Experience the best of North Hills living in this beautifully renovated 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath home, where thoughtful design, quality craftsmanship, and an exceptional location come together. With an extensive renovation completed in 2020, this home has been meticulously maintained and continually improved by its current owners. Gleaming hardwood floors, all-new windows (2026), recessed lighting, updated bathrooms, and a fabulous, versatile floor plan create an inviting home perfectly suited to today's lifestyle. The expanded kitchen is a standout, featuring quartz countertops, a generous center island with a miter-cut quartz top, professional-grade BlueStar range and hood, and a spacious walk-in pantry. Additional improvements include updated plumbing throughout, a tankless water heater, enhanced attic insulation, and extensive drainage improvements. Situated on a generous .39-acre homesite, the outdoor living is equally impressive! A beautifully landscaped, fully fenced backyard offers exceptional privacy and an expansive blue stone patio with a built-in fire pit and seating wall—ideal for entertaining or relaxing under the stars. A detached, conditioned office/studio with dedicated Wi-Fi provides a wonderful work-from-home retreat, while additional storage and a separate tool room/potting shed add everyday convenience. With five bedrooms, a wood-burning fireplace, and a location in the heart of North Hills, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy the space, character, and convenience of one of Raleigh's most desirable neighborhoods—without the $3M-$5M price tag of nearby luxury new construction.
