1221 Barley Stone Way Raleigh, NC 27603

Listing details for 1221 Barley Stone Way, Raleigh, NC 27603 : You leave Downtown Raleigh, pass the last stretch of traffic and within minutes, the roads get quieter. The trees get taller. And by the time you turn into Olde Mill Trace, it feels like you've stepped outside the city entirely, even though you're barely ten minutes from it. That's the magic of 1221 Barley Stone Way. Close to an acre. A corner homesite wrapped in woods. Privacy that doesn't ask you to sacrifice convenience. On Saturday mornings you might walk to Historic Yates Mill Park, where the light hits the water just right and the trails are still quiet. In the summer, maybe it's an afternoon stroll down to Howling Cow for ice cream, followed by casting a fishing line in your canoe at Lake Wheeler. And as the day winds down and you make your way back through the neighborhood, the stillness follows you home. Built in 2020, Barley Stone carries the confidence of luxury new construction with the warmth of something already lived in and loved. Ten foot ceilings and oversized windows allow light to move across the hardwoods throughout the day. The kitchen opens naturally to gathering spaces and out to the screened porch, where doors stay open more often than not. Most of life unfolds effortlessly on the main level. The primary suite offers seclusion in its own wing. An additional bedroom and private office offer flexibility without ever feeling separated from the heart of the home. Upstairs, two expansive rooms wait to become whatever this next chapter requires...bunk rooms, exercise space, movie nights, creativity or a little bit of everything. Out back, the wooded buffer creates a sense of privacy that's increasingly rare this close to the city. With a thoughtfully positioned septic field allowing space for a future pool or hardscape retreat, the backyard feels less like a yard and more like an opportunity waiting to be shaped exactly how you picture it to be. A setting like this, with privacy, intentional design & proximity rarely come available....and that's what makes 1221 Barley Stone Way so special. Welcome home!
