About this place
Cheerful Family-Friendly Home: Ample Outdoor Space
Welcome to your home away from home in Raleigh! This newly remodeled 1330 sq. ft. brick home is centrally located and perfect for resting after exploring the city.
The modern, family-friendly home boasts a fully-equipped kitchen with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, a convection oven, and gas stovetop with 4 burners and a griddle burner. The family dining room has a table that seats 8 and there's a laundry center in the kitchen.
The upstairs guest space features 3 bright and comfortable bedrooms, including a king-sized bed, queen-sized bed, double bed, twin bed, and a twin sleeper sofa. Each bedroom has a Roku TV, room darkening curtains, extra seating, a chest of drawers, clothes bar in the closet, and extra blankets. The master bedroom has an en suite bathroom with a 4 ft. by 4 ft. shower, while the second bathroom in the hallway features a tub/shower.
Enjoy the multi-level decks and brick patio, complete with two fire features, a fish pond, and seasonal garden. Perfect for coffee in the morning or sharing a meal outside, these outdoor spaces are beautifully lit at night. The backyard is spacious enough for stretching out, while a Pack and Play, crib sheets, high chair, and baby safety gate are available for families.
Located in a calm and safe family-friendly neighborhood, the property is just 15 minutes from downtown Raleigh, PNC Arena, Dorothea Dix Park, and the NC State Fairgrounds and Farmer's Market. Within a mile or two of the house, guests will find plenty of shopping and dining options, including Sam's Club, At Home store, Lowe's, Food Lion, and Walmart Supercenter.
Guests are welcome to park in the driveway and access the upstairs of the house through the front door. The hosts live downstairs when they're in Raleigh, while guests have full access to the upstairs living room, kitchen, and dining room. The front porch and driveway are well-lit, and guests can enjoy access via a smart lock.

Meet the Host
We are a couple with four children and a love for the Smoky Mountains. We are developing a hospitality business in the Smoky Mountains, including luxury cabins, small cabins, and a glamping campground (HospitableHomes.com) We have a passion for travel; having explored Mexico and Central and South America, we aspire to visit Europe, Africa, and the Mediterranean. Our homeschooled children go with us wherever we go. As followers of Jesus, we believe in the Biblical principle of hospitality and aim to embody it in our business and personal lives. We like the out of doors but hate the heat. We should probably live in Alaska. We try to live life to its fullest with our kids in tow.
