827 Brookside Dr, Raleigh, NC 27604

Available mid June, this cozy retreat is just a hop, skip, and jump away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Raleigh. If you're looking for a super comfortable home with a great backyard life, along with the convenience of being close to downtown... this is it. This two bedroom bungalow is set just on the outskirts of the Oakwood/Mordecai area; offering all of the feel with none of the pretense. Within close proximity to Person Street and all its neighborhood offerings, the living area of the home includes a cozy living room, a spacious dining room as well as an eat-in kitchen. The kitchen provides everything one needs to create almost any gourmet meal including: open shelving, hand-poured granite counter tops, a gas range stove, fully functioning garbage disposal, and a stainless steel Bosch dishwasher. The two bedrooms are a good size with one that can double as an office with a built in desk. The backyard is where this home really shines. Perfect for entertaining or just kicking back in, the home opens up to a huge fenced in backyard with a welcoming porch and brick patio just down the stairs. One of the biggest attractions of the whole property is an awesome studio built entirely out of reclaimed materials by a group of NC State Architect Students. It offers a wood burning stove, sound system, plenty of storage, and views of a trickling creek that burbles nearby. It was built as an artist's studio and has plenty of room to work with large canvasses. You've just got to see it!
