Raleigh, NC 27606LIVE in the MIDDLE OF IT ALL--welcome to 2721 Glassman Lane in the heart of 27606, where space, privacy, and location come together in a way that's increasingly rare. Set on a private, tree-lined one-acre lot just off highly sought-after Penny Road, this stately home offers a peaceful retreat just minutes from Downtown Raleigh, Cary, and Apex--giving you the best of both worlds: tucked-away tranquility with unbeatable convenience. From the moment you step inside, the grand two-story foyer and formal living and dining rooms set the tone, with gleaming hardwood floors and soaring windows that flood the home with natural light. The atmosphere feels bright, open, and inviting--balancing elegance with everyday comfort. The two-story family room anchors the home with a cozy fireplace, while the kitchen offers a functional layout with a walk-in pantry and a sunny breakfast nook perfect for casual mornings. Fresh interior paint, new carpet, and refinished hardwoods (2025) bring a crisp, refreshed feel throughout, while still leaving room for your own personal updates and vision. The main-level primary suite offers a quiet escape, complete with vaulted ceilings, a spacious walk-in closet, and a spa-like bath with garden tub and separate shower. Upstairs, three generously sized bedrooms--each with walk-in closets--provide flexibility for family or guests, including a Jack-and-Jill bath and an additional en-suite. Thoughtful storage continues with oversized linen closets, while a tiled laundry room and powder room complete the main level. Step outside and you'll find an expansive back deck with built-in seating, surrounded by mature hardwoods that create a natural canopy of privacy--something that's hard to come by this close to the city. With nearly an acre, there's also incredible potential to expand, customize, or simply enjoy the space as it is. Additional updates include a new roof (2023), Hardi-plank siding and gutters, upstairs HVAC (2020), and crawlspace encapsulation (2017). Lovingly maintained and full of character, this home offers solid bones, timeless structure, and an opportunity to make it your own--all in a location that truly puts you in the middle of it all. And with NO city taxes and NO HOA, the value here is undeniable. Opportunities like this don't come along often--space, location, and privacy in Raleigh are a rare combination. Schedule your showing and experience it for yourself.
