Welcome to 188 W Alex, a beautifully remodeled lakefront home offering privacy, modern finishes, and an ideal Clayton location.
This 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home was fully remodeled in December 2025 and is completely move-in ready. Updates include engineered hardwood floors throughout, quartz countertops, new cabinetry in the kitchen and bathrooms, fresh paint, and a new water heater. The layout is both functional and comfortable, featuring a primary suite on the main level, a convenient mudroom entry, and flexible space for home offices or guests.
Set on nearly an acre, the lakefront backyard offers peaceful views, abundant nature, and beautiful sunsets. A large back deck provides the perfect space to relax or entertain. The lake allows non-motorized activities such as kayaking and paddleboarding, creating a calm, natural setting without sacrificing convenience.
Additional features include a two-car garage, attic storage, and pets considered on an individual basis. The home is tucked away in a quiet, welcoming neighborhood with great neighbors, yet is just 20 minutes from downtown Raleigh and 10 minutes from White Oak Shopping Center.
Enjoy the rare combination of updated lakefront living, privacy, and proximity to everything Clayton and Raleigh have to offer.
