Property Description
Newly priced at $849,900, 3417 Horton Street now stands alone in the Lacy Elementary district: the largest active home at or below $900,000, with more bedrooms, more bathrooms, and the lowest price per square foot among the current competition. Set on an exceptionally private 0.6-acre wooded lot, it offers a combination of scale, land, privacy, and location no other active listing in this price range can match. Built by Jud Ammons, a name long associated with quality ITB construction, the home offers over 3,100 square feet of functional living space with a layout that provides both immediate comfort and long-term flexibility. What truly sets this property apart is the setting. With no immediate neighbors in front or behind, the home is surrounded by mature hardwoods, a small creek, and seasonal color that creates a peaceful, natural backdrop year-round. Kitchen and den share access to the elevated back deck, where the view stretches through a canopy of trees -- offering a level of privacy and quiet that is increasingly difficult to find this close to downtown. A flexible floorplan with 5 bedrooms plus a dedicated office allows for a variety of living arrangements, while a fully separate-entry suite with its own bath and kitchenette adds even more versatility -- ideal for guests, multigenerational living, workspace, or potential income. The home offers expansive, light-filled living areas, including a large combined living/dining space, an oversized den, and a fireplace that anchors the main living area. Thoughtful details like pocket doors and flexible-use rooms add character, while generous storage throughout supports everyday functionality. For buyers looking to personalize or elevate over time, the combination of scale, layout, and setting creates a unique opportunity to make it their own and end up with a truly unmatched property -- all while enjoying a home that is fully functional and livable from day one. An upper-level bonus room provides approximately 466 square feet of finished space (not included in the total square footage), offering a great option for a gym, studio, or media room, while a partially finished basement workshop with exterior access adds even more flexibility. Greenway access sits just at the end of the street, offering miles of scenic trails right outside your door. Beyond that, the home is just minutes from NC State, the Village District, downtown Raleigh, and major area hospitals, all within a friendly, established neighborhood with access to well-regarded schools. This is a different kind of Inside-the-Beltline opportunity -- one that prioritizes land, space, privacy, and flexibility, with the added upside of allowing the next owner to shape it into something truly special in a price range where those features are increasingly rare.
