513 Raleigh St Fuquay Varina, NC 27526

Some homes simply have a presence, and this captivating Tudor style gem in the heart of Fuquay Varina is one of them. Framed by mature trees and filled with architectural personality, its solid brick exterior, dramatic gables, and graceful arched entry create the kind of storybook curb appeal that immediately stands apart. Even more impressive is the investment that has gone into the home, with invoices available documenting more than $38,000 in completed upgrades, additions, and improvements including a new gas range, new washer, and new dryer! Buyers will appreciate substantial structural enhancements and a new continuous crawl space vapor barrier. Beyond the behind the scenes improvements, there is plenty to get excited about, including approximately 260 feet of new six foot wood privacy fencing with double and single gates, beautiful cedar fence boards, a new exterior gas connection ready for the grill, cleaned and sanitized ductwork, new aluminum screening at the gables, and additional electrical improvements. The kitchen received even more attention with a new gas line to the stove, updated electrical service for the range, a new half horsepower garbage disposal with reconfigured plumbing, and an impressive custom refrigerator cabinet extending to the ceiling with matching crown molding and eight rollout drawers. Inside, refinished hardwood floors, wonderful natural light, and a classic wood burning fireplace create a warm and inviting atmosphere, while the renovated kitchen shines with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, generous cabinetry, designer lighting, and a spacious peninsula made for gathering. Updated bathrooms feature tiled showers and timeless finishes, along with corrected exterior bathroom ventilation. Spacious main level bedrooms are complemented by more than 600 square feet upstairs with additional bedrooms, bonus rooms, and flexible spaces ready for guests, an office, studio, playroom, or whatever life calls for next. Separate exterior access upstairs adds even more possibilities. A level lot, detached garage, generous parking, and fantastic outdoor space complete the property, all just moments from the restaurants, coffee shops, breweries, boutiques, parks, and community events that make downtown Fuquay Varina such an exciting place to live. With convenient access to US 401 and NC 55, Raleigh, Holly Springs, Apex, and the greater Triangle are within easy reach. This is Tudor charm with serious substance, surprising space, and an incredible collection of improvements already completed for its next owner!
