Raleigh, NC 27606Welcome to your own private homestead on nearly an acre at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac! This charming cottage features a cobblestone entry, Bamboo hardwood floors, new paint throughout, and a cozy family room with a fireplace and a Bonus Room on the second floor. The updated kitchen boasts a one-of-a-kind granite countertop with natural garnet and amazonite minerals. Redesigned laundry and custom mudroom with ample storage. Crawl space encapsulated and dehumidified for peace of mind. French doors off the kitchen lead to a patio with a fire pit, perfect for evenings outdoors. Fenced raised beds already growing strawberries and asparagus, a chicken coop, a matching garden shed, and fruit trees including peach, fig, apple, blackberries, and muscadine grapes. Mature woods border the rear of the property for added privacy. The deep one-car garage has been used as a workshop by the current owners. Gorgeous, ever-changing perennial gardens bloom from spring through summer, from daffodils and peonies to camellias, azaleas, dogwoods, and crepe myrtle. Flat, grassy yard gives plenty of room to entertain. A rare opportunity for buyers wanting space, privacy, and a truly self-sufficient lifestyle!
