About this home
Gorgeous Cape Cod on a pristine 1.03-acre lot in Rockwood Downs, just 5 minutes from Wendell Falls, a short drive to Publix and Treelight Square, and only 15 miles to downtown Raleigh. A detached 2-car garage, an extended driveway, a lush lawn, and thoughtful landscaping create immediate curb appeal, while the 40-ft covered front porch and attached gazebo add standout charm.
Inside, hardwoods run through the main floor, and the layout offers a main-floor primary suite, spacious living areas, and renovated bathrooms. The kitchen features warm cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, subway tile backsplash, and abundant natural light. Just beside the kitchen, the separate dining room is nicely integrated into the flow of the home and is flexible enough for casual meals or more formal gatherings, with a vaulted ceiling and direct access to the deck. The oversized family room with a fireplace opens to the covered back porch via French doors, creating an easy connection to the outdoor living spaces.
Main-floor primary suite includes an updated bath with a walk-in shower. Upstairs bedrooms offer flexibility for guests, office, or bonus use, and the renovated secondary bath includes a dual vanity, soaking tub, and separate shower.
Outdoor living shines with a covered back porch ready for screening, a deck, and an extra-large patio ideal for entertaining, dining, or relaxing. Peaceful setting with room to spread out, yet convenient to shopping, dining, and major highways.
Rockwood Downs has no HOA and backs to the 265-acre Turnipseed Nature Preserve with 2 miles of ADA-accessible fine-graveled trails and 1.75 miles of single-track trails. Rare combination of privacy, character, updates, and location....
