Property Description
Welcome home to Swift Ridge Garden House, a lovingly maintained one-owner home nestled on 1.29 unrestricted acres just outside Cary in unincorporated Raleigh. NO HOA, NO restrictions, just open space to breathe. From the moment you walk in, the charm is evident: built-in bookcases surround the brick fireplace, creating a warm, inviting living space that feels like home from day one. The bright, open kitchen, freshly updated in 2025 flows seamlessly out to the back patio, making it easy to cook, gather, and entertain. Step outside and discover a true backyard oasis, carefully curated over the years largely with the help of Campbell Road Nursery. Extensive, mature landscaping, a wildflower garden and a peony garden surround a brick patio with covered outdoor kitchen (tile counter, grill, storage), a hot tub, and a deck rebuilt in 2023. Truly the perfect setting for morning coffee or evening gatherings around the outdoor fire pit. Garden lovers will appreciate the greenhouse with rain barrel and electrical, while the fenced yard, locked iron gates with drive-through access, offer privacy and peace of mind. Additional highlights include a detached garage with its own kitchenette, sink and water heater, ideal for a workshop, hobby space, or extra storage. Plus a vinyl-sided storage building, a dog lot with kennel access, and a long list of major updates. Minutes from Crossroads, WakeMed Cary, RDU and downtown Raleigh, 5109 Swift Ridge Rd offers the rare combination of privacy, land, and convenience. A true one-of-a-kind property ready for its next chapter.
