What sets 1703 Raeford Rd apart is the combination of scale, provenance, and lot — a substantial 3,552-square-foot Traditional built in 1941 that occupies a prominent 0.61-acre corner site in Haymount. The brick-veneer façade and mature street presence give the house immediate curb appeal; step inside and the rhythm of hardwood floors, formal living and dining rooms, and a cozy fireplace reveal the home’s original character updated for everyday life.
The kitchen serves as an anchor for family activity: granite countertops surround a cooktop island designed for hands-on prep, and there’s ample cabinetry for storage. Formal rooms flank the central circulation, while a dedicated study adds a quiet place to work or read. Four bedrooms and four and a half baths are distributed across two stories, providing flexible arrangements for guests, multigenerational living, or a home office tucked away from main entertaining areas.
One of the most valuable assets here is the partially finished basement — a built-in secondary living area with its own kitchen set-up and full bath. That space can function as an au pair suite, in-law wing, long-term rental, or recreation zone with direct utility for household needs. Systems include central air and natural gas forced air; the roof is shingle. Parking is straightforward: a two-car attached carport plus a long driveway for extra vehicles.
Outside, the corner lot offers room to expand gardens, play areas, or an outdoor entertaining terrace while remaining within Haymount’s established streetscape. The house is being offered As-Is; prospective buyers should review inspection items and the property’s historic-neighborhood considerations. Practical highlights — hardwood floors through most rooms, granite counters, the basement’s extra living/kitchen area, and an oversized lot near city conveniences — make this a compelling opportunity for someone seeking a substantial home with both period detail and multi-use potential.
Positioned minutes from Cross Creek Mall, Cape Fear Valley Medical Center, and Fayetteville Technical Community College, the home sits within a walkable, amenity-rich pocket of Fayetteville. Whether you’re attracted to the neighborhood’s steady appreciation or the flexible floorplan and lot, 1703 Raeford Rd rewards a buyer with vision and an appreciation for classic Haymount character.
