This storybook Colonial in the Bent Tree neighborhood is ideally located in the heart of North Raleigh, blending timeless charm with modern updates. At its heart, the renovated kitchen shines with stainless steel appliances, an oversized island, and a breakfast room that opens seamlessly to the family room. Vaulted ceilings, abundant natural light, and a brick fireplace with custom built-ins create a warm and inviting gathering space. The main-level primary suite offers a private retreat with dual vanities topped in quartz, a glass-enclosed oversized shower, and two walk-in closets. A large home office with custom built-ins doubles as a workout space, while upstairs provides three bedrooms, one with its own en-suite bath and another with an attached bonus room that makes an ideal flex space. In addition to the 3,389 square feet of finished living space, the home also offers two versatile bonus areas not included in the official square footage: a 663-square-foot bonus room over the garage and a 153-square-foot walk-in closet with sloped ceilings. Together, these bring the home's total usable area to over 4,200 square feet, providing exceptional flexibility for storage, work, play, or hobbies. Outdoor living is just as impressive, with a spacious deck and fenced yard perfect for evening gatherings. Neighborhood amenities, including a pool and greenway trails, are only steps from the front door. With thoughtful updates, flexible living spaces, and a prime location, this home makes everyday living both easy and enjoyable.
