Nestled at the top of a quiet cul-de-sac on 1.26 private, wooded acres in Raleigh's coveted Norwood Oaks neighborhood where the Falls Lake watershed, unmatched privacy and no HOA brings an opportunity for a life lived on your own terms. This 3 bed, 2 ½ bath stately brick-front home offers timeless curb appeal, 2,573 sq ft of living space, and an address that buyers spend years waiting for. This is the rare location where your morning can begin with a boat on Falls Lake, your afternoon with errands at Trader Joe's, and your evening watering vegetable plants in your own backyard. A kind of quiet that's increasingly hard to find this close to the city.
A full-brick facade with classic shutters and arched entry sets a distinguished tone. Inside, hardwood floors, crown molding, and transom-topped doorways create an inviting atmosphere throughout the main level. The formal dining room features chair rail detailing and a wall of glass showcasing the wooded front yard. In fact, each window perfectly frames the treetops, a consistent palette of green as your gaze catches the outdoors. The living room with its charming fireplace and classic mantel flows naturally into the heart of the home.
The eat-in kitchen offers abundant cabinetry, a central prep bar, and a breakfast area overlooking the rear deck and tree canopy, opening directly to the oversized deck, an exceptional outdoor living space surrounded by mature hardwoods on all sides.
Upstairs, the primary suite is light-filled and generous featuring a tray ceiling, walk-in closet, and a bath with dual vanities, soaking whirlpool tub, and a separate shower. The bonus room and additional bedrooms are well-proportioned and bright, each with wooded views and easy access to full baths. The walk-up attic is nearly 770 square feet and offers remarkable finishing potential for a second bonus room or storage.
Whether I-540 is taking you home, or you're up for entertainment in North Hills, shopping at Crabtree Valley, or some history in Wake Forest, the side-entry two-car garage will be waiting to tuck you in, right here at the top of the cul-de-sac where the oaks don't care what time you get home.
Priced to reflect cosmetic updating, this is a genuine opportunity to claim a premium north Raleigh address and make it entirely your own. Nor would you want it any other way.
