Back on market - buyer financing fell through. The hardest part is done for you. In one of Raleigh's most coveted inside-the-beltline neighborhoods, 1825 White Oak Road presents something genuinely rare -- a blank canvas on a premier Five Points homesite, fully demoed and ready for your vision, with architectural plans available to get you started immediately. The demo work is complete. The bones are exposed. What remains is an extraordinary opportunity to build exactly the home you want in a neighborhood where that opportunity simply does not come available anymore. The raw material is there: 1920s brick construction, original hardwood floors, a fireplace, and a basement -- everything you need to create a home that looks like it's always belonged here. Per plans: 1,573 sq ft above grade, 3 beds, 2 baths, with 800 sq ft of unfinished basement below. New roof (2023) already done. Nestled on a quiet street in the heart of the Bloomsbury Historic District -- surrounded by beautifully maintained homes, thoughtful new construction, and the tree-lined streets that define Five Points living -- this homesite delivers the location that buyers spend years trying to find. Walk to Five Points dining and shopping. Minutes to Hayes Barton, North Hills, and downtown Raleigh. Whether you bring your own builder and plans or work from those already available, this is the rare chance to put your personal stamp on a home in a neighborhood where character, history, and community come standard. Priced for the vision, not the finished product -- in a zip code where finished homes routinely exceed $1M. Opportunities like this in Bloomsbury don't last!
Five Points East, located between Glenwood Avenue and Wake Forest Road, is a residential and walkable Raleigh neighborhood with early-20th-century bungalows and a leafy, porch-lit streetscape. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Five Points intersection at Whitaker Mill Road and Glenwood Avenue, where corner storefronts, patios, and small eateries set a steady street-level hum. Nearby, Rialto Theatre anchors the cultural calendar with live music and film. Craft pours and casual plates draw regulars to Lynwood Brewing Concern, while Nofo @ the Pig pairs a market feel with Southern-leaning dining. Sidewalks thread past pocket parks and a mix of renovated cottages and newer infill, keeping daily errands and evening plans close at hand.
