Tucked beneath mature hardwoods on a private 0.51-acre lot, this thoughtfully designed Clayton home offers the rare combination of creativity, comfort, and room to truly live. Nearly 3,200 square feet unfolds with intention-spaces to gather, retreat, work, and play-making it ideal for a growing or move-up family seeking entry-level luxury at an exceptional value. Personality shines throughout, from the painted staircase and statement lighting to the incredible custom walk-in pantry and one-of-a-kind primary closet. The kitchen anchors daily life with abundant cabinetry, generous prep space, and a refrigerator that conveys (plus a second refrigerator in the garage), while a dedicated first-floor laundry room adds everyday ease. The spacious primary suite feels like a true retreat, offering room for a sitting area, dual closets, dual sinks, a soaking tub, and separate shower. Flexible bonus and flex spaces adapt effortlessly to a home office, playroom, library, or homework zone. Outdoors, the oversized deck with rail lighting and sun sail overlooks a peaceful, wooded backyard-perfect for entertaining or unwinding after a long day. Storage lovers will appreciate the walk-in basement/crawl space, enclosed workshop beneath the deck, built-in shelving in garage and workspace areas, and even a whimsical ''hobbit door'' tucked under the stairs. Major updates provide peace of mind, including a 2023 roof, HVAC systems replaced in 2023 and 2024, fresh interior paint, and new carpet. Enjoy neighborhood amenities including a community pool, along with quick access to Raleigh, shopping, dining, parks, and the Neuse River Trail-this is a home that invites your family to settle in, spread out, and stay awhile.
