Updated 2BR/2BA End-Unit Townhome with Private Patio
This end-unit townhome at 717 Tanglebrook Way combines single-story convenience with thoughtful updates and a private outdoor retreat. As soon as you arrive, the extra exposure of an end-unit is evident — more windows, added privacy, and a tucked-away fenced patio that reads like a small urban yard for morning coffee or evening grilling. The ranch-style footprint keeps all living areas on one level, delivering accessible, easy-care living with a practical driveway that fits two vehicles.
Inside, luxury vinyl plank flooring runs through the main living areas and ties together a crisp, updated kitchen equipped with stainless steel appliances. A working fireplace anchors the living room and creates a cozy focal point for cooler evenings. The layout provides two comfortable bedrooms and two full baths, and the well-maintained condition means minimal near-term maintenance for a buyer who wants move-in readiness.
Systems include central air and forced-air electric heating; the roof is asphalt shingle construction typical of its 1983 build year — a reminder that inspections and system verifications are important steps in your due diligence. There is no garage, but off-street driveway parking for two simplifies everyday life. The private fenced patio offers a rare bit of outdoor space for a townhome in this pocket of North Raleigh.
Location is a standout: Yester Oaks places you 0.5 miles from Lafayette Village’s boutiques and restaurants and about 1.2 miles from Shelley Lake Park’s trails and water views. North Hills shopping and services are an easy drive, and Lead Mine Road provides quick commuting routes. Families will note nearby West Millbrook Middle School’s strong reputation; Lead Mine Elementary and Sanderson High serve the area as well.
From an investment and valuation perspective, recent neighborhood sales point to a fair market range of $275,000–$295,000 (midpoint ~$285,000). The property has been owner-occupied and updated since its 2020 purchase, offering both primary-residence appeal and solid rental prospects (estimated rent ≈ $1,500/month). Buyers should review HOA rules and schedule a professional inspection to confirm the condition of major systems and roof prior to closing. Reach out to schedule a tour and see how this rare end-unit offering in Yester Oaks fits your lifestyle or portfolio.

A factual market snapshot around 717 Tanglebrook Way.
North Raleigh’s Yester Oaks sits within a balanced, low-inventory market where homes generally move within about 30 days. Supply is tight but not frenzied — current inventory measures roughly 2.5 months, which favors sellers compared with a neutral 6-month market but still allows buyers time to negotiate. Median area sale prices have shown steady appreciation: about 5% year-over-year and roughly 25% over five years, reflecting continued demand from professionals and families drawn to good schools and convenient retail nodes. Townhomes in this submarket often trade slightly below single-family median pricing, creating accessible entry points; recent nearby townhome sales clustered between $275K and $295K suggest this property is competitively positioned near its estimated midpoint of $285,000. Average days on market near 30 and a modest inventory mean motivated buyers can expect a reasonable cadence of showings and offers. For investors, projected gross rental income of about $1,500/month yields roughly a 6.3% gross return today, making this an appealing time to consider acquisition for either owner-occupancy or income production, provided inspections and HOA terms meet buyer requirements.
