What's special
Move-in ready, this 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home with a finished basement offers flexible living spaces, no HOA, and an unbeatable Midtown Raleigh location just minutes from the I-440 Beltline, Downtown Raleigh, North Hills, and Raleigh Iron Works. Situated on a large corner lot of nearly a quarter acre, this beautifully updated home combines privacy, convenience, and functionality. The thoughtfully updated interior features fresh neutral paint throughout, new carpeting, updated lighting and electrical fixtures, new interior and screen doors, and a refreshed kitchen with white cabinetry, granite countertops, a stylish glass tile backsplash, and a new stainless steel dishwasher. Hardwood flooring carries through the primary bedroom, which includes a private ensuite half bath and a spacious linen closet with the potential to convert into a walk-in shower. Outdoor living is a standout feature of this home, offering an elevated screened porch and adjacent side deck with low-maintenance TREX® composite decking—ideal for grilling, gardening, morning coffee, evening sunsets, or weekend entertaining. The fenced backyard, expansive patio, and mature setting create a private outdoor retreat designed for year-round enjoyment. Additional major updates include a brand-new GAF architectural algae-resistant shingle roof (2026) with a transferable lifetime warranty, replaced ductwork, an updated HVAC system, and a hard-wired security system for added peace of mind. The finished lower level provides incredible flexibility and lives like a potential fourth bedroom, guest suite, or multigenerational living space with its own private side entrance. This level features a full bathroom with a jetted tub and separate tiled walk-in shower, cabinet plumbing for a future wet bar, a walk-in laundry room, a storage closet, and a structured wiring media panel. A marble-surround gas log fireplace creates a warm and inviting atmosphere, making the space ideal for a media room, recreation area, home office, or extended guest quarters. Two Samsung TVs convey with the home. With flexible living options, extensive updates, exceptional outdoor entertaining spaces, and one of Raleigh's most convenient locations, this home offers a rare opportunity to enjoy comfort, versatility, and the freedom of no HOA.
