About This Home

As of August 2025

Nestled just minutes from Downtown Raleigh, North Hills, and Five Points, this beautifully maintained Cape Cod-style home offers the perfect blend of charm, convenience, and comfort. Featuring 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, including a main-level primary suite, this home is designed for easy living. The updated kitchen boasts quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and modern cabinetry, while rich hardwood floors flow through the main level. The spacious family room is warm and inviting with a gas fireplace and built-in shelving. Upstairs, 2 bedrooms and a full bath!

Step outside and enjoy the curb appeal from the front porch with updated decking and metal railings or relax in the screened porch overlooking the landscaped backyard. A large hardscaped patio with a firepit is ideal for entertaining, and the rear workshop with power, plus a backup generator, adds both convenience and utility. With a fenced yard, a newer roof and vinyl siding (circa 2013), and thoughtful updates throughout, this owner-occupied home has been lovingly cared for. Tucked away in a peaceful spot but close to everything Raleigh has to offer—this is one you won't want to miss!
