About the host
Your host
I moved to Raleigh 12 years ago and have loved seeing downtown evolve over the least decade. This is my third short term rental and first one in here in the Triangle. I also own a vacation home in the mountains of North Carolina and a beach condo in Emerald Isle. Prior to my career in real estate, I was in the hospitality business including managing a boutique resort in the Virgin Islands where I lived for 5 years.
Why they chose this property
Carefully curated, this renovated 1960's ranch is just minutes from downtown Raleigh. Multiple living rooms allow you and your guests to spread out if need be. We have tried to create the perfect blend of usable indoor and outdoor space with brand new furnishings both inside and out. The fenced backyard is the perfect urban oasis where you can feel like you are away from everything yet so close to it all. Dine either inside or outside under the stars and retreat to the fire-pit on those cool evenings. We purchased this home due to the quaint neighborhood, proximity to downtown Raleigh and all of the surrounding parks nearby.
What makes this property unique
Record player with vinyl, fire-pit, gas grill, gas range, one level living, pet friendly, walkable to downtown, washer/dryer and so much more.
