Description

Stunning Log Home on Over 4 Acres in a Nature-Lover's Paradise!

Nestled in a peaceful, oasis-like neighborhood and bordering Clemmons State Forest, this beautiful log home offers a rare combination of rustic charm and modern conveniences. With 1,847 sq. ft. of heated living space in the main home, plus an additional 700 sq. ft. in the attached library/office and bonus room totaling 2538 SF- there's plenty of room to enjoy and entertain.

The home features real wood floors on the main level, exposed beams throughout the living areas, and a full masonry gas log fireplace (convertible to it's once wood-burning). The island kitchen includes solid surface countertops, a Thermador cooktop and wall oven, and picture windows in the breakfast room that offer breathtaking views of the deck and lush backyard filled with white oak trees, dogwoods, and rhododendrons—a perfect spot for birdwatchers, with regular sightings of owls and woodpeckers.

The main home offers a downstairs guest bedroom, a sunroom, and dining room, while upstairs you'll find the owner's suite with a soaking tub, separate shower, and a cozy loft with a third bedroom.

With Anderson windows throughout, a one-car attached garage, and a serene location just 10 minutes from UNC Hospitals Clayton and 20 minutes from downtown Raleigh, this log home offers the best of both worlds—privacy and convenience. A log home on over 4 acres, with unique charm and a park-like setting, is a rare find!
