About This Home

As of August 2026

MAJOR PRICE REDUCTION: Trying to check all the boxes? 839 Ember Dr. might just be what you've been waiting for. Located in a notoriously convenient area near Brier Creek, you're perfectly positioned for easy errands and a quick commute, no matter whether it's to Durham or Raleigh. Step inside and you'll find a home that's been lovingly maintained and freshly painted. The open floor plan is bright, airy, and absolutely drenched in natural light . The large kitchen offers counter space galore and flows into the cozy living room with a gas fireplace to bring the ambiance. A covered patio with sunscreens extends your living space into the outdoors. The fenced yard is perfect for pups, playtime, or finally attempting that garden you've been dreaming about. Upstairs, a massive loft offers flex space for movie marathons or an epic play zone. Four generously sized bedrooms mean everyone gets their space. No more WFH at the dining room table...you can have two offices AND a guest room. The primary suite seals the deal with a massive walk-in closet and spa-like bathroom. And let's talk neighborhood: quiet and friendly, where neighbors wave hello and puppies meet and greet on their evening walks. The community pool, clubhouse, and playground are just around the corner. Convenience, amenities, and all the space you need...don't let this box-checker pass you by!
