2711 Kilgore Ave, Raleigh, NC 27607

Located on a quiet street in a mature portion of University Park, this enchanted cottage has been lovingly inhabited by only 3 owners since 1941, most recently a licensed architect. Nestled among giant, majestic willow oaks, it is 1 1/2 blocks from the Raleigh Rose Garden, 1/2 block from Isabella Cannon Park, 4 blocks from NCSU campus, and 6 blocks from Cameron Village where you can shop, dine and visit your public library. A 20 minute walk or short bike ride will get you to Whole Foods. A seasonal creek in the backyard supports wildlife including turtles, bunnies, fireflies, hawks and a great horned owl on occasion. The large fenced backyard is set up for fido and includes a doggie door for his access to the basement. Landscaped with a plethora of colorful azaleas, jasmine, dogwoods, tulips, irises and a pollinator garden out front to greet passersby and your guests with delightful colors throughout the growing seasons, you'll feel like you live in a secret garden. 5 strains of blueberries are planted in the front to provide early, mid, and late season varieties of berries for your snacking delight. For RTP commuters, this house has easy access to Wade Avenue/ 1-40 for a short, direct route to work.
