Solid All-Brick Ranch in One of North Raleigh's Most Convenient Communities This well-built, one-story all-brick ranch offers the ease of maintenance-free living, with HOA dues covering lawn care, landscaping, and irrigation -- so you can spend your weekends enjoying everything the area has to offer instead of mowing the yard. Inside, the open floor plan feels expansive thanks to 9' smooth ceilings that soar to 10' and 13.5' in the cathedral and tray ceiling areas. The thoughtfully upgraded interior includes a cozy fireplace flanked by built-in cabinetry and shelves, and a well-appointed kitchen featuring 42'' maple cabinetry with slide-out shelves and solid surface countertops. A tankless water heater adds modern efficiency. The primary suite is a true retreat, with a private sitting room, walk-in shower, whirlpool garden tub, and a generous walk-in closet. The dedicated home office features its own cathedral ceiling, and practical touches throughout -- including hallways over 4' wide, a laundry room with utility sink, wired security system, floored attic storage, and overhead shelving above the garage doors -- make daily life effortless. Out back, a stunning two-level deck creates an ideal space for relaxing or entertaining, all on a comfortable quarter-acre lot. The location is where this home truly shines. Falls Lake State Recreation Area and Falls Dam are just minutes away, and the Falls Lake Visitor Center sits right next door -- offering a paved walking path to the dam and miles of trails through forests and along the lakeshore. The Neuse River Trail system is also close by, making hiking, biking, canoeing, and fishing part of your everyday routine. This is an Estate Sale, and select furnishings are available for negotiation -- a great opportunity for buyers looking for a truly move-in ready home.
