About the property

Spacious 5-Bed Traditional Home with Vaulted Entry and ADU Potential

A vaulted entry announces this well-proportioned, traditional two-story home on Clarks Fork Drive. Over 3,160 square feet of living space unfolds with formal rooms and practical family areas: a formal dining room for holiday gatherings, an eat-in kitchen ready for everyday routines, and a living room centered on a fireplace that anchors the main level. The layout balances room sizes and sight lines so daily life and entertaining both feel comfortable.

The primary suite is a private wing with a vaulted ceiling, generous walk-in closet and an en-suite bath featuring separate tub and shower. Four additional upstairs bedrooms and a full bath give families or guests ample breathing room and privacy. Practical details include a 2-car attached garage, level 0.21-acre lot and central HVAC/forced-air systems that support comfortable year-round living.

Owners will appreciate the solid, traditional finishes and the home’s flexible footprint: formal spaces convert easily to home offices or playrooms, and the R-6 zoning allows for accessory dwelling unit potential — an attractive option for rental income or multigenerational living. The property has been owner-occupied since 2018 and shows well for move-in readiness, with a condition assessment of “good.”

Outside, the yard is level and low-maintenance, ideal for play, gardening, or future improvements. Location is a practical standout: Riverside residents enjoy quick access to the Neuse River Greenway (about 1 mile), Triangle Town Center (2.5 miles), WakeMed North (approximately 3 miles), and Buffaloe Road Aquatic Center (around 2 miles). This home is a compelling choice for buyers seeking space, neighborhood amenities, and upside through potential ADU conversion.

Editorial market perspective

Riverside and northeast Raleigh are currently favoring sellers: inventory sits at roughly 2.5 months and average DOM is near 30 days, producing multiple-offer activity on well-priced homes. Median sale price in the market area is about $495,000 with one-year appreciation modest at ~5% and five-year appreciation around 25%. Recent local comps within 0.5 miles show sales between $460K and $494K and price-per-square-foot metrics in the $145–$170 range — supporting a valuation midpoint near $510,000 for a 3,164 SF home in good condition. Single-family homes in this corridor continue to attract families and investors because of strong rental demand (estimated rents for similar homes run roughly $2,200–$2,800/mo) and proximity to major retail and medical anchors. With limited inventory and steady buyer traffic, well-maintained, move-in-ready homes priced inside the market band typically sell within a few weeks. For buyers, the moment is competitive but predictable; for sellers, the environment supports achieving close to market estimate when presentation and pricing align.
