Timeless ranch charm meets elevated modern design at 3009 Hickory Road. Situated on approximately 0.85 acres in established Oak Forest Estates, this beautifully updated three-bedroom, two-bath home pairs single-level living with thoughtfully selected luxury finishes. An open-concept layout connects the living, dining, and kitchen spaces, enhanced by wide-plank flooring, recessed lighting, and abundant natural light. A fireplace with a classic white mantel creates an inviting focal point, complemented by built-in cabinetry. The kitchen makes a striking impression with white cabinetry, a contrasting wood-tone island, waterfall-edge countertops, stainless steel appliances, pendant lighting, and a tile backsplash that adds depth and personality. Updated bath details include a fluted wood-tone vanity, contemporary fixtures, and an elegant rounded-corner mirror. Outside, mature trees, refreshed landscaping, and an expansive fenced backyard offer space to relax, entertain, and enjoy the outdoors. A distinctive blend of sophisticated interiors, enduring character, and a generous Raleigh setting near shopping and dining.
