4008 Blackard Pond Rd, Raleigh, NC 27604

Property Description

Travel at all and you hope the road ends in a familiar place. What facilitates familiarity? Lifestyle; the kind where mornings start with peaceful pond views, wildlife wanders by like welcomed neighbors, and there's finally room to breathe, unwind, and enjoy life. Primely positioned on the outskirts of Raleigh, 4008 Blackard Pond epitomizes privacy, natural beauty, and comfort. Situated on a sprawling wooded lot, the private drive leads to a residence where towering timber and a meandering creek steady the senses while serene pond views set the tone. Inside, the home features expansive windows that frame the surrounding woods and water. The main living area boasts warm finishes and a seamless flow through the kitchen and dining areas - ideal for both everyday living and gathering with those you love. Pine floors and stained wood trim accentuate the bucolic style that embodies the interior of the home. An updated kitchen is thoughtfully designed and centered around the Shaws Original Farmhouse Sink, ample cabinetry, and an island that consistently delivers as the heart of the home. Down the hall, beyond a full bath, an inviting den with a fireplace encourages you to recline with french doors expanding into the formal living area. The primary suite and additional bedrooms complete the central array of upstairs living. Work hard in the main level office and unwind harder in the upstairs bonus room accessed via a separate staircase, just off the spacious 2-bay garage. Step outside to enjoy the expansive deck and patio, where you can sip your morning coffee while watching wildlife by the water (gently reminding you who really owns the place), or unwind in the evenings with peaceful sunset views over the pond. The generous grounds offer ample space for gardening, recreation, or simply enjoying life's rare, still moments. Despite it's secluded feel, this home is conveniently located just a short drive from Raleigh's finest offerings including shopping, dining, and primary commuter routes. Less than 2 miles off I-540 and within 11 miles of Downtown Raleigh and North Hills. Aim high on this wooded retreat - with a little more elbow room than you're probably used to.
