31 Water Oak Drive
Smithfield, NC 27577Enjoy the feel of a private country retreat without giving up the convenience of town. Situated on just over an acre, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers generous indoor and outdoor living space, including a fenced backyard, large deck, and plenty of room to relax, entertain, or enjoy the outdoors. Inside, the open layout creates an easy flow between the living, kitchen, and dining areas, while the primary suite provides a comfortable getaway with a spacious bath and walk-in closet. One of the home's biggest opportunities is upstairs, where more than 1,000 square feet is already well on its way to becoming finished living space—HVAC and drywall are in place, and plumbing is stubbed for a future bathroom. Whether you envision additional bedrooms, a bonus room, office, gym, or guest space, the possibilities are substantial. With quick access to I-40, Hwy 70, and Hwy 210, this property combines the space and privacy of country living with easy access to Smithfield and the Triangle.
