A main-level guest suite with adjacent full bath provides ideal versatility for visitors, multigenerational living, or a private office.

Anchored by a professional-grade 36" BlueStar range complemented by a sleek high-efficiency hood, premium stainless steel appliances, beautiful quartz countertops, and a generous workspace, this chef's kitchen is as functional as it is stunning. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the main living areas where the inviting family room serves as the centerpiece of the home, highlighted by a cozy fireplace, custom built-in bookcases, and expansive windows that bring the beauty of the surrounding landscape indoors. Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite serves as a private retreat, complete with a spa-inspired ensuite bath and an expansive walk-in closet. Well-proportioned secondary bedrooms, a conveniently located laundry room, and a versatile bonus room complete the upper level, offering spaces that adapt beautifully to modern lifestyles. Step outside to your own private backyard oasis. Relax in the hot tub, gather around the fire pit beneath the stars, or enjoy quiet evenings on the patio overlooking the beautifully landscaped, fenced yard. Surrounded by mature trees for exceptional privacy, the expansive homesite also includes a cohesively appealing 8x12 shed for added storage. Conveniently located near RTP, RDU Airport, and major commuter routes, this property also offers easy access to public transit.
