208 Essex Lane SClayton, NC 27520

Cradled beneath a lush canopy of mature trees and set on a peaceful 1.12-acre lot, this home offers a lifestyle wrapped in charm and serenity. From the moment you arrive, the story begins—golden porch lights welcome you home, a gravel drive winds through your private retreat, and nature embraces every inch of this tranquil property. Inside, the open layout breathes with space and light. Soaring ceilings and rich bamboo floors set the tone for easy, elevated living. The living room encourages you to relax and stay awhile, while a custom-built white oak dining nook blends craftsmanship and comfort. The kitchen dazzles with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a cheerful bay window that fills mornings with sunshine. All three bedrooms are restful sanctuaries. Storage is no afterthought, thanks to spacious closets. The home's value shines even brighter with practical upgrades: a new roof (2020), HVAC system and Water Heater (2021), French Drains (2021/2024), fresh interior paint, cleaned ductwork, and a well-maintained septic system for your peace of mind. Step out back to an entertainer's dream: a newly built deck and a pergola that sets the perfect scene for intimate gatherings or peaceful moments under the stars. But the true showstopper? A 20x30 fully powered workshop—ideal for makers, creatives, and anyone needing a dedicated space to build or unwind. And the detached garage? It's been partially converted with soundproofing, insulation, windows, and new doors—perfect for musicians, podcasters, or creatives who want a dedicated space that can easily be customized or finished later. Located just minutes from the heart of Downtown Clayton, you're never far from award-winning restaurants, cozy coffee shops, scenic greenways, and vibrant community events.
