If ''perfect downtown living'' had an address, this would be it. Located just half a mile from the heart of Raleigh and Moore Square, this one-of-a-kind property offers the rare combination of walkable city living, a private backyard retreat, and a detached ADU with income-producing potential. Tucked behind the main home is a standout detached accessory dwelling unit featuring a private one-bedroom, one-bath apartment complete with full kitchen and laundry--ideal as an in-law suite, guest apartment, rental opportunity, multigenerational living space, or potential income-producing property. The lower level includes a partially finished flex space with a garage-style door and half bath, perfect for entertaining, a home gym, studio, workshop, or additional living space. Situated on one of Haywood's most sought-after blocks, the main home features a first-floor primary suite along with three additional bedrooms and a shared bath upstairs, offering a functional layout with plenty of room to spread out. Outside, the oversized backyard is a rare find for downtown living. Designed for entertaining, the space includes a custom stone paver patio, built-in fire pit, pergola, detached shed, and covered storage area. There's even an established urban garden, plus access to several nearby community gardens that add to the neighborhood's unique charm and sense of community. Enjoy being within walking distance to some of Raleigh's best restaurants, breweries, parks, and entertainment venues while still having the flexibility of a private apartment and additional living quarters rarely found this close to downtown. Properties with this combination of location, outdoor space, and income potential rarely come available in downtown Raleigh.
