It has been used for holiday storage but could easily be converted into a finished room, giving the buyer valuable expansion potential.

The yard is fenced, with front and rear access gates and thoughtful design touches throughout. A standing crawlspace, storage area beneath the home provide space for tools, bikes, seasonal items, or gardening supplies. Updates include a nine-year-old roof, a three-year-old HVAC system. A transferable termite bond is in place through Terminix. This home lives well as-is and is ideal for a buyer who appreciates style, function, and the ability to personalize over time. Whether you're drawn to the landscaping, the layout, the attic potential, or simply the feel of a home that's been well-loved and meticulously maintained, 2900 Sylvania Drive offers a rare opportunity to own a character-rich property in one of Raleigh's most convenient and coveted neighborhoods.
