There's a particular satisfaction in being the first to live somewhere. At Cottages at Powell Park, now under construction, thatopportunity is yours, in one of West Raleigh's most coveted pockets. The layout reads like it was designed by someone whoactually lives in a house: three bedrooms, two and a half baths, and a primary suite on the main level, because climbing stairs atthe end of a long day should be optional. Light moves freely through the open living spaces, which do double duty as everydayrooms and entertaining ones without missing a beat. The kitchen is the kind of room people end up gathering in whether you plan itor not. Stone counters, an oversized island, stainless appliances, and enough workspace to make hosting feel effortless ratherthan choreographed. Upstairs, two more bedrooms share space with a loft that refuses to be just one thing: office some days, gymon others, screening room on a Friday night. Outside, a private covered porch is perfect for easy living. And a two car garage is theicing on the cake. The location does a lot of the talking: Downtown Raleigh, RTP, RDU, I-440, and I-40 are all close at hand, withFenton, North Hills, Umstead State Park, and West Raleigh's best shopping and dining minutes away. Only 15 homes make upthis community. New construction, low-maintenance living, and a location that's hard to overstate. Few remain. Worth a call beforethey don't.
