About This Home

Welcome to 4940 Enlightenment Rd, a stunning 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom home built in 2021, offering approximately 2,969 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space on a premium 8,276 square foot lot in vibrant Northeast Raleigh. Designed for modern living, this home features an open-concept chef's kitchen, a spacious great room with a cozy fireplace, elegant tray ceilings, a mud-room entry, a versatile bonus room, and a screened porch overlooking a private backyard.

Step inside to discover a spacious, sunlit open floor plan that's ideal for entertaining and everyday living. The open kitchen is equipped with upgraded appliances and an oversized island, perfect for casual meals and gatherings. The main-level primary suite offers convenience and privacy, while four additional bedrooms provide flexibility for family, guests, or a home office. A versatile bonus or media room can serve as a playroom, office, or entertainment space, and the screened porch and backyard invite you to enjoy outdoor living at its finest.

Residents of this community enjoy access to exceptional amenities, including a clubhouse for social gatherings, a sparkling swimming pool, beautifully maintained community gardens, a fitness center to support an active lifestyle, a jogging path for outdoor recreation, and landscaped parks for family fun and relaxation. The HOA ensures the grounds are meticulously maintained, adding to the appeal of this welcoming neighborhood.

Located just under a mile from Triangle Town Center Mall—off Highway 1/Capital Blvd and I-540—this home places you at the heart of one of the region's premier retail and dining destinations. The two-level mall spans over 1.27 million square feet and features renowned retailers such as Saks Fifth Avenue, Belk, Dillard's, Macy's, Barnes & Noble, American Eagle, Vans, Journeys, and more than 165 specialty shops.

Within a three-mile radius, residents enjoy seamless access to a diverse array of dining options and convenience stores. Triangle Town Center Dining includes Lechon Latin BBQ & Bar, A Toda Madre, Blaze Burgers, Chili's Grill & Bar, Macaroni Grill, Chick-fil-A, Cinnabon, Auntie Anne's, and Charley's Philly Steaks. Nearby favorites include Jalwa Indian Bistro, First Watch, and Thai Twist. In the broader local scene, Ajja—a contemporary Mediterranean and Middle Eastern hotspot recently featured in Esquire's ''Best New Restaurants''—and Two Roosters Ice Cream, voted WRAL's ''Best Local Ice Cream'' multiple times, are just a short drive away. Additional dining and shopping options include Raleigh's premier downtown spots like Poole's Diner, Stanbury, The Pit, Morgan Street Food Hall, and the Raleigh Beer Trail, as well as new Triangle favorites such as Brodeto, Daijobu, and Flour & Barrel Kitchen + Bar, all located within a few miles.

Nature lovers will appreciate the nearby scenic green spaces of Durant Nature Park and Marsh Creek Park, both within 4-5 miles. For healthcare needs, Duke Health Raleigh Hospital is about 6.2 miles away, and WakeMed Raleigh Campus is approximately 8.2 miles away.

Commuting is a breeze with easy access to I-540 and Highway 1, providing fast connections to Research Triangle Park, RDU Airport, Downtown Raleigh, RTP, and the I-440 beltline. Top-rated schools are also within easy reach, making this home an ideal choice for families seeking convenience, comfort, and a vibrant community.
