Welcome to Auburn Village - one of Raleigh's premier 55+ active lifestyle communities, where low-maintenance living meets resort-style amenities. This 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom ranch home offers a thoughtfully designed open-concept layout, all on one level. Built in 2021 and meticulously maintained, this home offers the feel of new construction at a fraction of the cost. The kitchen is the centerpiece of the main living area, featuring quartz countertops, a subway tile backsplash, gas range, and an oversized island with bar seating - open to the living space for easy entertaining. Hardwood-style flooring runs throughout the main living areas, with carpet in the bedrooms and tile in the wet areas. The primary suite includes a tray ceiling, dual-sink vanity with quartz countertops, a tile-accented walk-in shower, and a spacious walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms offer flexibility for guests or a home office, served by a full guest bath. Additional highlights include a screened porch overlooking a private, tree-lined backyard, a two-car garage with built-in shelving, and a full laundry room. The homesite is ideally positioned - walking distance to the clubhouse, with no homes directly behind. Community amenities include a resort-style saltwater pool, hot tub, clubhouse, fitness center, pickleball courts, bocce ball, walking trails, and a fire pit area. Yard maintenance is HOA-managed for truly low-maintenance living. This is not just a home; it's a lifestyle. Let's make it yours!
