Southern Wake County offers the perfect mix of country living with large lots and rolling terrain, with all of the advantages of living within a short drive of Raleigh. While living in the county generally means no subdivisions and a wide mix of housing types, occasionally there are scattered pocket subdivisions that kick it up a notch. The Valley Ridge subdivision is one of those types of gorgeous neighborhoods. Only 29 homesites are found in Valley Ridge, located off of Rock Service Station Road, just one half mile south of Highway 42. The original property was a heavily forested  ridge that sloped off to Little Creek from Rock Service Station Road. The developers smartly kept a the old trees, and have since created a beautiful place to live. One of the best ways to get to know a neighborhood is to take an in-depth look at one of the homes currently listed for sale. Fortunately, 2008 Hillyridge Court has just been presented to the market. This estate property in southern Wake County has room for everything you desire - fine interior features and resort-style amenities, located in a beautiful secluded subdivision at the end of a culdesac. It is close to the best features of Raleigh, and allows easy access to Interstate 40.

The brick home has all the formal rooms and upgrades you would expect in a home twice this price. It has large rooms, thoughtfully arranged for comfortable living. The home has rich hardwoods throughout the first floor as well as tile upgrades in the kitchen. The home has lots of windows and french-door access to the huge deck from the kitchen, great room, and master suite. The master bath is decadent, with cathedral ceilings, dual sinks, separate space for spa tub and travertine shower - a master suite to rival any resort! The upstairs bedrooms are all very large and have extra closet space (the builder went the extra mile here!), and the center bedroom almost feels like a balcony because of the huge window wall. The outdoor living spaces enhance the lifestyle opportunities of this property. There are separate areas for dining and lounging on the spacious deck, an additional nook with a built-in hot tub, and of course the pool and pool deck! This is one property that you just have to visit! Both you and your guests will appreciate the lifestyle this home provides. You will not find a more beautiful property in this area at this price point.
