This stately two-story home sits proudly on a deep lot in one of Raleigh’s most sought after neighborhoods, just one block away from Banbury Park. As you walk in the front door, you are met by a bright, open floor-plan and a welcoming living room with custom built-in bookcases surrounding a gas fireplace. Entertaining options are unlimited thanks to the eat in kitchen and separate dining room. The house sits tucked back on the lot with plenty of parking out front, providing privacy to the spacious wrap-around back porch and groomed backyard. Upstairs, there are three large bedrooms and two full bathrooms, including an impressive master suite with walk-in closet and dual vanities. Other highlights include all new appliances, beautiful hardwood floors and 9ft ceilings downstairs, a back shed with power, and the most desirable schools in the area (Lacy, Martin, Broughton).
