North Raleigh charm and elegance! Are you tired of all the whitewashed, grey new homes? Need a little color in your life? This is it! This home is nestled in a park-like setting in beautiful Whitehall, and has been impeccably maintained. Stunning hardwoods grace the entire home (not a speck of carpet) and there are nooks of character to be found everywhere you look. The beautiful 2-story family rm features a cozy (operable,wood burning) fireplace and walks out to a lovely deck, perfect for coffee or a good book. Also on 1st floor is the primary suite, which is spacious and features a walk-in shower and dual vanities. Upstairs are 3 huge bedrooms (check out those dimensions!) and bath. Then the best surprise, the lower level, featuring full bath, fireplace (operable), and it's own entrance and patio! Perfect office, bonus, or teen/in-law suite! This home is ideally located in a serene neighborhood with pool and stunning community garden, yet still offers easy access to all that Raleigh has to offer, incl proximity to parks, schools, shopping, dining. Commuting is a breeze; so close to major highways!
