97 Sunset Ridge Drive

There's a presence to this Georgian-style Apex home in Ballard Woods that hits you the moment you pull up, thanks to a double-stacked porch design that gives the whole facade real curb appeal. A smart door delivery center out front keeps packages safe and out of the weather until you're ready for them. Walk through the foyer and you're greeted by a double pocket office just inside, light-filled and ready to become two separate work-from-home setups, a homework station, or whatever the household needs on any given day, without anyone having to share a desk. The gourmet kitchen anchors the main living space, built around an oversized island with seating on three sides, perfect for morning coffee, homework help, or catching up with the people you love after a long day. The cafe just beyond offers plenty of room for everyday dining, while the exclusive messy kitchen keeps the main kitchen looking picture-perfect, with room for an extra sink tucked just out of sight. The walk-in power pantry sits close by for easy restocking, and a big box overflow room under the stairs means bulk trips to the store never have to become a storage problem or clutter up the rest of the house. Tucked behind the family room, a first-floor guest suite gives visiting family or friends a private, comfortable space of their own, away from the main flow of the home and quiet enough for a good night's sleep. Near the garage, the family entry keeps everyday life organized with a double drop zone for shoes, bags, and everything else that comes in and out the door on a normal week. Outside, the covered patio extends the living space into the outdoors, made for slow mornings and relaxed evenings, rain or shine, and the fenced yard adds even more room to spread out, whether that's morning coffee, an evening cookout, or just a little extra privacy. Head upstairs and the owner's suite is a true retreat, centered on a spa-like super shower designed for a little daily indulgence at the start or end of every day. The second floor also features a game room, perfect for movie nights or weekend hangouts, along with additional bedrooms and a hall bath for the rest of the household. In this Georgian elevation, the game room even opens onto the double-stacked front porch, giving the upstairs its own private outdoor moment. Beyond the front door, Ballard Woods places you close to the everyday charm of downtown Fuquay-Varina and downtown Lillington, so mornings stay simple and weekends stay open for whatever comes next. Come see this Apex home in person and picture your own life unfolding here, from busy weekday mornings to unhurried weekends at home. *Photos of staged home for representational purposes.*
