About this home

Welcome to 1903 Alexander Road, where the heartbeat of Raleigh is right outside your front door. Settle onto the welcoming front porch and take in the sights and sounds of Five Points, with Hayes Barton and Bloomsbury at your fingertips. Stroll to favorite restaurants, coffee shops, and the post office, and enjoy something truly old-Raleigh: mail delivered to your front door by the neighborhood's favorite mail carrier. This is a rare find: a near half-acre homesite in one of the city's most sought-after locations. There's room to grow, whether that means expanding the home or adding an ADU, and the garage addition plans are available. Fully renovated in 2022-2023, the home has been thoughtfully updated from top to bottom. Improvements include a new roof, new HVAC system, new tankless water heater with circulator pump, new flooring, all-new bathrooms, a new kitchen, new lighting and plumbing fixtures, fresh interior and exterior paint, select new windows, and plantation shutters. The refreshed gourmet kitchen is made for gathering, with a commercial-style range, stainless appliances, and a custom mahogany island at its center. The main-level primary suite is a true retreat, with a glamorous bath featuring an air-jetted tub, a huge walk-in shower, heated tile floors, and a grand primary closet. Upstairs, new hardwoods (2023) lead to additional bedrooms with updated baths and a light-filled home office. You'll also find a flexible space that works as a second primary suite or an oversized bonus and recreation room with a full bath. Then step outside and stay awhile. The screened porch with phantom screens opens to an outdoor kitchen with a grill, Blackstone griddle, and side burners. Beyond it is the showpiece: a custom heated in-ground pool (2024) framed by beautiful travertine. Artificial turf and a new privacy fence (2024) finish the private rear yard for easy, low-maintenance resort living. Stunning inside, extraordinary outside, and perfectly placed, this is the best of Raleigh living. It doesn't get better than this. Opportunities like this are rare, so don't miss your chance to call it home.

About Five Points

East

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.
