Charming Craftsman-inspired cottage with modern farmhouse touches, situated on a beautiful .92-acre lot just over a mile from Downtown Wendell! With no HOA or restrictions, this move-in-ready home offers a rare combination of character, space, privacy and convenience. The inviting exterior makes a great first impression with fresh paint, custom handcrafted wood shutters and a spacious 5' x 20' covered front porch overlooking the expansive, tree-lined yard. Inside, the 1,016-square-foot home offers an open, comfortable layout with two generously sized bedrooms and an updated full bath. Luxury vinyl plank flooring flows through the main living areas, complemented by fresh interior paint, updated ceiling fans and light fixtures, recessed lighting and charming details including beadboard wainscoting and built-in shelving. The kitchen features painted cabinetry, generous counter space and an open connection to the dining and living areas. French doors bring in abundant natural light and lead to the impressive 12' x 18' screened porch. The updated bath features tile flooring, an updated vanity and updated lighting. Recent improvements provide added peace of mind, including a new roof, new water heater, new surge tank and pump pressure switch, along with fresh interior and exterior paint. Outside, the nearly one-acre homesite offers plenty of room to enjoy, garden, entertain or simply spread out beneath the mature trees. A wired 17.5' x 18.5' detached workshop provides excellent space for hobbies, projects, storage or a home workshop. Enjoy the feel of a private country setting while remaining incredibly convenient-just over a mile to the shops, restaurants and community events of Downtown Wendell, minutes from Wendell Falls for even more shopping and dining, and with quick access to US-64, I-540 and I-440 for an easy connection to Raleigh and the surrounding Triangle. Vacant, move-in ready and waiting for its next owner-this one offers the charm, land, location and freedom that are increasingly hard to find!
