You’ll notice the vertical volume the moment you step inside this loft-style condo at Villages East — an intelligently arranged 1-bedroom with a true loft and a cozy fireplace that defines the upper-level living area. At 1,006 square feet the floor plan feels larger than typical one-bed condos: the loft is a flexible third space for a home office, guest sleep area, or intimate TV nook, and the fireplace gives that space curb appeal and year-round comfort.
Practical living stretches beyond the interior. This unit includes two screened-in porches that extend living outdoors without the pests — perfect for morning coffee, potting succulents, or creating a private reading spot. The building’s construction (frame with a shingle roof) and systems are typical of 1986 construction; HVAC is central with forced air and central AC. Surface, unassigned parking is available in the complex — convenient for residents and visitors.
Location is a standout: the condo sits in Northeast Raleigh with easy access to Capital Boulevard (about 0.5 miles), shopping at Triangle Town Center (1.2 miles), and everyday green space at Spring Forest Road Park (0.3 miles). Wake Technical Community College is roughly 2.5 miles away — a benefit for students or faculty looking for nearby housing. The unit has been owner-occupied since 2021 and shows the practical wear of lived-in comfort.
From an investment angle this listing is competitively priced at $135,000 (about $134/sqft). Comparable sales inside the same building have ranged higher in recent years — including a 2023 sale at Unit 306 and a remodeled two-bedroom sale in 2025 — which illustrates steady demand for condos here. For buyers seeking affordability without sacrificing location, this property delivers a rare combination: loft living, dual screened porches, and proximity to shopping and transit corridors. Buyers should verify HOA fees and review inspection reports (pending) to confirm condition and costs, but the package is an attractive option for first-time owners or rental investors seeking a compact, versatile unit in North Raleigh.
