Overview

Owned by the same family since 1960, this sprawling brick ranch is a true time capsule waiting for its next chapter. Sited on a generous 0.64-acre lot in a prime Raleigh location near NC State, Centennial Campus, Lake Johnson, and I-440, this five-bedroom, three-bath home offers incredible space and flexibility. Multiple living areas include an exceptionally large family room, a dining room, a cozy den, and a sweet vintage kitchen. Downstairs, the walk-out basement includes two additional bedrooms, a full bath, a laundry area, a workshop, and a massive bonus area that could be a rec room, studio, or multigenerational living space. A breezeway connects the main home to a two-car garage. Solid construction, a brand-new roof (2025), and timeless appeal make this a smart investment for renovators, builders, or buyers with imagination. The lot may offer additional potential. Buyers to confirm with the City of Raleigh. Homes with this kind of space and character don't come around often.
