About This Home

Modern farmhouse perfection nestled at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Portofino, Clayton's premier gated equestrian community. Set on a 3⁄4-acre lot backing to a peaceful creek, this home offers both privacy and direct access to miles of scenic, HOA-maintained trails. Freshly painted inside and out in a warm, timeless palette, the home exudes modern charm with plantation shutters, extended tray ceiling, wainscoting, crown molding, wide-plank flooring, and designer black hardware throughout its 2,770 square feet. Every space reflects thoughtful craftsmanship and high-end design. The main level features a luxurious primary suite with a spa-like bath and custom-shelved walk-in closet, plus two additional bedrooms, two full baths, and a flex/bonus room perfect for an office or playroom. At the heart of the home, the gourmet kitchen impresses with quartz countertops, a large island, custom hood, and premium stainless appliances—ideal for entertaining or everyday living. Upstairs, a private guest suite with full bath and a spacious bonus room offer comfort and flexibility. Step outside to a screened porch overlooking the wooded backyard, where you can enjoy year-round tranquility. Additional highlights include a three-car garage, Carrara marble finishes, tankless water heater, smart home technology, black seamless gutters with guards, and custom wood shelving throughout closets and pantry. Portofino offers two clubhouses, two resort-style pools, an event pavilion, beach volleyball, and miles of equestrian trails. Move-in ready and meticulously maintained, 81 Syracuse embodies the best of luxury and lifestyle in today's modern farmhouse design.

In 2010 my husband and I decided to take a leap of faith and we relocated our family to North Carolina from Providence RI.

Before moving here, my husband and I lived in 8 cities in 6 differerent states across the Northeast and Midwest, so I am no stranger to moving and all it entails, but I can honestly say, North Carolina continues to be my favorite
