Price Improvement! Partially finished walk-out BASEMENT home on 1.62 acres in the sought-after community of Taft Woods East in Clayton, North Carolina. Beautifully situated at the end of a cul-de-sac, an original presale home that was truly adorned. Built in 2015 by a semi-custom builder, this stately traditional-style home features fiber cement siding with elegant stone veneer accents and can be lived in as a 6 bedroom home (4 bedroom septic). The main level includes a formal dining room, a flexible office/living room with French Doors, a guest bedroom with private bath, a spacious family room with beautiful built-in bookshelves and cabinetry flanking the fireplace, an open-concept kitchen with an abundance of cabinetry, a butler's pantry, and a breakfast nook that opens to a screened porch. The main level guest bedroom is oversized and the private bath includes a tiled, seated shower with grab bar - great for an in-law suite. Upstairs, you'll find Jack-and-Jill rooms with a shared bath, a bonus room with shelving, a 12x12 unfinished storage closet, a generously sized primary suite with luxurious bath, and another room with direct access into the hall bath. The walk-out BASEMENT offers even more potential with a large finished room with full bath and an enormous closet, plus over 1,100 sq ft of framed but unfinished space, ready for your gym or future personalization! Occupants of this area can come and go as they please! This home offers high-end features that you won't find in a new-build unless it's completely custom: solid shelves in the pantry and closets, engineered WOOD floors throughout (NO CARPET), wrought iron handrails, and all appliances come with the home. Enjoy the outdoors on this expansive homesite, which features a patio surrounded by fruit trees, including apple, peach, plum, apricot, persimmon, and native hazelnut. Also included with the home are a greenhouse and an Endless Pools Swim Spa (originally purchased for $25k but not permitted). The mostly wooded lot backs to a natural creek at the property's edge and may offer space for a future pool. Located 1.9 miles from Flower's Crossroads Shopping where you'll find Harris Teeter, Pet Depot, CVS and more. The same area offers a Publix, and several chain restaurants. This is a true gem in one of Clayton's most beautiful and established communities. Don't miss your chance to make it yours. Taft Woods East has County Water, Natural Gas, Fiber, and moderate restrictions with LOW HOA dues!
