Home Description

Nestled in one of Raleigh's most sought-after neighborhoods, this beautifully updated craftsman-style bungalow offers the perfect blend of historic charm and modern comfort. This 4 bedroom/2 full bath home is ideally located in the heart of the bustling Boylan Heights neighborhood, with top Raleigh attractions within walking distance (Dix Park, Pullen Park, Boulted Bread, Benchwarmers, and other Downtown establishments). Step inside and find hardwood floors throughout the main level, an updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances and a full bathroom with plank tile floor and a classic clawfoot tub. The lower level boasts artfully stained concrete floors, creating a sleek and versatile family room with built-in bookshelves and wet bar—perfect for entertaining or relaxing. Outdoor living spaces abound, including a gated rocking-chair front porch, a screened back porch for year-round enjoyment, and a fully fenced backyard with patio and private driveway access. Updates to the outside space prioritize owner convenience: additional detached storage shed built in 2021, and electric vehicle home charger system installed in 2024. A comprehensive renovation in 2015 modernized the kitchen, both bathrooms, and installed a new roof. Whether savoring your morning coffee on the front porch, hosting gatherings in the cozy lower level family room or exploring nearby parks and cultural hotspots, 717 Dorothea Drive invites you to experience the best of Raleigh living.
