Private .80-Acre Retreat in Wendell, NC — 4 Bed, 3 Bath, No City Taxes! Looking for space, privacy, and low costs in Wendell? This 4-bedroom, 3-full-bath home sits on the largest active private lot in the neighborhood — .80 acres buffered on all sides by HOA-owned land, with low HOA dues and no city taxes. The open-concept main level centers on a kitchen built for gathering, with granite counters, a tile backsplash, stainless appliances, and a large island. The main-floor owner's suite offers a tray ceiling, an oversized walk-in closet, a double-sink vanity, and a five-foot shower, plus two additional main-floor bedrooms for flexibility. Upstairs, a large bonus room, full bath, and an additional bedroom create space for guests, a home office, or a playroom — with walk-in attic storage keeping everything organized. Outside, the screened porch overlooks a private, wooded backyard buffered by HOA land on every side — rare in this neighborhood, and ideal for quiet mornings or entertaining. Septic is off site, so maximum flexibility for any backyard dreams you may have! Minutes from Turnipseed Nature Preserve trails (1 mile), Wendell Falls (3 miles), and historic downtown Wendell's shops and restaurants, just 20 minutes to Downtown Raleigh. This home offers the best of both worlds, small-town charm with easy access to nature and modern conveniences. Septic is off-site, to left of home, but drain fields carry across the street to an easement. This allows for maximum flexibility in back yard,!
