Not Your Cookie-Cutter Home in Sheffield Manor If you're looking for something special with real personality, you've just found it. This brick beauty in the sought-after Sheffield Manor neighborhood has been renovated, refurbished, and redesigned with style and intention, and it shows the moment you pull up. Built on one of the original lots in the neighborhood, this home is tucked into a mature hardwood setting that feels more like a private park than a backyard. Backing up to a wooded area, it offers incredible privacy and peace, while still being part of a friendly, active community with tennis courts, a pool, and a clubhouse. Step through the double front doors into a two-story foyer lit by a show-stopping Regina Andrew wood bead chandelier. The center of the home is a spacious great room with beautiful wood burning fireplace, custom built-in bookcases and a layout that flows effortlessly but doesn't feel like every other house out there. With over 3,100 square feet all on the main level alone, it lives like a ranch, but with tons of flexible space. At the heart of the home is a kitchen that just works and looks amazing doing it. There's custom cabinetry everywhere so you'll never run out of storage, beautiful stone countertops, and a big island that seats four for casual hangouts or morning coffee. A second counter bar seats four more and opens up into the eat-in space, which has plenty of room for a large round table that seats six or more perfect for dinners, game nights, or just spreading out. The walk-in pantry? Total game-changer. It's like a kitchen inside the kitchen, complete with more custom cabinets, stone countertops, and a tiled backsplash. And the appliances? Gas oven with a 6-burner cooktop, built-in microwave/convection oven, under-counter ice maker, and a wine & beverage fridge in the bar area basically everything you need to cook, host, or just chill. The oversized two-car garage is heated and cooled with its own split unit perfect for your home gym, art studio, or weekend hangout zone. Or...just use it as a garage. The large primary and secondary bedrooms offer plenty of room to spread out, and the whole place is wrapped in cozy, relaxed vibe...no echo, no empty-cavern feel. Just solid, quiet, and super livable. Out back, you've got a two-tiered deck with a covered lower level, stone patio, and built-in fire pit basically, your own private hangout spot under the trees. Here's the part you can't see in pictures: this home feels amazing. Designer lighting and faucets throughout, 90% of the lights are on dimmers, and every room just flows. It's been upgraded where it counts: -Conditioned 2,500 sq ft crawlspace (May 2024) -New roof and skylights (Sept 2023) -Windows replaced (2020) -Sunroom skylights replaced (2020) -All-new HVAC ductwork throughout (2020) This one's got style, soul, and space to stretch out and it's ready for someone who wants more than just another house. Come take a look. You won't want to leave. Amazing location in North Raleigh! Sellers are both licensed real estate brokers.
