2900 Sylvania Drive

Raleigh, NC 27607

Welcome to 2900 Sylvania Drive — a beautifully maintained and thoughtfully updated mid-century ranch nestled on a lush, landscaped corner lot in the heart of Raleigh's 27607 zip code. This property offers a rare combination of privacy, natural beauty, character, and livability that's hard to find within such close proximity to downtown, RTP, RDU, and neighborhood amenities. The home's front elevation is picture-perfect, framed by mature trees, custom-designed garden beds, curated perennial plantings, and impeccable curb appeal. A wooded backyard creates a private tree canopy at the rear of the property, while the Greenway lies just beyond, offering both peace and accessibility. Inside, the home features a blend of well-preserved original charm and tasteful updates. The kitchen is a standout with granite countertops in a unique gray-green tone, custom-installed for both aesthetic and durability. Original solid wood cabinetry remains in excellent condition — offering mid-century authenticity without compromise. A hot water dispenser was added at the sink, and the continuous engineered laminate flooring ensures smooth transitions between living spaces. The main living and dining area is flexible in layout and designed for entertaining or everyday living, anchored by a cozy gas log fireplace in the vaulted ceiling living room. The home includes three bedrooms, with two on the main floor easily functioning as a nursery, office, guest space, or flex room. The primary suite offers high reaching ceilings with warm natural light, generous wall space and a sizable closet — features uncommon in homes of this era. Both full bathrooms are neutral and well-kept, with enough space for future customization or spa-like upgrades if desired. Storage abounds, with large closets, built-in shelving, and a first-floor laundry room with, washer/dryer, and bonus cabinetry for additional utility. Upstairs, the unfinished attic space is floored and offers the potential to add livable square footage — whether as a playroom, office, guest retreat, or conditioned storage. It has been used for holiday storage but could easily be converted into a finished room, giving the buyer valuable expansion potential. Step outside to enjoy a front screened-in porch, a private garden patio, and multiple seating areas ideal for gatherings or peaceful morning coffee. The yard is fenced, with front and rear access gates and thoughtful design touches throughout. A standing crawlspace, storage area beneath the home provide space for tools, bikes, seasonal items, or gardening supplies. Updates include a nine-year-old roof, a three-year-old HVAC system. A transferable termite bond is in place through Terminix. This home lives well as-is and is ideal for a buyer who appreciates style, function, and the ability to personalize over time. Whether you're drawn to the landscaping, the layout, the attic potential, or simply the feel of a home that's been well-loved and meticulously maintained, 2900 Sylvania Drive offers a rare opportunity to own a character-rich property in one of Raleigh's most convenient and coveted neighborhoods. Within walking distance to grocery stores, restaurants, and with quick access to commuter routes, this is city living that still feels tucked away. Professional photos and measurements to be uploaded this week. No HOA.
