Property Description

Completely reimagined, rebuilt from the inside out, this exceptional Knightdale property offers the character of a classic home with the quality, efficiency, and finishes expected in luxury new construction. Originally built in 1950 with an addition completed in 1980, the home underwent an extensive top-to-bottom renovation in 2024, leaving virtually no detail untouched--from the insulation behind the walls to the door hardware and hinges throughout. Offering 3 bedrooms, 3 full baths, a dedicated office, spacious loft/bonus area, abundant storage, and a detached two-car garage, this home delivers the flexible floorplan today's buyers demand. The primary suite is conveniently located on the main level and features a spa-inspired bath complete with a zero-entry shower and freestanding soaking tub. The heart of the home showcases real original oak hardwood floors, granite countertops, custom soft-close cabinetry, subway tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, custom built-ins, solid wood pocket doors, designer accent walls, and thoughtfully curated finishes throughout. Additional upgrades include a 3-zone HVAC system, tankless water heater with recirculating pump, conditioned sealed crawlspace, all-new insulation meeting current energy standards, smart thermostats, low-E windows, PEX plumbing, and James Hardie fiber cement siding. Outdoor living is equally impressive with a vaulted screened porch, brick patio with firepit, large fenced yard, and dedicated basketball area--creating the perfect setting for both entertaining and everyday living. As an added bonus, this remarkable home sits directly across from Knightdale Station Park, a premier 71-acre destination featuring walking trails, playgrounds, athletic fields, splash pad, dog park, and year-round community events, restaurants, coffee shop, & brewery. Homes offering this combination of craftsmanship, walkable location, and modern functionality rarely become available.
