A full acre in Clayton, a first floor primary suite, and a kitchen that looks out over the entire backyard. 672 Southwick Ave sits in Southwick Farms just off Buffaloe Road, county taxes only, with a $100 a year HOA and an easy drive to Hwy 42, Hwy 70, downtown Clayton and the Triangle. The kitchen is where this one starts. Quartz counters, crisp white cabinetry, room for a real table, and big windows over the backyard so you're never cooking with your back to the day. It opens to the living room and fireplace, and the hardwood floors on the main level are the first thing people comment on. The primary bedroom is on the first floor and laundry is on the main level too, so you can live on one level if you want to. Upstairs you'll find two more bedrooms and a full bath, plus closets and storage in places most homes this size don't have. Then there's the land. A full acre this close to town is getting hard to find, and it gives you room for a garden, a fire pit, a shop, or the camper you've been paying to store somewhere else. The house has been freshly landscaped, professionally cleaned and staged, so what you see is what you get. Come walk it before it's gone.
