What's around 2638 Lakeview Drive

About this property

A rare opportunity to own a beautifully updated residence in one of Raleigh's most sought-after neighborhoods. Nestled in coveted Country Club Hills on a private, flat lot spanning approximately half an acre, 2638 Lakeview Drive offers timeless architecture enhanced by over $400,000 in thoughtful renovations. The current owners have lived in and cared for this home for 18 years, consistently investing in meaningful improvements while maintaining its original character. The result is a property that has been meticulously maintained and intentionally upgraded over time. As you arrive, you're welcomed by an expansive front porch and circular driveway. When you enter the home you'll immediately notice the 9-foot ceilings, detailed crown molding, hardwood floors throughout, and expansive windows that bring in ample natural light. This is one of two main living areas in the home, both of which feature a fireplace for architectural presence and everyday comfort. The fully renovated kitchen is the heart of the home, anchored by a massive island with seating for eight and designer selections throughout. Featuring Miele appliances, ceiling-height cabinetry, abundant storage, and a dedicated beverage fridge, the space flows seamlessly into a dining area that can comfortably seat and host large gatherings. Adjoined is your second living room where you'll find a beautiful stone fireplace with built-ins for additional storage, and oversized windows overlooking the private backyard. The main level also offers a private enclosed office, perfect for working from home, along with a luxurious first-floor primary suite complete with dual custom closets and built-ins. The renovated primary bath includes double vanities, a dedicated hair and makeup vanity, and a separate powder room for added privacy. Upstairs, hardwood floors continue throughout, extending into three generously sized secondary bedrooms, each offering ample space for additional seating or work areas. A large loft provides flexible living options - ideal for a media room, lounge, playroom, or additional gathering space. An upstairs laundry area adds everyday convenience and functionality. The backyard sets this property apart. An extensive backyard renovation transformed this space into a flat lot with mature trees and landscaping to ensure privacy. The outdoor space delivers both immediate enjoyment and long-term potential with the ability to add a pool. The oversized patio is designed for seamless entertaining, with room for dining, grilling, lounge seating, an existing stone firepit, and an outdoor media setup. 2638 Lakeview is in a prime location - several doors down from Carolina Country Club, and less than a mile from St. David's and Root Elementary. This residence is defined by long-term ownership, meaningful investment, and a setting that is increasingly difficult to replicate in Country Club Hills.
