Located on a beautifully landscaped .81-acre lot just minutes from North Hills and Shelley Lake, this brick ranch with a basement offers a rare chance to own in one of Raleigh's most sought-after areas. Surrounded by new construction and luxury homes, the potential here is endless — renovate, expand, or build new. This home features 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and a convenient single-level layout with 2,435 square feet, including a finished basement for flexible living space. A traditional floor plan includes a formal living room, dining area, and an open-concept family room that flows into the kitchen and breakfast nook. Step out to the screened porch and enjoy the peaceful backyard setting. A 2-car carport with storage adds convenience and ample storage. But the real star? The yard.! Mature trees, lush plantings, a beautiful 40' x 80' water garden pond with thoughtful landscaping create an outdoor retreat that's hard to come by in this location. While the home does need updating, the true value lies in the land and the potential to create something truly special on this oversized lot in a high-demand area. Don't miss this chance to bring your vision to life!
