About this home

Welcome to 1605 Essexwood Drive in the Sterling Ridge neighborhood of Fuquay-Varina. This thoughtfully designed home offers a flexible layout, a private setting, and convenient access to everyday shopping, dining, schools, and major routes. The open-concept main living area features 9-foot ceilings, a gas fireplace, and an in-wall TV power kit designed to keep wires hidden when a television is mounted above the fireplace. The updated kitchen includes soft-close cabinetry, quartz countertops, a deep sink, stainless steel appliances, a large center island, and generous storage, with an adjoining dining area that provides plenty of space for everyday meals or entertaining. The primary bedroom is located on the main floor and includes a private bath with dual vanities, a tiled walk-in shower, separate soaking tub, and walk-in closet. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms provide space for family, guests, hobbies, or a home office. A large second-floor bonus room adds even more flexibility for a media room, playroom, game room, or additional workspace. Outdoor living is enhanced by a 12 x 22 screened-in deck, while the backyard offers a private setting backing to a wooded area with farmland beyond. A walk-in crawl space provides additional storage, and a large grassy hill directly in front of the home offers additional space that can be enjoyed for recreational activities. Located just off Hwy 401, the home is convenient to Harris Teeter, ALDI, Downtown Fuquay-Varina shopping and dining, and Target approximately 0.5 miles away. Fuquay-Varina Elementary School is also located directly outside the development, adding to the convenience of this Sterling Ridge location.
