Rare opportunity to own a custom-crafted Steven Hayes ranch set on 1.28 private, wooded acres in a peaceful cul-de-sac of only 18 homes—NO HOA—just minutes from Wake Forest and downtown Franklinton. Designed for effortless one-level living, this exceptional, move-in-ready home blends quality craftsmanship, luxury, privacy, and convenience. The stunning primary suite features a double-diamond tray ceiling, spa-inspired bath with a large tiled walk-in shower, dual custom vanities, and an impressive custom walk-in closet. Two additional spacious bedrooms and a beautifully appointed full bath complete the main level. The gourmet kitchen is a chef's dream with granite countertops, center island with breakfast seating, upgraded stainless-steel appliances including a Samsung convection oven and Bosch dishwasher, pull-out cabinet drawers, pantry, upgraded lighting and faucet, and abundant workspace. The vaulted family room showcases a custom fireplace and flows seamlessly into the living areas, highlighted by beautiful site-finished oak hardwood floors. A premium ProVia front door and inviting rocking-chair front porch create an exceptional first impression. Upstairs, a remarkable 980 SF walk-in attic offers tremendous potential for additional living space, with plumbing already in place for a full bath. The four-season sunroom is an entertainer's delight, featuring Marvin arched palladium windows, a stone fireplace with accent wall, and ProVia sliding glass door overlooking the spectacular outdoor oasis. Step outside and enjoy resort-style living in your own backyard. The 16x32 above-ground pool is complemented by an outdoor kitchen and pergola with built-in grill, stainless-steel refrigerator, wood-fired pizza oven, and stone-faced granite countertop. A 45x20 custom patio is wired and designed for a hot tub and includes a remote-controlled retractable awning. The custom cabana with stone bar adjoins a pool house ideal for storage, hobbies, or additional entertaining space. The fully fenced, professionally landscaped yard is a private retreat filled with banana trees, canna lilies, tropical plants, mature trees, flowers, raised garden beds, a 12-zone watering system, outdoor lighting, and fire pit. Additional highlights include an oversized two-car garage with storage cabinetry, tiled laundry room with custom cabinetry, and a hardwired 8-camera 4K security system. With more than $120,000 in additional upgrades, this extraordinary property offers a rare combination of thoughtful design, exceptional outdoor living, and peaceful privacy—while remaining conveniently located near shopping, dining, and Triangle destinations.
