Showings to start at 5p on Friday. There's a sightline from the family room--past the fire, through the picture window, across the skylit sunroom, and out to the backyard--that tells you everything about how this home lives. This home-on-the-hill in Stratford Hall at Wakefield Plantation offers 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, and 3,654 square feet on a flat, fenced .37-acre cul-de-sac lot in North Raleigh. Full brick front elevation. Two-car garage with epoxy floors and extra height for storage. A two-story foyer and 9' ceilings create immediate volume, while hardwood floors, crown molding, wainscoting, and tray ceilings carry detail throughout the main level. In addition, matching hardwood floors were recently discovered under the downstairs carpet!! The layout centers on connection. A dual-sided gas log fireplace links the family room and office/flex room -- one fire, two distinct spaces. Built-ins anchor the family room, while the office features double glass doors and a transom window that keeps natural light moving. An oversized picture window pulls your eye straight through the home to the sunroom and backyard. The kitchen has been reworked where it counts. Professionally painted cabinets with soft-close doors. Pull outs in all lower kitchen cabinets. New quartz countertops and a matching backsplash. A large island, two sinks (including one with instant hot water), stainless steel appliances including a 5-burner gas cooktop vented outdoors. An eat-in breakfast area handles daily meals, while the pantry and butler's pantry absorb the overflow. Just off the kitchen: a separate laundry room with sink and direct garage access. Oh, the sunroom! Three seasons, vaulted ceiling, and skylights overhead. It lives like a second family room. Two access points lead to a large hardscape patio with stone retaining walls and a side deck positioned for grilling. The backyard is flat, fenced, and framed by mature landscaping with sunlight exposure--usable space, not just something to maintain. Upstairs is laid out with intention. The primary suite sits apart--tray ceiling, two walk-in closets, and an ensuite with dual vanities with upper cabinet with glass doors for extra storage/display, jetted tub, and a walk-in shower. Two secondary bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath for easy flow. The fourth bedroom stands out with an arched window and access to a full bath that also connects to the bonus room--ideal for guests. The bonus room has its own back staircase to the kitchen, and the unfinished walk-in attic handles storage without the clutter. Upstairs is laid out with intention.
