2635 Davis Street, Raleigh, NC 27608

Sensational city/executive home on the edge of Budleigh and Five Points in the coveted base assignment area for Lacy / Oberlin / Broughton schools. Built in 2011, this home is smart, efficient, sleek and fun to live in. Private decks, porches and balconies on both the main and second floors make al fresco dining and outdoor morning coffee a regular part of the routine. The sensational kitchen has new stainless steel GE Cafe smart appliances. A fully-fenced play area behind the house means the dog is happy while you and the neighborhood kids shoot hoops or play hopscotch. The unfinished third floor represents incredible potential for those who desire more finished space, or simply a massive amount of fantastic storage for those of us with a few extra belongings. The lower level has a rec room / bonus room PLUS a fifth bedroom or office or exercise room or in-law suite with direct access to driveway. Really, really good wine storage space, whole-house generator, and full-yard invisible fence (in addition to the backyard traditional fence). This is the kind of home and neighborhood where new friends are made on the first day. At the top of the street you'll likely become regulars at Idle Hour Coffee, or Mandolin and Red Dragon. Give it about two years, and Budleigh East will be nearly built-out complete with new retail and restaurants facing Fairview and probably Oberlin too. Stroll to Five Points or bicycle to the Village District. All in a price point that is hard to find in prime-time inside-the-beltline. Bonus: no HOA.
