2811 Van Dyke Avenue
Raleigh, NC 27607Nestled in the heart of University Park, this home offers the best of Raleigh living—just a short walk to Hillsborough Street and the Village District for coffee, shopping, and top dining, and bikeable to the NC Museum of Art and greenway trails. Enjoy your mornings with coffee on the expansive front porch, greeting neighbors as the neighborhood comes to life. The front garden is a true urban oasis, featuring edible landscaping with fig, pomegranate, persimmon, apple, pear, and peach trees, along with blueberry and strawberry bushes, squash, and more. A rain garden, designed in partnership with the city, enhances both beauty and sustainability by assisting with drainage and irrigating the yard. Inside, the home is just as special. Thoughtfully updated with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, it includes a renovated kitchen with new cabinetry, an induction range and hood, and instant hot water—perfect for the home cook. The primary bath was fully renovated in 2023, offering a spa-like experience with a zero-entry shower and handmade tile. A cozy family room with a fireplace, built-in bookshelves, and a dedicated work station provides a perfect space to unwind or stay productive. The separate dining room offers a classic gathering spot, while the expansive, light-filled living room, just off the kitchen, is ideal for entertaining or everyday living. A light-filled laundry room and mudroom, accessible from the rear deck, add charm and functionality. The attached garage doubles as a workshop, offering space for hobbies, tools, or extra storage. Smart features, including thermostats, locks, smoke alarms, an EV charging station, and solar panels that reduce utility bills, combine with the home's historic charm to create a rare blend of modern sustainability and timeless appeal. This home is more than just a place to live—it's a lifestyle rooted in community, creativity, and a deep connection to nature.
