ABOUT THIS HOMECome visit this gorgeous home nestled high atop an elevated lot in a quiet, NW Raleigh neighborhood and prepare to fall in love! 6517 South Side Drive is available immediately and sure to please. A long, private driveway with a expanded parking space welcomes you home each day and a covered front porch ensures you'll never be caught in the rain unlocking the front door. Once inside, you're greeted by an open-concept design filled with copious amounts of natural light, luxury plank floors and upgraded finishes. On the left side of the foyer, be sure not to miss the very neat custom shoe rack. Straight ahead, you'll next enter an expansive family room that includes a vaulted ceiling, a mount for a flat panel TV and a cozy fireplace with an electric insert that provides all of the ambience of a fire, without the smoke and hassle. The family room seamlessly intertwines with a perfectly-proportioned dining area that enjoys direct access to the adjacent kitchen as well as an entry to the backyard (more on that later). The kitchen showcases timeless white cabinetry with soft-close drawers, a built-in wine rack and under-cabinet lighting that accentuates acres of granite countertops. A suite of sleek, stainless-steel appliances are as functional as they are attractive. Finally, a spacious pantry and a bay window with room for a breakfast table rounds-out the kitchen experience. Heading back towards the bedrooms, you'll first visit the laundry center with a washer and dryer included for resident's use. Bedrooms #2 and #3 are both generously proportioned with great natural light and ample closet space. Bedroom #2 also enjoys durable and attractive luxury plank flooring. The secondary bedrooms both have easy access to a full hall bathroom with a marble-topped vanity and a tub/shower. The 16x11 primary bedroom showcases a vaulted ceiling, two picture windows, a flat panel TV mount, ceiling fan, an expansive walk-in closet and an en-suite bathroom complete with a jetted tub, a palladium window, a separate shower, tiled floors and an elongated, marble-topped vanity with dual sinks. The crown jewel of 6517 South Side Drive is undoubtedly its magnificent backyard! A brand-new privacy fence was just installed and the result is a private oasis just for you to enjoy! The back door opens out to a sprawling, double-tiered deck with a gazebo; this setup is perfect for BBQ's, entertaining, or just plain relaxing! The backyard also includes numerous shade trees, a garden bed and a storage shed that offers invaluable additional space for lawn maintenance and outdoor equipment.PROPERTY FEATURESAvailability: Available for immediate occupancyPet Friendly: Owner will consider up to 2 pets.
