Feels off-the-beaten-path, but only minutes to everything you need, with a quirky design and a focus on comfort. Keep it simple at this extremely peaceful yet centrally-located home away from home. You'll feel the stress melt away as you travel down the gravel road to get to your half of this secluded ranch style duplex. Stare out into the pond as you sip on your coffee and take in the sounds of nature. You'll feel as if you're far from town but you are actually pretty central to Raleigh, Wendell, Knightdale and Zebulon. Located less than a mile from the sprawling Wendell Falls mega neighborhood, this listing is for one half of a townhouse style duplex known as Hidden Pond Lodge. They say that the Greater Raleigh area is a really cool spot because you are "about 2 hours from the beach, and 2 hours from the mountains..." SO we took that idea and ran with it! We decorated and furnished this eastern side of the duplex with "Beachy Getaway" in mind, featuring an array of NC locally sourced decor and artwork reminiscent of a cottage you may find in Carolina Beach, The Outer Banks, or Emerald Isle. The other side, respectively, has a "Mountain Vibes" theme, and it looks like a mountain cabin with notes of Asheville, Brevard, and Boone. You will find plenty of room to stretch out in the living room with a large sofa and matching loveseat. This unit has 3 good sized bedrooms, each with a queen sized bed and closet space for storing your clothes/items. With 2 full bathrooms, your whole crew will stay out of each other's way. The fully stocked kitchen is equipped with everything you need if you feel like staying in and cooking a meal, and a dishwasher to ease the pain of cleanup. The Eat-in kitchen has a solid wood table with seating for 4. The master bedroom has an ensuite (private bathroom) with a spacious shower. Newly updated and painted home with a covered porch to relax and enjoy some well deserved quiet time! Beach-themed rooms with new beds, kitchen with stainless steel appliances, and everything you need to make this your family's favorite place to stay in the Raleigh area. We have a Large Smart TV with Roku, so you can watch NETFLIX, YouTube, Prime Video, Hulu, and more. Free Wi-Fi included!
