543 Guilford Circle, Raleigh, NC 27608

Sitting on a sunny and desirable corner lot and full of high-quality upgrades and features, this is one of those homes that ''checks all the boxes'' and then some. By local builder Dixon Kirby standards, this home leans traditional (high ceilings, impressive mouldings, wainscoting and beautiful built-ins). The outdoor living here is exquisite, and the rear patio/courtyard is a true highlight. This south-facing house lives large, entertains and hosts extraordinarily well, and is located with walking distance of one of ITB's favorite schools, Joyner Elementary. Everything from Trader Joes and Costco and Wegmans to the post office are but a 3-4 minute drive from here -- or get on your sneakers and walk through the neighborhood over to Five Points. This is the kind of neighborhood where friends are made quickly and easily. Two pocket parks within the neighborhood plus a swimming pool and small playground. City of Raleigh greenway trails and soccer fields are walking distance.
