6540 Keystone Dr, Raleigh, NC 27612

There's a happy showdown between house and lot at 6540 Keystone. The home is a bundle of cuteness and updates, flexing an eminently smart layout and slate of delectable enhancements, including new flooring, lighting and appliances. But that may not be enough to beat the extraordinary setting: a half-acre homesite peering into protected forest within the 118-acre Shelley Lake park, replete with wildlife, greenway trails and lake activities. The meilleure partie is a perfect little art studio.
