HUGE PRICE IMPROVEMENT - just in time for spring! Prime downtown Raleigh location zoned for Hunter, Ligon, and Enloe schools, plus a detached 500 sq ft ADU offering exceptional flexibility and investment upside. With nearly $80K in additional upgrades, this 2,136 sq ft custom Steve Sypher-designed home delivers thoughtful architecture, premium finishes, and meaningful hidden value, with the ADU square footage not reflected in the main total. The main home features site-finished hardwoods, a striking wood accent wall, custom closets, pullout cabinetry, Lutron motorized shades, and a chef's kitchen anchored by a Wolf induction range. Fully paid 2022 solar, two Tesla Powerwalls for off-grid capability, an EV charger, and high-quality construction elevate both performance and efficiency. The independent ADU is turnkey with its own kitchen, utility room, bedroom, and luxury LVP flooring--ideal for rental income, Airbnb, home office, guest suite, or multigenerational living. Low maintenance yard could be fenced and offers a natural garden canvas. Just five blocks to downtown Raleigh, passing Transfer Street Food Hall and Benchwarmers Bagels, with easy access to shops, dining, venues, and winter skyline views. A rare opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind property combining location, top schools, design pedigree, and built-in flexibility. Visit redfin.com for cinematic video and additional details.
