Welcome home to this gorgeous 5 bedroom home, located in The Highgate Community of Clayton. Located a stones throw to Downtown Clayton, as well as all of Claytons amenities, and a short drive to the White Oak Shopping Center, with Raleigh an easy commute as well. Additionally, highway 540 will be complete in the next few years, and is a short distance away as well. This home sits on a preferred lot, towards the end of the street, with the rear set against a natural tree filled open space, that will stay. The backyard has a high quality vinyl privacy fence, covered porch, grilling patio, storage shed, and mature blackberry vines to boot! This home was upgraded heavily when building selections took place by sellers. First, the MASSIVE mahogany front door sets the tone, as you enter into the home. The main level will have 9' ceilings throughout. Flooring is a beautiful engineered hardwood, in all first floor areas less the full bathroom and guest bedroom. Entering the foyer, you'll find natural light, an upgraded stair railing with elaborate balusters, and custom made sliding hardwood doors that lead to an office. The office has custom built-ins, a trimmed ceiling, and another hidden pocket door leading to the kitchen. The kitchen speaks for itself, with soft close cabinetry, stone backsplash, top of the line quartz, a walk-in hard-shelved pantry, and top-end appliances. The appliances themselves are from the brushed black (steel) CAFE brand, and include a refrigerator that will keep food cool, as well as brew k-cup coffee. Can you say fancy schmancy? Also notice the unique drop lighting above the huge stainless single bowl sink. Entire home has blinds already installed. There is a dinette directly adjacent to the kitchen as well as an overhang for barstools. The living area is well lit with natural light, and has a natural gas log fireplace. Also downstairs, you'll find a full bathroom with a beautiful tile floor, guest bedroom, and a drop zone at the garage door for shoes, coats, etc. The Garage floor is oversized with a bump out, so room for two cars AND a workbench or storage. It's also had the floor flaked and epoxied. The tankless water heater can be found in the garage. It is natural gas, as is the cooktop in the kitchen, the furnace for the entire home (hot hot heat), logs, and a natural gas supply for the dryer in the laundry room. The laundry room itself is located upstairs in its own room, with the majority of bedrooms for easy transfer of dirty clothes, and has a deep sink as well as custom cabinetry. Owner's suite has a stunning trey ceiling, and well designed for a large bed to sit between the two windows. The owner's bathroom is also upgraded with a beautiful flooring tile, dual vanity, tile wrapped soaker tub, water closet with amazing heated bidet, and a stunning frameless walk-in shower, complete soaking seat and multiple showerheads, for spa like relaxation. And then a HUGE walk-in closet, complete with hard painted shelving. Two more original bedrooms and a full bath are located on the second floor. There is also a huge closed in bonus room, completely prewired for a theatre with some speakers still in the ceiling. This room could additionally be used as the 5th bedroom if needed, as it does have a full closet, which is where the theatres electronics were previously stored. Also found in this closet is your smart home box, which the whole home has been wired for ethernet from, as well as Wi-Fi hubs built-in throughout the home. Additionally, the home is wired with smart lighting and The Phillips Hue System. Every bathroom in the home has upgraded countertops, cabinetry, and tile floors. The Highgate community has a large clubhouse connected to the even larger swimming pool, which is part of the HOA dues.
