Over a half acre in North Raleigh! Rare opportunity to rent a freshly painted home on a private half acre in one of North Raleigh's most desirable outdoor recreation areas. This thoughtfully designed 928-square-foot home lives larger than its size thanks to an efficient floor plan with no wasted hallway space, creating spacious living areas and generously sized bedrooms. Plus it has 10 foot ceilings! Inside, you'll find beautiful original hardwood floors throughout, a large living room (14' x 13'), 2 spacious bedrooms, and abundant natural light. High-speed internet is available, making this home ideal for working from home or streaming. The 0.55-acre lot provides privacy and room that's difficult to find in a rental. The partially fenced backyard is perfect for relaxing, gardening, or giving a small dog room to play. There's also plenty of space to park a boat, camper, RV, trailer, or extra vehicles saving you the cost and hassle of renting off-site storage.
