About this home
There's something lovely about coming home to a little more room to breathe. Set on a flat .68-acre lot, 167 Whistling Duck Drive offers peaceful surroundings just 10 minutes from Downtown Wendell and 30 minutes from Raleigh. The rocking-chair front porch welcomes you in, and the spacious screened porch, complete with a ceiling fan, invites you to stay awhile. Step onto the patio for open views and a beautiful place to end the day. An oversized shed gives you room for tools, hobbies, and all those projects you've been meaning to start. Leased solar panels are another thoughtful feature. Inside, craftsman trim, double crown molding, and wood shelving bring warmth and character. The open floor plan connects a dining room with wainscoting to a comfortable family room with built-ins and a fireplace. The kitchen is ready for everyday meals and gatherings alike, with upgraded cabinetry, double ovens, stainless appliances, an island, and a generous pantry. Upstairs, the flex room over the garage can become the office, craft room, or personal retreat you need. The primary suite offers tray ceilings, a spacious walk-in closet, and a bath with dual sinks, a freestanding soaking tub, and a separate shower. LVP flooring in the main areas, ceiling fans throughout, and plenty of natural light make the home as easy to live in as it is to love. Come for the space. Stay for the feeling of being right at home.
