The main level also features a private guest suite with a spa bath and dedicated laundry access, alongside bi-fold doors that open to a vaulted bluestone porch featuring motorized Phantom screens and a masonry fireplace overlooking a private, fully fenced yard.

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.
