5101 Shamrock Drive
Raleigh, NC 27612Surrounded by mature landscaping and blooming azaleas that have stood the test of time, this home feels like a hidden gem--one of those places that just doesn't come around the same way anymore. Tucked into the peace and quiet of Brookhaven, yet only minutes from Crabtree, North Hills, and RDU, it offers that rare blend of yesterday's tranquility and today's convenience that makes Raleigh so special in the first place. The quintessential all-brick ranch built when Raleigh first stretched its arms into the suburbs, set on a deep, nearly square half-acre corner lot, the 3-bedroom, 2½-bath traditional layout has original site-finished hardwoods, even in the kitchen. The focal point of the den is the raised brick hearth fireplace. Closets galore - unusual for the build era, including a full wall in the owner's suite. Large formal areas will spark the imagination to remodel the flow, or simply refresh and enjoy traditional floorplan living. Step outside to the expansive brick patio overlooking the private and deep backyard. Brookhaven Nature Park is a leisurely stroll away. Bring your contractor or designer - so many options to fulfill your vision!
