Ooooooo Whee, She’s a Beaut! 9012 Ray Road Is Ready to Steal Your Rental Search

 

Come on up! Nice to Meet You!

You saw the porch, didn’t you? Of course you did. Stone, that warm wood ceiling, lanterns, a gorgeous front door and enough actual porch for rocking chairs. And when spring rolls around? Add a couple of giant cascading flower baskets and call it a day.

Now open the door.

Because I have something VERY important to tell you.

NO. STAIRS. NOT ONE.

Four bedrooms. THREE full bathrooms. A split floor plan. Nearly 2,800 square feet.

All on one level.

You're welcome.

And those hardwood floors you noticed when you walked in? They keep going. So do the details. Arches. Millwork. Wainscoting. High ceilings. Crown molding. A formal dining room.

This doesn't feel like a rental, does it?

Exactly.

Keep Coming.

The family room opens up with a vaulted ceiling, big windows and a gas fireplace.

Cool Carolina evening. Fire on. Shoes off. Something good cooking.

You see it.

And speaking of cooking, the kitchen brings rich cabinetry, granite counters, a breakfast nook and a generous breakfast bar.

Now, we're not going to the bedrooms yet.

There's another door I want you to open first.

Go ahead.

RIGHT?!

THIS Screened Porch.

Look UP.

That rich wood ceiling is back, except this time there are TWO skylights and a ceiling fan. Screens wrap around the porch with mature trees and the backyard beyond them.

Morning coffee. Dinner outside. A laptop on a pretty afternoon. Rain moving through the trees while you stay dry.

And mosquitoes?

They can admire you through the screen.

Now look past it.

Almost an acre.

Before you start calculating how much of your Saturday that yard is about to consume...

PUT THE MOWER BACK.

Lawn care is included.

Even better? The home is served by private well and septic, so there is no monthly water or sewer bill.

Oh, and there's a tankless water heater.

I told you I wasn't finished.

NOW We Can Talk Bedrooms.

The split floor plan gives the primary suite some separation, with hardwood floors, a tray ceiling and a huge walk-in closet with built-in shelving.

Then there’s the private bath with both a soaking tub and separate glass walk-in shower.

The primary suite shares one side of the home with the office and one additional bedroom, while two more bedrooms and another full bathroom are tucked on the opposite side.

Bedroom? Office? Workout room? Creative space? The room where everything gets thrown when somebody says they're ten minutes away? That's our secret :)

And you still haven't climbed a stair.

And you still haven't climbed a stair.

Check the Garage Before You Go.

Two-car garage? Of course.

But there’s also a ramp from the garage into the house.

Groceries. Luggage. Something heavy on wheels. Or simply skipping that annoying step between the garage and the door.

Apparently somebody said, “Nah. We can do better.”

I approve.

And Then There’s My Location.

Here’s where I get a little unfair to the other houses you saved.

I’m tucked into North Raleigh’s 27613, near Leesville Road and I-540, with convenient access toward Downtown Raleigh, RTP, RDU and Durham.

But when you come home?

Trees. Almost an acre. A peaceful backyard. That screened porch.

That’s the trick here.

You don't have to choose between space and connection. I give you both.

See What Happened?

You came here looking for a North Raleigh rental.

Now you've decided where the sofa goes.

You've claimed your spot on the screened porch.

You're mentally hanging ferns out front.

That's how this happens.

9012 Ray Road brings four bedrooms, three full bathrooms, one-level living, a split floor plan, hardwood floors, almost an acre, lawn care included, private well, tankless water heater, a two-car garage with a ramp into the house and two porches that are absolutely showing off.

No pets. No smoking. Call for rental requirements. First month's rent, security deposit and processing fee are due at lease signing. Tenant pays electricity, gas, internet and trash service.

Come see me before somebody else starts hanging ferns on my porch.
