Description

Discover privacy and architectural soul in this beautifully renovated, expansive mid-century modern ranch. Set on nearly three pristine acres with no HOA or city taxes, this 4-bed, 3.5-bath oasis sits right in the heart of North Raleigh and Wake Forest. The single-level layout honors classic mid-century design featuring redwood accents throughout, with a breathtaking indoor arboretum that brings nature right into the center of your living space. This architectural gem has been completely revitalized with fresh interior and exterior paint, new hardwoods, plush carpet, stunning new bathrooms, a fully updated kitchen, and all-new HVAC units. Adding incredible versatility to the floor plan, a dedicated second ensuite provides an ideal, private setup for long-term guests or multi-generational living. This highly functional space is thoughtfully positioned to offer direct, relaxing views into the indoor arboretum. Offering a massive 2,600 sq ft barn/shop and an additional detached garage, this estate is a dream for hobbyists, entrepreneurs, and modern homesteaders. It's a blank canvas for an expansive workshop, studio, indoor sports hub, or boat/RV storage. The flat, cleared backyard extends that blank canvas outdoors, offering an ideal setting for a large garden or possible future pool (with appropriate approvals and permitting). Enjoy seclusion with ultimate convenience--you have immediate access to the Falls River dam, the Neuse River Greenway, top schools, shopping, and dining. Of the total footprint, 1,165 sq ft belongs to a versatile bonus room, creatively converted from a covered pool in 2003. Although tax records still note the area separately from main living as 'special purpose', buyers can step in with peace of mind knowing the floor structure has been officially approved by a licensed structural engineer, and a brand new HVAC system has been installed. Schedule your private tour today to experience this rare Riverside Drive estate!
