From the moment you step inside, you'll feel it: wide-plank oak floors underfoot, sunlight streaming through large windows, and a floor plan that's as functional as it is beautiful. The open main level flows effortlessly, making entertaining a breeze and everyday life feel just a little more luxurious. The kitchen is a chef's dream, outfitted with quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, designer fixtures, and sleek appliances that make even reheating leftovers look good.
Upstairs, the primary suite offers the kind of peace and polish that's hard to find—complete with a spa-like bath, walk-in closet, and carefully curated details that strike the perfect balance between modern and cozy. Every inch of this home has been designed with care, creating a space that feels both effortlessly stylish and unmistakably yours.
And just when you think it couldn't get better—surprise—it's all planted right in the middle of one of Raleigh's most exciting, fastest-growing neighborhoods.
Let's talk location. Directly across the street? Trophy Brewing—an iconic Raleigh spot where the beer is cold, the vibes are laid-back, and the patio is the perfect place to toast to your new address. And just a few blocks away, the highly anticipated Benchwarmers Bagels is gearing up to open its doors to a second store. That's wood-fired bagels, housemade schmear, and maybe even your new Sunday morning ritual, all within walking distance.
Just down the road, you'll find the State Farmers Market, where fresh produce, handmade goods, and biscuits as big as your face await. It's a Raleigh institution and your new go-to for Saturday mornings that start slow and taste amazing.
And then there's Dix Park—Raleigh's crown jewel and a true urban oasis. Just around the corner, the brand-new Gipson Play Plaza is turning heads and turning weekends into adventures. Think whimsical water features, climbing structures, hammocks, swings, gardens, and even a restored vintage carousel. It's a place to explore, unwind, and connect—whether you've got kids in tow or you're just a kid at heart.
This side of Raleigh is buzzing with new energy. It's a place where the city's past and future are blending beautifully—where historic roots and modern growth come together in a way that feels exciting and undeniably alive. New businesses are opening. The community is growing. And this home puts you right in the middle of it all.
So if you're looking for a home that checks all the boxes—design, quality, location, and a dash of something special—this is the one. It's brand new, move-in ready, and waiting for someone to make it theirs. Don't just live in Raleigh. Live where Raleigh is headed.
