Clayton, NC 27527Sellers offering $10,000 buyer incentive for contract accepted and closed by November 26th! Welcome to Portofino, an equestrian community offering miles of scenic trails, private access to the Neuse River, and two pools with clubhouses and event space. Set beside a quiet horse pasture, this custom home rests on a manicured 0.7-acre lot with native, perennial landscaping. A welcoming brick front porch sets the tone, while a side-entry garage enhances both curb appeal and functionality. Inside, you'll find thoughtful craftsmanship throughout, including extensive millwork, exotic hardwood floors on the main level and upstairs hallway, and a gourmet kitchen with quartz countertops and a gas range. The sunlit family room has an airy vaulted ceiling, tiered windows, a stone fireplace, and a built-in bookcase with storage.

A highlight of this home is the three-season sunroom with a vaulted wood-paneled ceiling, opening to a brick patio and a private backyard shaded by mature oaks. The grounds are enhanced with pollinator-friendly perennials, a 16' x 16' fenced raised-bed garden, and established blueberry and blackberry bushes. Recent upgrades include a 2022 roof with a 50-year transferrable warranty and a new tankless water heater in 2025. Sellers offering a 1-year HSA Home Warranty. This is more than just a house—it's a forever home in one of Clayton's most sought-after neighborhoods.
