About this home
Just west of downtown, on a quiet stretch of N Mayview Road where the front door opens directly onto green space, Arcadia Construction has built a home with a view. Five bedrooms, a two-car garage, and a floor plan that moves easily from everyday routine to a house full of guests. The kitchen is the center of it all: a generous island, custom cabinetry, and a scullery tucked behind it so the working side of dinner stays out of sight. The main living space opens around a gas fireplace and continues out to a covered porch, the kind of room you find yourself using in every season. Upstairs, the primary suite sits under vaulted ceilings, with light and volume that make it feel like its own retreat. The remaining bedrooms are well-proportioned and flexible, ready for family, guests, or a dedicated office. The lower level adds a bonus room that can be whatever the next chapter calls for: media room, gym, playroom, or a private suite for extended family. An elevator shaft is already framed in, so the home can adapt over time without a renovation. Outside, the park is right there. Morning walks, evening light, and a green view from the porch without leaving the neighborhood. You also have the Raleigh Rose Garden tucked away in the neighborhood. The location is one of the most connected inside the Beltline. The Village District's restaurants and shops are minutes away, North Hills and Downtown Raleigh are just a short drive, and 440 puts RTP and RDU within easy reach. It's the rare address that's close to everything and still feels settled and calm.
University Park, located between Hillsborough Street and Wade Avenue, is a historic and walkable Raleigh neighborhood with tree-lined streets and early-20th-century bungalows. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Hillsborough Street corridor near the NC State Bell Tower, where coffee counters, indie eateries, and campus-football energy share the sidewalk. Iconic pillars include the NC State Memorial Belltower, the Gregg Museum of Art & Design, and the historic Rialto Theatre. Brick sidewalks and deep front porches set an unhurried streetscape. Pocket parks and the nearby greenway network shape daily routines. The setting reads as campus-adjacent yet residential, with a polished, lived-in feel.
