Updated 3-Bed, 3.5-Bath Townhome Steps from Crabtree Mall
This three-story townhome at 2512 Blooming St in The Townes at Crabtree stakes its claim on convenience: Crabtree Valley Mall is a half-mile walk, Raleigh Greenway trails sit less than a third of a mile away, and Downtown Raleigh is just five miles from your doorstep. The home’s brick-and-stone façade gives way to 2,305 square feet of thoughtfully updated living space where practical upgrades meet everyday comfort.
Inside, original 2007 character is complemented by smart upgrades—hardwood floors run through main living areas, a fireplace anchors the living room, and the kitchen has been refreshed with stainless steel appliances, a gas range and a center island that creates a natural gathering point. Three bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms are arranged to support family life or flexible work-from-home needs; multiple outdoor spots include a private deck off the main level and a paver patio below for grilling and evening gatherings.
Sellers have addressed major capital items: a new roof (2024), a new HVAC system (2023) and a new hot water heater (2023) significantly reduce short-term maintenance concerns. The two-car attached garage and level lot give practical convenience for daily routines, while HOA oversight preserves common areas and community curb appeal—buyers should review HOA rules and fees as part of due diligence.
Location is a standout: morning runs on the Raleigh Greenway, errands at Crabtree or North Hills, and easy access to Lead Mine Road and other arterials make this a practical choice for commuters and families. Recent nearby sales and rentals show steady demand for townhomes here, and the combination of upgraded systems, walkable amenities and proximity to shopping and trails makes 2512 Blooming St a move-in-ready, low-hassle option in a fast-appreciating pocket of Raleigh.
