What do you get when you combine classic charm with modern convenience? This picturesque townhome less than 10 minutes from downtown Raleigh. The difference with this unit is immediately clear from the front: the full-width porch and private upstairs balcony evoke a timeless curb appeal, which is only shared by about 1 of every 3 townhomes in this section of the neighborhood. And as you drive up from the private back alley, your own garage and parking pad provide two spots, in addition to the plentiful guest parking nearby. Once inside, the vast, open downstairs is anchored by built-ins in the living room. With a window into the large kitchen, which is full of storage, the floor plan flows between the dining area and breakfast nook. Out back, the covered porch provides a secluded nook, for more privacy and relaxation. Upstairs, the large, bright primary bedroom opens onto the upstairs balcony, where you can enjoy evening sunsets. A large walk-in closet complements the spacious primary bathroom, with a separate soaking tub and walk-in shower. Two additional bedrooms and laundry room complete the upstairs. Living in Renaissance Park, you're never short on amenities (pool, tennis, clubhouse, gym, walking/running, playground, and more), and this unit has some of the most convenient access to the clubhouse/pool via the back alley.
