6328 Nowell Pointe Drive Raleigh, NC 27607

Calling all garden enthusiasts and nature lovers, a beautifully landscaped home with thriving native plants, a fenced yard and a wired shed with both a water spigot and a front porch is now ON THE MARKET. Don't wait on this one. A move-in ready house that is this pristine and this thoughtfully designed - within 4 miles of the Arboretum at NC State University - doesn't come along every day.



The charming home at 6328 Nowell Pointe in Raleigh has known only one owner since it was built in 1998. At 1800+ square feet, it offers a traditional floorplan with formal dining room, eat-in kitchen, first-floor owners' suite, vaulted ceilings, second-floor catwalk, hardwood floors with exquisite in-lays, gas fireplace, a delightful captain's window and skylights.

The home faces southeast and gets full sun in the front yard in the morning. The expansive windows in the 2-story foyer are tinted with UV filters to keep the hardwood floors beautiful. Speaking of the floors, notice the custom in-lays in both the formal dining room and the living room. The owners intentionally used oak, cherry and walnut pieces so that antique furniture of different hardwood materials would match the inlays for a stunning, coordinated display.

Notice the details in this home: The 3 pocket doors in the dining room create a quiet place for a home office. The built-in, solid oak bench in the breakfast nook offers storage. The kitchen backsplash is scattered with painted botanical illustrations with Latin labels. Both the front and back entries boast storm doors that come with lifetime guarantees. Screens for these doors are stored in the spacious unfinished attic. Simply trade them out when the weather turns and allow springtime breezes to flow through the home.

The first-floor owners' suite is a true sanctuary with vaulted ceilings and windows that face the backyard. The owners' bathroom offers double sinks, an all-tile shower with 2 niches, a bench and a handheld 2nd shower nozzle. This custom feature is perfect for family members who need to sit while they bathe or for pets that don't fit in the garage's utility sink.

There is no carpeting on the first floor. The cream-colored Berber carpet on the staircase extends through the 3 bedrooms (or 2 bedrooms and a bonus room) on the second floor. That 4th bedroom offers so much versatility. If you don't need the additional sleeping quarters, convert the space to a playroom, game room, art studio, workout gym or homeschooling classroom.

One of the secondary bedrooms upstairs offers an in-suite half bath, while a full bathroom in the hall caters to the entire second floor.

The Samsung washer and dryer will remain in the home, as will the Bose outdoor speakers and the awning over the front stoop. The two-car extended garage offers a pedestrian door, utility sink, workbench and peg boards. There are more workbenches and peg boards in the standalone shed out back. The shed is insulated and offers electricity, light fixtures, a heater, ceiling fan and an exterior water spigot. The shed is painted a soft butter yellow to match the main house. The shed's front porch calls for a rocking chair and a pitcher of sun tea.

From the shed's front porch, admire the dogwood trees, camellia, mountain-laurel and magnolias. The fig trees do indeed produce fruit and the trellis in the front yard guides blackberry bushes.

More than 42 acres lie beyond the property, owned by the State of North Carolina. The sellers say deer, fox and birds visit this land often - a natural oasis within reach of some of Raleigh's most sought-after destinations: the Raleigh-Durham Airport, Lenovo Arena, NC State University and the state Fairgrounds and Farmer's Market.
