NO HOA! Tucked away on .74 acres just minutes from downtown Raleigh, this unique property offers the perfect balance of privacy, nature, and convenience. Surrounded by mature trees and overlooking a peaceful pond, the setting feels like a private retreat while still providing easy access to major roads, shopping, dining, and everything the city has to offer. The back of the home was designed to capture the view, with the primary suite, living room, and kitchen all overlooking the water. Enjoy quiet mornings with coffee or unwind in the evening on the spacious patio, with easy access to the pond just beyond the backyard. Inside, the open-concept living, dining, and kitchen areas create a comfortable space for everyday living or entertaining. The living room features a cozy gas fireplace, while the primary suite offers cathedral ceilings, a soaking tub, dual vanity, and an oversized walk-in closet. Fresh updates throughout and all appliances included make the home move-in ready. Additional features include a 2-car garage and unfinished walk-up attic space, offering excellent potential for future expansion, a bonus room, or additional storage. Homes offering this combination of land, water views, privacy and proximity to downtown Raleigh rarely come available.
