape. A redesigned gourmet kitchen offers stainless steel appliances and updated finishes, ideal for both daily living and entertaining. Recent improvements include all new windows, updated lighting, new front and rear doors, new front steps, fresh interior and exterior paint, refinished hardwood floors, and abundant closet space throughout. The partially finished lower level includes a full bath and provides flexible space well-suited for an in-law suite, family room, or home office. An additional unfinished area offers excellent storage and an ideal workshop location. The long, winding circular driveway creates a striking entrance with ample parking. Outdoor living is enhanced by a side deck with fireplace and a separate outdoor fireplace at the rear of the home--perfect for cooler evenings. The deep, wooded lot offers a private, peaceful setting rarely found this close to the city. No HOA. Ideally located near NC State University, The Village District, shopping, dining, healthcare, and cultural destinations, and just two miles from downtown Raleigh with easy access to I-440 and I-40.
