Contemporary 3-Bed, 3-Bath Home in 5401 North Community
Positioned along Archwood Avenue in Raleigh’s fast-growing 5401 North community, this contemporary two-story home (built 2022) offers 2,114 square feet of low-maintenance, modern living. The moment you step inside you notice thoughtful finishes: hardwood floors tie the main living areas together, a gas fireplace anchors the family room, and an upgraded kitchen features granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances designed for everyday life and small-scale entertaining.
Three bedrooms and three full bathrooms are laid out across two levels to balance privacy and practicality. The open main level accommodates living, dining, and kitchen functions without wasted space, while upstairs bedrooms provide quiet separation. Central air and forced-air heating maintain comfort year-round; an asphalt-shingle roof and quality construction mean minimal upkeep for years to come.
Outside, the 0.09-acre, level lot keeps yard work simple while the two-car attached garage and private driveway handle vehicles and storage needs. The home was purchased as new construction in July 2022 and remains in excellent condition—an appealing option for buyers who want modern systems and finishes without the renovation timeline.
Location is a standout. Wake Technical Community College sits just 0.5 miles away and the Neuse River Greenway is roughly a mile from the front door, making weekday routines and weekend recreation both convenient. Triangle Town Center and other shopping destinations lie within a short drive, and downtown Raleigh is about 8 miles away for work and cultural outings. With recent comparable sales in the immediate neighborhood and an assessed value consistent with market estimates, this home suits owner-occupants seeking contemporary design and professionals or investors evaluating a strong rental market in 5401 North.

A factual market snapshot around 6413 Archwood Ave.
5401 North and the wider Raleigh market currently lean in favor of sellers: inventory sits at approximately 2.5 months and average days on market hover near 30. Those metrics point to relatively low supply and steady buyer demand for single-family homes, especially newer construction with contemporary finishes. Median sale prices in the area are around $450,000 with one-year appreciation near 5% and five-year appreciation about 25%, indicating continued value growth though at a moderated pace compared with earlier rapid gains. Recent comps on Archwood Avenue (sales in 2022–2024 ranging roughly $435k–$525k) validate pricing in the $416k–$460k band, with a midpoint estimate near $438k ($207 per sq ft). For investors, rental comparables and an estimated monthly rent of about $2,189 suggest a gross yield near 6%. Given tight inventory, buyers who are comfortable acting decisively can capture modern, low-maintenance homes—while sellers benefit from a brisk market—so this listing represents a timely opportunity for both owner-occupants and investors who value location and turn-key condition.
