Welcome to your dream home in the prestigious, gated Neuse Colony Estates, where the beauty of 6 miles of nature trails meet decidedly comfortable elegance. This stunningly updated property features 9-foot ceilings throughout and offers a generous 4,156 square feet of living space nestled on an expansive 3.13-acre lush landscape.

In the heart of the home, the gourmet chef's kitchen features new granite countertops, a new backsplash, and updated lighting. Cook to your heart's content while family or guests gather in the breakfast area under the vaulted ceiling or have a laugh in the large adjoining family room. Perhaps they simply want to lounge under the large picture window bathed in the day's sun or need to step outside to enjoy some fresh air on the covered, screened patio. Either way, you'll savor the moment and keep the conversation flowing in this thoughtfully designed open concept area. For more elegant entertaining, the formal dining room sets the stage for memorable dinners with its trey ceiling, chair rail, updated lighting, and hardwood floors which continue through to the adjoining formal living room. Here you'll find elegant custom-built oak bookcases surrounding an inviting gas fireplace. Keep the party going downstairs in the finished walkout basement with 9-foot ceilings that include a large flex/gaming space, separate billiard room encircled by a gorgeous custom white oak ''cue ledge'' (pool table is negotiable), a second large family room, and a full bathroom! When the day is done, retreat to your main bedroom oasis featuring a trey ceiling, an enormous walk-in closet, and a luxurious ensuite bath. You'll love the dual sinks, over 11 feet of vanity counter space, a Roman-style soaking tub, separate shower, and private water closet. All additional bedrooms come complete with new fans and walk-in closets, with one special bedroom boasting its own private balcony! Don't forget the absolutely enormous unfinished walk-up attic. With its high ceilings, this space is perfect for realizing your vision of a home theater, private office, bonus room, or just much-needed storage.
