843 Historian St, Raleigh, NC 27603

Some houses make you choose: location or space, neighborhood or privacy, fun now or room to grow later. This one didn't get the memo. Welcome to Renaissance Park—just 9 minutes from Fayetteville Street, 10 from NC State and close enough to Downtown Raleigh that dinner plans don't require a logistical meeting. Inside, you've got 5 bedrooms, 3 full baths and a nearly $100K addition completed in 2025 that added two bedrooms plus a bright, window-filled flex space upstairs. Translation: offices, guests, hobbies, Peloton, future plans...there's room for all of it. There's also a first-floor bedroom beside a full bath AND a separate office with pocket doors and built-ins, so working from the kitchen table can officially become a thing of the past. The main level feels open without feeling like one giant room, with 10-ft ceilings, LVP flooring, modern lighting, custom closet systems and details that give the house some actual personality. The kitchen brings granite counters, plenty of cabinetry and prep space, and opens to the family room with a gas fireplace. The primary suite is appropriately grown-up with a tray ceiling, walk-in closet, soaking tub, tiled shower and dual sinks. Outside, the private fenced backyard is intentionally low-maintenance—because weekends are precious—and the $20K covered outdoor space added in 2020 has three skylights, recessed lighting, a ceiling fan and a gas grilling line. Add the detached two-car garage with epoxied floors, extra parking and green space behind the home, and you've got a pretty sweet setup. Then Renaissance Park takes over where the house leaves off: resort-style pool, fitness center, pickleball, tennis, volleyball, playground, clubhouse and a neighborhood social calendar with everything from pool parties and yoga to book club and poker nights. And Raleigh is right outside the neighborhood. Downtown South is about 7 minutes away, Dorothea Dix Park about 10, Raleigh Golf Association is practically around the corner, and I-40 and US-70 make getting to RTP or RDU easy. 2020 roof. 2024 upstairs HVAC. 2020 water heater. Fiber cement siding. Lots of updates already handled. Close to the city. Room for your people. Space to work. A backyard for the dog. Pickleball down the street. And enough house for whatever comes next. Turns out, you don't have to choose. Home professionally measured. Showings to begin Friday. Please, see list of documents for features.
