Country charm meets city convenience at 6225 Donnybrook Drive! Tucked on nearly half an acre in a quiet, friendly neighborhood near Lake Wheeler — with NO city taxes and NO HOA — this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home is full of warmth and character. Gorgeous heart pine wood floors flow across the main level, where the generous family room centers on a wood-burning masonry fireplace with blower. The updated kitchen makes everyday living easy, and a separate dining room is ready for entertaining. Upstairs, bamboo floors lead to a spacious primary suite with updated bath, tile walk-in shower, and walk-in closet, plus two sizable bedrooms. Are you looking for a quiet home office, movie theatre room, or even a home gym? The spacious bonus room, located above an oversized two-car garage, is a great flex space to fit your needs! Out back, the large fenced yard is a homesteader's dream — room to relax, garden, and yes, even keep chickens, with a storage shed and coop already in place, plus dedicated storage room behind the garage. Downstairs HVAC updated in 2021 & 2024. All this just minutes to Crossroads shopping, downtown Raleigh, and an easy Triangle commute!
