Mix up a cocktail while you're at it (plenty of ice in the ice maker), or brew a pot of tea for you and your guests. With seating at the island for four, and a fully stocked kitchen with all the pots and pants, utensils, bakeware, etc., you'll be able to prepare all the meals you like. If that's not your speed, order a meal in, or walk to downtown Raleigh. Amazing restaurants are only 10-15 minutes away by foot, or 5 minutes by Uber or Lyft.

WALKABILITY
This is a superbly comfortable home. It's so well appointed and so well stocked - and so close to everything downtown Raleigh has to offer. The home is in a quiet residential neighborhood while being a short walk from fine dining, great restaurants, loads of entertainment, and downtown Raleigh's city lights. It's an oasis in the city!

You'll have the entire home to yourself! Dedicated parking for 2 cars in driveway with additional street parking available. Private fenced-in backyard with patio.

Adjacent to Boylan Heights, this community's tall, narrow homes combine space and views with the convenience of newer construction. Often compared to San Francisco's "Painted Ladies," this charming neighborhood features homes with rooftop decks that offer stunning skyline and Dix park views.

Nearby historic Boylan Heights is consistently listed as one of the most attractive areas near downtown Raleigh. Great walking!
