Home Description

Welcome to this beautifully updated home on a quiet cul-de-sac in the Harps Mill neighborhood of North Raleigh. With 3 spacious bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and 1,789 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, this home blends timeless charm with modern comfort—perfect for everyday living and easy entertaining. From the moment you arrive, the inviting curb appeal sets the tone with a front porch, fresh landscaping, and mature trees that frame the property. Step inside to find a bright, open layout filled with so many thoughtful upgrades. The main level features luxury vinyl flooring, crown molding, and smooth ceilings throughout. At the heart of the home is a fully renovated kitchen, done in 2023, complete with quartz countertops, a center island, stainless steel appliances, and updated lighting. Just off the kitchen is a light-filled living room featuring a wood-burning fireplace with a charming surround overlooking the backyard, as well as the spacious formal dining room with plantation shutters that offer both elegance and privacy. Upstairs, you'll find all three bedrooms including a generously sized primary suite that offers a relaxing retreat. The en suite bathroom has been stylishly renovated with dual vanities, a soaking tub, and modern finishes. Two additional bedrooms share an updated full bathroom, and the convenient upstairs laundry room adds ease to your daily routine. You'll also find new Andersen double-hung windows throughout the upper level, enhancing energy efficiency and natural light. This home has been upgraded with fresh paint throughout, brand new carpet throughout, updated lighting fixtures, and improvements to both the front and back outdoor spaces. Outdoor living is just as enjoyable with a refreshed deck overlooking the fully fenced backyard, providing a private space for entertaining, grilling, or simply relaxing in the shade. The yard is landscaped and ready for pets, gardening, or play. A two-car attached garage and additional driveway space offer parking for up to four vehicles.
