Offering approximately 2,586 heated square feet, the home features 5 bedrooms, multiple living and gathering spaces, two fireplaces, extensive built-ins, stainless steel appliances, and a two-car garage. The spacious kitchen opens naturally to the home`s living areas, while the large rear deck creates an inviting place to entertain, relax, or simply enjoy the wooded surroundings. Step outside to discover established landscaping, garden areas, and a charming koi pond that adds to the property`s private retreat feel. What truly sets this property apart is the land. With R-80W zoning, the approximately 4.60-acre parcel offers room to spread out, create gardens or outdoor recreation space, and enjoy a level of privacy increasingly difficult to find. Wake County has confirmed the property can be subdivided into two lots, creating the opportunity for a second homesite and adding meaningful flexibility and long-term potential for the next owner.
