Listing details for 2409 Basil Dr, Raleigh, NC 27612 : Write your own ''happily-ever-after'' in this storybook three-story home in the heart of Raleigh, once featured on ''Love It or List It!'' This beautiful home features 2411 square feet, 3 bedrooms, plus a large finished third floor bonus room, on a quarter acre, with a large front yard, and a fenced back yard with a Trex deck and a patio. Inside you'll find gleaming hardwoods in a sitting room, and fresh paint and carpet in a living room with a prominent painted brick fireplace and a mantelpiece with detailed millwork. The hero of our story is the updated kitchen, with startling black granite counters, tile backsplash, a farmhouse sink beneath a window, a perfectly-fitted kitchen island topped with a butcher block, a built-in desk with shelving above, a pantry, and a bay window that lets in lots of natural light behind the breakfast nook--just a lovely and sociable room for convos, meals, and drinks with family and friends. Rounding out the downstairs is an expanded mudroom with dual drop zones, a half bath, and a laundry room. Upstairs, you'll find lots of fresh paint too! There's a refreshed full bath at the top of the stairs, and two secondary bedrooms, before you arrive at a spacious primary--and check out that bathroom, with its upgraded vanity, fixtures, and an inviting standing shower that is simply resplendent. All of this, and you still have the bonus room on the finished third floor, not to mention its built-ins, and a large unfinished storage space. This home has been lovingly maintained and wonderfully updated--and talk about location, mere minutes to Crabtree Mall, North Hills, and all the amenities of Midtown.
