Rarely does a home come along in Lambeth Riding that offers this kind of space, privacy, and backyard setting all wrapped into one. Situated on a gorgeous fenced . 8-acre lot in the highly sought-after North Star area and Red Clay School District, 202 Cain Rue is the kind of home buyers wait for. From the moment you pull up, the timeless Dutch Colonial design, mature trees, and incredible curb appeal immediately stand out. Inside, you’ll find over 2,800 square feet above grade with hardwood floors, fresh paint throughout, spacious room sizes, and a layout that flows beautifully for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen is truly the heart of the home featuring granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, oversized center island seating, and an open flow directly into the cozy family room with brick wood burning fireplace and sliding glass doors leading out to the rear deck and backyard oasis. Upstairs offers 4 spacious bedrooms including a primary retreat with walk-in closet, dressing area, and updated bath. The finished lower level provides incredible additional living and entertaining space, including a large recreation area currently set up as a theater, an additional full bath, flexible guest/sleeping space with egress access, and an enclosed storage room at the base of the stairs offering plenty of extra storage possibilities. The backyard is where this property truly shines. Flat, fenced, private yards are incredibly hard to find in this area. Whether it’s entertaining on the deck, hosting gatherings, kids playing, pets running, or simply relaxing outside, this is the kind of yard people dream about. Major updates include most windows replaced by Renewal by Andersen, roof replaced in 2020, newer HVAC updates including a heat pump in 2024, newer AC, and more. Homes with this combination of lot size, neighborhood, updates, and living space do not come available often. Schedule your tour before this opportunity is gone.
