Where shall we start? With Brightleaf at the Park? Raleigh and Durham, or with 1602 Eagle Lodge? It's a hard choice because each is part of the story. FOR ''JUST THE FACTS,'' SCROLL DOWN! Brightleaf at the Park is a welcoming, family-friendly neighborhood known for beautiful homes, tree-lined streets, and a strong sense of community. Nestled between Durham and Raleigh, it's perfectly positioned for easy access to both cities, RTP, and the airport. The neighborhood features a clubhouse, pool, playgrounds, tennis courts, and scenic walking trails, allowing you to live and enjoy the place you'll call home. If you're new here, it's worth getting to know the Triangle's cities. Each bursts with energy, creativity, and culture. In Raleigh, grab dinner at Poole's Diner, catch a show at Red Hat Amphitheater, or sip cocktails at one of many rooftop bars. Visit the museums, with a special shout-out to the NC Museum of Natural Sciences. In Durham, the foodie scene shines — from wood-fired pizzas at Pizzeria Toro to unforgettable sushi at M-Sushi. Cheer on the Durham Bulls, hop between craft breweries, and dive into the city's rich arts scene, with the Durham Performing Arts Center, American Dance Festival, and Full Frame Documentary Film Festival anchoring the cultural calendar. But the most important aspect of these three is the place that you'll call home. 1602 Eagle Lodge has been meticulously cared for by the original owner, who purchased it in 2006 and replaced the roof in 2018. This home, perched on a corner lot and framed by mature trees, offers a 2-car side-entry garage. Why does it matter? Even with the most beautiful garage doors, front-entry garages interrupt the architectural details. Side-entry designs allow the front façade to remain uncluttered, allowing for a more balanced and attractive appearance. The open foyer invites you in and is framed by an offset formal staircase accented with crafted hardwood posts and wrought-iron newel posts. 1602 features 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths. It has a thoughtful floor plan with formal and casual living spaces. Enjoy gatherings in the elegant formal dining room, relax and read in the living room, or gather in the family room — an inviting space that naturally brings family and friends together, making it easy to chat while meals are prepared. Work from home? No problem! There is a dedicated office, along with a game room loft and bonus room offering endless possibilities — from a home gym to a teenage hangout or hobby space. At the end of the day, retreat to the owner's suite — complete with a soaring cathedral ceiling and an expansive ensuite bath — separated from the three other bedrooms, offering much-needed privacy. And we can't forget the honorable mention: a second tucked-away staircase providing easy upstairs access and stationed right by the garage and drop zone, helping keep life's daily clutter out of sight. 1602 Eagle Lodge is ready and waiting for someone to make it their own and infuse it with personal style, becoming the perfect backdrop for your next chapter!
