This mid-century charmer features an oversized primary bedroom with 2 closets and a 5 piece ensuite bath. Hardwood floors extend throughout the entire home with the exception of 2 tiled bathrooms. Spacious living room/dining combo, additional den with freestanding vintage fireplace, large kitchen with 3 walls of cabinets, 36" gas range and granite countertops. Step outside and you will immediately forget you are only 1 mile from Downtown Raleigh as you are surrounded by tall palms, banana trees and lush plantings with plenty of room to enjoy the mature trees and private fenced yard from the expansive covered deck. This .36 acre lot also features a huge detached 2-car garage with a heated and cooled 240 SF studio, flex room or perhaps a future ADU. Walk 2 blocks to Gateway Plaza for shopping, dining, yoga, a hair salon (and Woofgang for the fur babies) and more.
