About the property

Renovated 3-Bed, 2.5-Bath Townhome with Two-Car Garage

A quiet cul-de-sac address on Hourglass Court introduces this fully updated three-story townhome in Glenwood North. The careful renovation is immediately evident: a fully remodeled kitchen anchored by new appliances and durable surfaces, updated bathrooms including a primary suite with an oversized, elegantly tiled shower, and mechanical systems replaced recently (roof, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and water heater relocated for convenience). With 2,114 square feet across three levels, the layout gives families and professionals private zones plus flexible gathering space.

The main living area feels purposeful rather than fussy — an open dining/living plane that connects to the kitchen so weekday routines and larger get-togethers both work. Thoughtful finishes and clean transitions make the home easy to personalize: updated baths, modern fixtures, and a versatile bonus room that can serve as a home office, playroom, or media area. Downstairs, a finished lower level expands usable square footage and offers room for a gym, home theater, or hobby space.

Storage is never an afterthought here. The oversized two-car attached garage plus driveway parking for two vehicles fits modern needs for tools, bikes, and seasonal storage. The modest, low-maintenance yard and level lot make outdoor upkeep straightforward—ideal for buyers who want proximity to city amenities without a large yard to manage.

Living in Glenwood North puts you a short drive from Crabtree Valley Mall’s retail and dining options (about 2 miles) and under 10 minutes to walking and trail access at William B. Umstead State Park (approximately 3 miles). Commuters appreciate the easy routes to RDU Airport and Downtown Raleigh. The community itself offers resident amenities — pool, clubhouse, and fitness center — that extend the living space beyond the home. For buyers seeking a move-in ready home with modern systems and strong location fundamentals, 5919 Hourglass Ct delivers turn-key convenience in one of Raleigh’s steadily appreciating neighborhoods.

Editorial market perspective

Glenwood North is currently leaning toward a seller's market: inventory sits around 2.5 months and homes average roughly 30 days on market. Median area sale price trends are steady to modestly up—about 5% year-over-year and roughly 25% over five years—supported by demand from professionals and families who prize proximity to downtown, RDU, Crabtree Valley, and Umstead State Park. Townhomes in this pocket move quickly; recent comparable sales within a half-mile clustered in the $440K–$475K range, validating a midpoint valuation near $450,000. Rental demand is solid as well, with recent 3BR leases in the neighborhood fetching near $2,200/month (rough rent-per-sf around $1.04), which supports investor interest if considering a buy-to-rent strategy. With limited inventory and multiple-offer activity common, buyers who prioritize updated systems and low immediate maintenance risk will find this property competitively positioned. Sellers benefit from strong comps and quick marketing windows, while buyers who act decisively can secure a renovated, move-in ready home without the renovation timeline and cost risk.
