Reimagined Designer Townhome Inside Raleigh’s Beltline
This is not a typical townhome — 653 Fallon Grove Way was taken apart and thoughtfully rebuilt to deliver the kind of detail you usually find in single-family renovations. The sellers invested more than $100,000 in 2020 designer upgrades that carry through every room: custom shiplap and built-ins frame the living room fireplace and a dry bar, architectural wainscoting adds depth to the kitchen, and continuous hardwood floors now run across all three levels for a cohesive, gallery-like feel.
The chef-adjacent kitchen combines updated cabinetry, newer appliances, and layered finishes that read both elevated and approachable. Entertaining is effortless: the main living area flows to an extended back patio and fully fenced backyard, giving you additional outdoor living without yard work — exterior maintenance is handled by the HOA.
What sets this plan apart is the fully finished third floor. With a large bonus/bedroom space, full bath, and closet it functions as a private suite, media room, or home office — the flexibility increases this home's usable footprint in a way most townhouses can’t match. Upstairs conveniences continue with a generous second-floor laundry that includes built-in cabinetry and a utility sink, while every bedroom benefits from professionally installed closet systems by Closets by Design.
The garage was reimagined as more than parking: Closets by Design outfitted the space for storage and entertainment, the door was upgraded to a high-lift system for ceiling storage, and a dedicated accessory sub-panel is already wired for EV charging. With modern systems, tasteful designer paint palette, and move-in readiness, this townhome stands out as a turnkey option for buyers seeking low-maintenance, high-design living inside the Beltline.

A factual market snapshot around 653 Fallon Grove Way.
This listing is priced at $785,000, which aligns with the property's valuation midpoint and a local price-per-square-foot of about $288 — a helpful anchor for buyers and agents negotiating Inside the Beltline townhomes. Townhouse inventory inside the Beltline has historically been tighter than suburban markets, and renovated, low-maintenance homes with finished bonus space tend to attract quicker attention from buyers who prioritize central location and turnkey condition. For this property, the finished third floor and garage upgrades add measurable market differentiation and utility that support the current list price. Buyers should weigh the value of reduced exterior chores (HOA-maintained envelope) and the EV-ready garage wiring when comparing similarly sized homes. For sellers, the combination of designer updates and flexible floorplan positions the home competitively; for buyers, this is a rare opportunity to secure a move-in-ready, three-level plan with premium finishes without the immediate need for additional renovations.
