One-of-a-kind Home, Community, and Neighbors! Become only the 2nd renter in this modern, nearly NEW 5 BR, 3 BA home (less than 1 year old) in the fastest growing county in North Carolina. This house is awesome with upgrades not included by the builder that save you money or prevent you from spending it. They include - Beautiful NEW fans (3), GE upgraded appliances including washer/dryer, customized blinds, 55" Smart TV in entertainment room, shower curtains, epoxy garage flooring, drawer & cabinet liners, and backyard fencing. Benefit from a full bedroom and bath on the first floor; great for those who don't love stairs. Upgraded quartz kitchen island looks out to the family room with upgraded granite fireplace. The second floor features a large bonus room. Refined accents include custom cabinets, crown molding, tray ceilings, brushed nickel light features with satin nickel cabinet and drawer pulls. Ring Video doorbell with Smart Lock, EcoSmart/Green technology & LVP flooring. Sit in your screened-in porch and enjoy looking at wildlife (including our albino deer) in the wooded nature preserve. You also have GREAT neighbors! Your Neighborhood -- Small town community with big town fun and amenities. You are located just beyond the 400-acre Triple R Ranch, which serves 10,000 guests annually with horseback riding and nature trails. Enjoy early morning walks, runs, and bike rides in the neighborhood or the Greenway. Local golf, tennis and Pickleball. For water recreation, kayak or tube on the Tar River, 1.4 miles away, or enjoy boating, fishing, and wakeboarding at Falls Lake (25 min), or Lake Gaston (50 min). Local grocery stores (Food Lion, Harris Teeter), Farmer's market, and restaurants from casual (Toros Tacos) to upscale (Franko's Italian Steakhouse) make dining in or out fun and convenient. If you like breweries and live music, you will love the popular Owl's Roost. Right out your front door, enjoy enclosed park with swing set. Finally, enjoy Friday night on Franklin, a neighborhood-wide celebration of art, performance, music, and movies. If you need the Bigger Town, Wake Forest is only 11 miles South, & the popular Country Club of Wakefield (Raleigh) is only 20 minutes away. Minimum 12 months as per the HOA. This is a terrific house and community. I will consider a small dog and potentially other pet(s) on a case by case basis.
