97 Cotton Mill Drive
Zebulon, NC 27597Minutes from everything... but it feels like you've escaped it all. Located on 1.22 Acre lot, this home hits that rare balance--Once you step into the backyard, you'll understand why this one stands out. Inside, the layout is effortless with true first-floor living. Granite countertops, Updated Lighting and faucets throughout, LVP flooring, and a porcelain-tiled main bath give the home a clean, modern feel. Every room is finished with ceiling fans, and a Whole-House Water Softener System adds everyday comfort. Upstairs, a Spacious Bonus room with a full bathroom offers the perfect flex space--guest suite, playroom, home office, or media room. Two separate conditioned Storage Areas (including one with dedicated heating and air) give you the kind of usable space that's hard to find. Now... step outside. The 16x32 in-ground Pool (installed 2024) is the centerpiece--surrounded by lush Turf that stays perfect year-round. There's space for mini Golf, putterball, Cornhole... or just laying out by the water while the built-in lighting sets the mood as the sun goes down. Every detail was intentional--river rock borders, North Carolina boulders, fresh bermuda sod, and layered Landscaping that makes the entire space feel finished, not pieced together. Fully Fenced for privacy and peace of mind, with both a 6-ft vinyl privacy fence with pool latch and an additional 4-ft chain link fence with auto-close gate. And just when you think you've seen it all... it keeps going. Beyond the fence, Trails wind through the woods, leading you to a tucked-away Fire Pit--perfect for slow nights, s'mores, and letting the day wind down. A seasonal creek runs through the property, adding to the quiet, natural feel. Peach trees, raspberries, blueberries, and a Garden space give you your own little slice of homestead living. It's the kind of place where weekends feel different. Where you don't feel the need to leave. And the best part? You're still just minutes from everything.
