Okay, THIS is a house with something to say.I’m 5701 Agrinio Way, and I came prepared with nearly 2,500 square feet of beautiful, bright, stretch-your-legs living in Raleigh’s Royal Creek. Four bedrooms, THREE full baths, a dedicated office, upstairs... loft, screened porch, fireplace, 2-car garage and a floor plan that clearly understood the assignment.The fun starts the minute you walk through my front door. Glass French doors open to a dedicated office, while a FIRST-FLOOR BEDROOM and full bath give you the kind of flexibility that is downright hard to find. Work from home without sacrificing a bedroom. Give overnight guests their own space. Finally have a floor plan that can keep up with real life.Then I open up, and WOW do I open up.My kitchen is BIG, beautiful and ready to be the center of everything. Granite counters stretch across a huge island, there’s gas cooking, stainless appliances, a walk-in pantry and enough cabinetry to make even your Costco habit look reasonable. The kitchen flows straight into my dining and living areas with high ceilings, crown molding, windows everywhere and a fireplace bringing just the right amount of cozy to all this gorgeous open space.Now, pick your porch.Out front, I have a covered porch with enough room to actually USE it. Give me comfy chairs, plants and twinkle lights and make the neighbors jealous. Out back, my covered SCREENED porch is waiting just off the living area. Coffee before the world wakes up. Dinner outside. Rainy afternoons. A glass of something good after a long day. All the fresh air, dramatically fewer bugs. We love that.Upstairs? I’m still showing off.My loft is not some tiny landing with an identity crisis. It is a BIG second living space ready for movie nights, gaming, workouts, playtime, reading, lounging or whatever makes your household happy. My full-size laundry room is up here too, complete with cabinetry and washer and dryer, because hauling laundry baskets between floors is wildly overrated.And then there’s my primary suite.Bring. The. Furniture.I have ROOM. King bed? Obviously. Big dresser? Yep. Nightstands? Both of them. That chair everyone buys for “reading” and eventually covers with clothes? I have room for her too. Multiple windows pour in natural light, while the split-bedroom layout gives the primary suite some welcome breathing room.My primary bath brings a large tiled walk-in shower, double-sink granite vanity, private water closet and natural light. Add the secondary bedrooms, another full bath and my rear-entry TWO-CAR GARAGE, and I’m checking boxes you probably thought you’d have to compromise on.And Royal Creek deserves some attention too. This newer Raleigh neighborhood gives you sidewalks and streetlights, a community playground RIGHT HERE on Agrinio Way and a year-round pond adding a pretty little touch to the community. Take an evening stroll, get outside for some fresh air or head down the street to the playground. This feels like a neighborhood, not just an address.Now let’s talk LOCATION because this part is GOOD. I’m near Ten-Ten Road and US-401 with Costco practically around the corner, plus groceries, restaurants, shopping, medical care and everyday conveniences nearby. Wake Tech’s Southern Wake Campus is close, and access to the I-540 extension makes getting around this side of the Triangle even easier.So no, I’m not asking you to “make it work.”I already work.I’m the big-kitchen, light-the-fireplace, close-the-office-doors, lounge-on-the-screened-porch, spread-out-in-the-loft, FINALLY-have-enough-room kind of home.And if that sounds suspiciously like the house you’ve been hoping would pop up for rent...Hi. I’ve been waiting for you. Read More
