Over an acre. No HOA. No city taxes. In Fuquay-Varina. That combination is almost impossible to find, and 62 Cardona Ct in Atkins Village delivers all three. At just over 2,900 square feet on a 1.01-acre homesite, this 4-bedroom home has the space, the lot, and the freedom that today's buyers are searching for. The three-car garage alone sets this home apart. Pull in, and you have room for vehicles, equipment, a workshop, or whatever your life requires. The lot gives you the outdoor space to match -- over an acre in an established neighborhood is a rare find at any price point. A covered front porch welcomes you in before you even open the door. Inside, the first floor is open, well-appointed, and built for the way families actually live. A formal dining room sets the stage for entertaining. The large family room with a gas log fireplace is the kind of space that becomes the heart of the home. The gourmet kitchen features stainless appliances, granite countertops, a backsplash, and a large corner pantry -- and flows into one of the best mudrooms you will find at this price point. We are talking serious square footage with room for coats, backpacks, shoes, and all the gear that comes with real life. A dedicated office and screened porch with grilling deck round out the main level. Upstairs, four large bedrooms and a bonus room give the second floor real flexibility. The primary suite is generously sized and the bonus room works equally well as a playroom, media room, or second office. A walk-up unfinished third floor adds storage today and serious expansion potential down the road. No HOA. No city tax rate. Over an acre in Fuquay-Varina. This is the one.
