2113 Henslowe Drive

Raleigh, NC 27603

Have you ever imagined having a mini homestead, but still being minutes to downtown Raleigh? This is a rare combination of thoughtful cultivation and city convenience, and once you walk the half acre property you will understand why it does not come along often. The outside spaces are what really set this one apart. A custom built chicken coop and run gives you the space to raise your own flock, while established perennial fruit (figs, blueberries, blackberries, paw paw, and kiwi) and garden beds are already in place and ready to produce. The lot backs up to the Carolina Pines neighborhood pond, so your backyard view is water and trees instead of a fence line. Whether you are looking to start a homestead or just want more breathing room, this lot delivers both privacy and purpose. Inside, the home has been well cared for and thoughtfully upgraded. A metal roof, whole-house dehumidifier, encapsulated crawlspace, and energy efficient, low maintenance appliances mean less to worry about and lower costs to keep it running. A wood burning insert adds warmth and character on cooler nights, and custom cabinetry, tile, and details bring a level of craftsmanship you notice right away. With 3 bedrooms and 1 bath, the layout is simple and comfortable. The attached breezeway and garage provide loads of storage, workshop space, covered parking, and electric vehicle charging possibilities. Location is only minutes from the Farmers Market, NC State, Dorthea Dix, and downtown Raleigh. You are walkable to the Carolina Pines Community Center, and the city is currently adding a multiuse path along Carolina Pines Ave, making biking and getting around easier. If you have been searching for a place where you can work with your hands, grow your own food, and still be minutes from the city, this one is worth a look.
