Welcome to this RARE find where old charm meets modern updates on 1.16 acres in PRIME NW Raleigh location. This home was completely renovated in '21-'22 with over $200k in upgrades and conveniently located 15 min from the airport and RTP. This single level home boasts a huge two car detached garage with its own private entrance off Pinecrest Rd plus two storage sheds. This offers flexibility for those who own boats or RV's needing storage as this neighborhood DOES NOT belong to an HOA. The main house is set up perfectly for entertaining with the living room, kitchen, home office, bar and dining room on one side of the home and the bedrooms and bathrooms on the other. The renovation includes a new kitchen, updated laundry room, updated home office with bar area, new light fixtures, new bathrooms, new carpet, new HVAC, new water heater, new appliances, and new LVP on the inside. On the outside, you have new LP smart siding, newly encapsulated crawl space with new dehumidifier, new gutters, new deck, and new landscaping throughout. Even with all the modern updates, you will still find the classic charm of the home with the original brick entryway and the original solid wood red front doors and solid wood interior doors. If you are looking for a ranch home that embodies luxury, character, and a prime location... this is it! And for all the developers, this home is zoned R-4 with about 400 feet of frontage to Pinecrest and can be subdivided into multiple lots, up to 3 additional, depending on what you would want to do. See MLS documents for land survey and preliminary subdivision plans with City of Raleigh along with a full list of recent upgrades in the last couple years.
