2638 Lakeview Dr, Raleigh, NC 27609

Set on a sweeping 0.45-acre parcel directly adjacent to the fairways of Carolina Country Club, 2638 Lakeview Drive is a classic 1955 traditional reimagined for contemporary living. The home's brick-and-fiber-cement façade, expansive front porch and circular driveway announce the thoughtful balance of original character and more than $400,000 in recent renovations. With 3,843 finished square feet, the plan emphasizes generous living spaces and private bedroom wings for modern family life.

The heart of the home is a chef-grade kitchen outfitted with Miele appliances, an oversized center island and premium finishes—an upgrade level typically found in new construction but here woven into an established Country Club Hills residence. Two main living rooms, each anchored by a fireplace, give options for formal gatherings or casual evenings. A quiet, dedicated home office provides a private workspace while a first-floor primary suite delivers convenience and luxury with dual custom closets and a fully renovated primary bath.

Upstairs you'll find additional bedrooms and baths configured for family and guests, maintaining privacy and comfortable scale. Systems include central air and a heat pump; the renovation-focused scope significantly reduces near-term maintenance exposure, though roof age and other due diligence items should be verified. Interior condition is listed as excellent and the workmanship reflects an investment-minded renovation rather than piecemeal fixes.

Outside, the level lot presents rare flexibility in midtown Raleigh—ample space for a pool, expanded outdoor entertaining areas, or a future accessory dwelling given R-4 zoning that permits ADUs. Mature trees and direct adjacency to golf-course open space create a park-like setting while keeping quick access to North Hills, top-rated schools, and Midtown amenities. This property blends the calm of an established neighborhood with the conveniences of central Raleigh, delivering a turnkey option for buyers seeking prestige, space, and thoughtful upgrades.
