It's rare to find 5 bedrooms, a full renovation, and over 2,500 square feet in University Park under $1.1M — this home delivers all three.

Updated in 2017 with a layout and finishes that still hold up today, the home is move-in ready without the compromises that typically come at this price point. The open floorplan flows into a modern kitchen with quartz countertops and tile backsplash, designed for everyday living and easy entertaining.

What separates this home from others in the neighborhood:

• Loft + second-story deck — a flexible upstairs space that opens directly to outdoor living, rarely available at this price

• Large screened-in back porch — covered outdoor living that extends the usable footprint year-round

• Five true bedrooms — space for guests, a dedicated office, or long-term flexibility

• Backyard with room — increasingly scarce in this part of Raleigh

• Location — minutes from Village District, Dorothea Dix, NC State, and Downtown

If you've been looking for a way into University Park without giving up space or condition, this is worth your time.
