5309 Richland DR Raleigh, NC 27612

HIGHEST AND BEST OFFER DUE BY 6 PM SATURDAY, JANUARY 24. Sellers prefer 60 day close. Welcome home to a rare Raleigh offering where space, style, and flexibility come together beautifully. With six bedrooms, a fully renovated chef's kitchen, and a finished basement with comfortable ceiling height (a true find in Raleigh), this home delivers exceptional functionality paired with thoughtful design throughout.

Oversized windows flood the home with natural light, creating bright, open living spaces that feel expansive and inviting. The main-level primary suite offers a private retreat—perfectly positioned for both comfort and convenience. At the heart of the home, the renovated kitchen shines with modern finishes, abundant cabinetry, and a massive waterfall-edge island designed for gathering, cooking, and entertaining with ease.

The living room is a year-round showstopper: cozy up by the gas fireplace as snow falls softly outside in winter, or enjoy peaceful, tree-filled views and filtered sunlight during warmer months. Step outside onto the deck to grill, relax, or unwind—surrounded by mature trees that provide privacy and a tranquil, wooded backdrop. Below, additional covered and uncovered outdoor spaces extend the home's livability, offering flexibility for entertaining, play, or quiet evenings outdoors.

Downstairs, the finished basement lives like a true second level, featuring two bedrooms, a full bath, a living area, a wet bar, generous storage, and a flexible bonus space ideal for a home gym, media room, or playroom. This layout is exceptionally well-suited for guests, multi-generational living, or extended stays, with natural separation that enhances privacy throughout the home.

Additional highlights include a side-load garage that enhances curb appeal, three HVAC systems with all furnaces replaced in recent years, and access to nearby hiking trails. With no HOA fees and a layout that balances openness with privacy, this home offers the freedom, comfort, and space buyers are searching for—while remaining conveniently connected to everything Raleigh has to offer.
