Showings start Friday, photos and virtual tour coming soon! Set back among the trees, this property gives you a rare combination in Raleigh: space to breathe and room for animals, without giving up a real neighborhood feel. From the moment you pull into the driveway, this home invites you in. The front porch is begging you to stay a while. Stop and enjoy the views from the swing: privacy, mature trees and the 1.53 acre lot. You may spot the neighbors moving their horses between neighborhood trails or pastures. Inside, the main floor offers a bedroom and full bath -- great for guests, in-laws, or one-level living down the road. The kitchen's expansive counter space makes meal prep easy with plenty of work space to spread out. The formal living room looks out over the wooded yard. It could also function well as a home office, a game room (mahjong anyone?) or additional living space. Upstairs, three bedrooms have generous closet space. The primary suite is spacious with an updated bath and his and hers walk-in closets. The hidden surprise in this home is a partial basement that is unfinished but very usable. It stays temperate year-round, so it can provide storage, a workshop, a place for a ping pong table , a home gym, or whatever you need it to be. The 2-car garage has an expansive walk-up attic space offering tons of extra storage. The large back deck is a great space for gathering family and friends or sitting in peace at the end of a long day. This home is permitted for a 3 bedroom septic but has a 4th room with a closet. It would be easy to have 2 main floor offices in this home or it offers multigenerational living with a main floor bedroom and 2nd living space on the main floor. The beauty of this traditional floor plan is that it can transition for your way of living. Black Horse Run offers exceptional amenities including a brand new olympic sized pool with an active summer swim team. There is also a clubhouse, tennis courts, basketball courts, playground and picnic area. Horse trails wind throughout the neighborhood and there is a barn for boarding if space is available.
