About This Home

It's rare to find 5 bedrooms, meaningful square footage, and a full renovation in University Park under $1.1M -- this is one of those opportunities. This 5-bedroom, 3-bath home offers over 2,500 square feet of living space, anchored by a full renovation and addition completed in 2017 that brought the layout and finishes into alignment with what buyers are actually looking for today. The open floorplan leads into a modern kitchen with quartz countertops, tile backsplash, and clean sightlines into the main living areas -- a setup that works equally well for a quiet weeknight and a full house. What sets this home apart is the indoor-outdoor sequence upstairs: a versatile loft opens directly onto a second-story deck, giving the home a layer of livable space that rarely shows up at this price point. Back on the main level, a large screened-in porch extends the usable square footage further, and the backyard still has room -- something that's become genuinely scarce in this part of Raleigh. The primary suite is private and well-proportioned with an en suite bath. The remaining four bedrooms offer real flexibility -- guests, office, long-term use. University Park puts you minutes from Village District, NC State and Hillsborough Street, the Rose Garden, Dorothea Dix, and Downtown. It's one of the few Raleigh neighborhoods where walkability, green space, and character all show up in the same zip code. For buyers trying to get into this neighborhood without giving up space or condition, the math here is hard to argue with.
