First impressions mean a lot. When you walk into this gorgeous brick-front home you're welcomed by a lovely and elegant two-story foyer and open floor plan. Natural light is plentiful. You'll likely then start to notice those critical details that ''check all the boxes:'' an obviously well-maintained home with thoughtful, caring owners; large upgraded white kitchen with quartz countertops, new appliances 2019 and new refrigerator 2024; a big, grassy and fenced backyard; a first-floor office or possible playroom; oversized primary bedroom upstairs; lots of space to spread out; a large rear deck; roof, water heater and HVAC all replaced within the past 5 years; less than one mile outside the I-440 Beltline; crazy-convenient location; a lovely neighborhood with a true sense of community; and a quiet side street with wonderful neighbors on all sides. Be sure to notice the secret attic on the second floor off bedroom four -- it looks like ''just an access point'' to the eaves but it's actually a stand-up storage attic. In this home, form meets function in a beautiful way. Don't forget to the visit the neighborhood swimming pool -- on a hot sunny Raleigh day you might feel the need to live here as soon as possible.
