Just a short stroll from downtown Raleigh, this stylish home blends comfort, convenience, and modern design. A welcoming covered front porch creates inviting curb appeal, while hardwood floors throughout both floors add warmth and continuity. The family room is highlighted by a fireplace with tile surround, custom built-ins, and abundant natural light from a large front window. The beautifully appointed kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, a gas range, and dramatic counter-to-ceiling tile surrounding the exhaust hood. The adjoining dining area opens seamlessly to the spacious rear deck, creating the perfect indoor-outdoor living space. Upstairs, the private primary suite is tucked away at the rear of the home and offers a spa-inspired bath with dual vanities and a stunning tiled shower. Three additional generously sized bedrooms share a centrally located hall bath. With hardwood flooring throughout the entire home--no carpet anywhere--along with hardwood stair treads, custom shelving, a fenced backyard, detached storage shed, and countless thoughtful upgrades, this home is sure to impress.
