128 horseman drive

Tucked away on a private homesite just minutes from the main gate of Lake Royale, this custom farmhouse offers the kind of peaceful, everyday escape most folks only find on vacation. Set on approximately 1.2 acres with no future building behind you, this property delivers rare privacy, wooded views, and a true sense of quiet that feels like heaven the moment you pull in. The charming board and batten exterior, stone accents, and incredible rocking chair front porch with stately columns create a warm, welcoming first impression and the perfect spot to enjoy quiet mornings or sunset evenings. Inside, you'll find an open, light filled layout with 10 foot ceilings and crown molding in the living room, dining room, kitchen, and primary bedroom, all designed for comfort and connection. The living spaces feature warm wood floors, custom built-ins, a cozy fireplace, and a built-in speaker system that flows through the main areas. The kitchen blends style and function with stunning quartz countertops, a massive butcher block island, apron front farmhouse sink, patterned tile backsplash, open shelving, walk-in pantry, and a wine fridge that conveys. All televisions will also remain, making this home truly move in ready. Each bedroom offers its own walk-in closet, and the primary suite is a true retreat, highlighted by a beautiful clawfoot soaking tub and separate walk-in shower with serene views of the surrounding landscape. One of the showstoppers is the incredible back patio and three season room, complete with a porch swing, TV, and fully screened wall panels. When the weather is right, this space becomes seamless indoor outdoor living, perfect for morning coffee, game days, or winding down in the evenings. The adjacent concrete patio is already pre wired for a hot tub, giving you the option to create your own private outdoor retreat. You may never want to leave. The home offers both a two car attached garage and a separate detached 20' X 20' garage or workshop, ideal for storage, hobbies, or lake toys. A full walk up attic is already pre wired for HVAC, offering excellent potential to add finished square footage if desired. Additional upgrades include pre-wiring for a Generac generator, a Rinnai tankless water heater, and a dual fuel heat pump with both propane and electric options for efficient year round comfort. The property is also equipped with a Rainbird irrigation system, landscape lighting to keep the yard looking pristine day and night, and a whole house water filtration system for added comfort and peace of mind. Located in the gated Lake Royale community, residents enjoy access to the lake, boating, beaches, pool, golf course, clubhouse, and year round activities, all while being a short drive to downtown Louisburg and an easy commute toward Wake Forest and Raleigh. This is more than a home. It is a lifestyle where privacy, comfort, and lake living come together beautifully.
