Property Description
Welcome to 3208 Shady Grove Road, a magnificent brick 1.5 story estate that perfectly balances southern charm with expansive privacy. Nestled on a park-like 2.95-acre lot, this property makes a grand first impression with its sweeping circular driveway and a classic wrap-around rocking chair front porch that invites you to slow down and relax. Boasting 4,724 square feet of beautifully designed living space, this home offers four bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms, providing an abundance of room for both grand-scale entertaining and comfortable everyday living. The main level showcases exceptional craftsmanship, highlighted by elegant crown molding throughout the first floor. At the heart of the home, the large family room features a stately stone fireplace and mantle, creating a warm and cozy focal point. For effortless indoor-outdoor living, a screened porch opens off the family room. This space flows seamlessly into a formal dining room and a gourmet kitchen complete with stunning granite countertops. The main floor is also home to a spacious first-floor owner's suite, a private sanctuary featuring a luxurious bathroom with a large whirlpool tub, and a separate walk-in shower. For more indoor-outdoor living, a side porch opens off the master bedroom, leading out to a private hot tub perfect for unwinding at the end of the day. Upstairs, you will find huge secondary bedrooms, a versatile loft area equipped with custom built-ins, and an additional flex room that serves as the perfect home gym or private office. One of the most remarkable features of this estate is the fully finished lower-level Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU). Complete with its own full kitchen, laundry room, bedroom, bathroom, and durable LVP flooring added in 2019, this separate living area is ideal for an in-law suite or excellent rental potential. Practical needs are effortlessly met by the attached three-car garage, which includes a dedicated workshop and ample storage space. Combined with an unbeatable location convenient to Brier Creek shopping and dining, RDU Airport, Umstead Park, and Lake Lynn, this exceptional property offers a rare combination of acreage, luxury, and convenience.
