About this homeThis charming and affordable home is nestled in the heart of Raleigh's Hedingham neighborhood and available for immediate occupancy. 2480 Sapphire Valley Drive breaks the mold of the typical "cookie-cutter" homes that are so common these days. Upon arrival, you're greeted by a spacious driveway and a Charlestonian-esque facade that boasts a brick staircase welcoming you to an exterior door. Upon entering, you'll next find yourself on a covered porch overlooking a private, fenced-in yard as well as a private courtyard. These features are exceedingly rare in our market and offer an opportunity to enjoy a stupendous outdoor living space that could be utilized in many different manners. Imagine an expansive grilling/BBQ area with outdoor seating, a firepit, etc. This property will surely continue to impress you inside. The foyer opens on the right to a lovely and bright family room showcasing tall ceilings, multiple picture windows, an updated, vintage-inspired ceiling fan, gorgeous and durable luxury plank floors and a cozy fireplace with a flat panel TV mount and custom built-in cabinetry flanking both sides. Heading towards the rear of the home, you'll next enter a beautiful open-concept kitchen and dining area. The kitchen has been significantly updated and boasts granite countertops atop timeless white upper and lower cabinetry. A custom glass backsplash accentuates the counters and the "bling" continues with a suite of sleek, stainless-steel appliances. You'll love the island as well as the large pantry and the double-bowl undermount sink with a window overlooking the private backyard. An adjacent dining area is perfectly-proportioned and includes additional luxury plank flooring, a double picture window and an updated chandelier. Before heading upstairs, be sure not to miss the laundry center (with washer/dryer included for resident's use) as well as the tucked-away 1/2 bathroom. The second floor is home to all three bedrooms! The primary bedroom is quite spacious and it includes dual windows, a tray ceiling with an updated ceiling fan, a walk-in closet and an updated, en-suite bathroom showcasing dual sinks on an elongated vanity, picture frame mirrors, luxury tile floors, a garden tub, a separate, walk-in shower and a water closet too.
