Offering approximately 2,867 square feet of main-level living space, this home features 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, spacious living and entertaining areas, and two fireplaces.

CAR ENTHUSIASTS AND HOBBYISTS TAKE NOTE! The property includes an attached two-car garage and a detached two-car garage, providing generous space for vehicles, storage, projects, and hobbies. A large wood deck overlooks the natural wooded surroundings.

RENOVATE, REIMAGINE, OR START FRESH! This mid-century modern home is in need of significant updating, repairs, and modernization, but its spacious floor plan and architectural character present exciting possibilities for buyers with vision. Restore and transform the existing residence into a distinctive mid-century modern retreat, or consider removing the existing improvements and constructing a new custom home on this beautiful 5.77-acre setting, subject to applicable zoning, permitting, and site requirements.

Whether your dream is to restore a classic home, create a private wooded retreat, or build a custom residence surrounded by nature, this unique property offers an opportunity that is increasingly difficult to find in southern Wake County.

IMPORTANT PROPERTY INFORMATION: Property is served by a private well and septic system. The septic permit could not be located for review. Buyers are encouraged to independently verify septic system capacity, permitting, condition, and suitability for their intended use. Any proposed demolition, new construction, or redevelopment is subject to applicable governmental approvals, zoning restrictions, site conditions, and permitting requirements. Property and improvements are being offered in their present condition. Walnut Investment Properties, LLC is the parent company. Christopher Shaw Real Estate Services is a DBA. Walnut Investment Properties, LLC does not maintain a trust account. The backyard is very steep. Proceed with caution as its a good drop down to the creek.
