3121 Tarheel Clubhouse Rd Raleigh, NC 27604

It's truly a ''zen'' moment when you arrive at this quiet retreat that sits on a pond reflecting the surrounding trees while a red-tailed Hawk flies above. Am I still in Raleigh? The hustle-bustle has vanished.. You have just crossed Beaverdam Lake, passed the horses of Corral Riding Academy, and arrived to a private haven only 10 minutes from downtown Raleigh. 'Where the road ends'... and the energy shifts.. Sitting on 2+ acres is a remodeled 'lives like a ranch'/split level/70s house with a cool vibe that pings your creative spirit. Adjacent land is owned by the city of Raleigh, which provides a secluded cove for Naturalists where the road ends.. And if you are a hobbyist, there are two outbuildings with electricity. And if you are a Gardener, there is a greenhouse and plenty of soil. And an outdoor shower with hot water. Feeling it yet? Thoughtful design as you enter a large mudroom/drop zone. Leave all the shoes, book bags, sports equipment where it all belongs - easy pick up on the way back out. Can walk to Beaverdam Elementary - adding to a parent's zen, no doubt. Wide open floor plan with vaulted ceiling and hardwood floors, space to spread out or to gather.. Kitchen was remodeled in 2015 with loads of storage, plenty of counter space, an island - for food prep, breakfast, and homework too. Added bonus: the resident Artist designed the light above the island and it will convey. Access to the deck just off the kitchen for continued outdoor living. Spectacular view of the pond! You will live on this deck. No hustle. No bustle. And no worries about the pups or kids - yard is fenced. Inclement weather? Enjoy the outdoors comfortably on the covered/ screened porch...and still gaze at the pond.. Primary suite offers a sitting area, large space for all-sized furniture, and deck access. The walk-in closet is not like any you've seen in a 70s house. More zen = plenty of closet space! Good natural light and a gorgeous view to wake up to! Ensuite bath is tiled, with a large step in shower with seat. Good cabinet storage. Secondary bedrooms - one up and one down; both good-sizes and ample room for growing kids or guests. Bedroom on lower level is being used as an office. Closet door was removed for a desk nook. Bonus room/rec room is wonderful flex space for many uses. The current Owners use it as a game room and added a bar, showcasing the Artist's talent! This flex room has a fireplace and access to the screened porch...great entertaining areas. Laundry is behind the barn door - perfect use of space - enough for laundry, extra frig. or freezer, plus storage. And behind the curtain is a half-bath! It's a delightful, unique surprise! The acreage = peaceful harmony. You have all of the outdoor living spaces and a view that most only yearn for... surrounded by nature, completely serene, and a gem of a property this close to downtown. Current Owners call it ''the ranch''. I call it a ''zen retreat''. You can call it ''home''. HVAC with smart thermostat 2021. Windows - all new 2014 - 2015. Roof - 2015. Appliances will convey. No HOA. No city taxes.
