Welcome to 5228 Alva Drive, where custom details, generous living spaces and a private 1.17-acre setting come together just minutes from everything Raleigh has to offer. Located in the intimate Mattie Woods community, this beautifully designed home offers more than 3,800 square feet of finished living space with a thoughtful floor plan equally suited for everyday living and entertaining. The main level is anchored by a spacious primary suite, while hardwood floors, faux beams, abundant natural light and high end appliances give the home a warm, polished feel throughout. The kitchen flows effortlessly into the breakfast and family areas, creating an inviting heart of the home, while a separate dining space provides plenty of room for gatherings. Upstairs, additional bedrooms and flexible living spaces offer options for guests, home offices, recreation, hobbies and more. Outside, the covered porch overlooks a wonderfully spacious homesite with room to breathe, relax and enjoy the privacy that comes with more than an acre. A two-car garage with epoxy flooring, tankless water heater, landscape lighting and fenced in rear space are some of the many features that add to the home's everyday functionality. Tucked into a small neighborhood of estate-sized homesites, yet remarkably convenient to NCSU, Crossroads, Downtown Raleigh, Tryon Road and nearby shopping and dining, 5228 Alva Drive delivers something increasingly difficult to find: space, privacy and a custom-home setting without giving up the conveniences of the city.
