This single-story brick ranch sits on a generous 0.33-acre parcel in Raleigh's established Bentley Woods neighborhood — a rare combination of level yard space and central location. The exterior reads solid and traditional; inside you'll find original hardwood in the living areas and bedrooms paired with luxury vinyl plank in the kitchen and baths. The home was built in 1970 and retains classic ranch proportions: compact, efficient rooms on a single level, a covered carport, and ample backyard for gardening, play, or an addition (subject to zoning).
The interior needs renovation but contains practical bones that will reward a thoughtful update. A central living room anchors the plan with hardwood underfoot, while the kitchen and bathrooms already feature durable LVP that simplifies immediate occupancy or rental. A high-efficiency HVAC system provides modern comfort and helps reduce near-term capital outlay. With roughly 1,050 square feet, the layout is approachable for first-time buyers, downsizers, or investors looking to renovate and re-rent.
Investors will note the recent rental history: the property produced $1,850/month in July 2025, translating to a solid gross yield relative to the current list price. Comparable sales in the area suggest an estimated market value range of $260,000–$290,000, placing this listing within striking distance of local market norms depending on scope of updates. Renovation dollars focused on the kitchen, baths, and cosmetic finishes can materially increase resale or rental upside in a neighborhood seeing steady appreciation.
Location is a key asset: Triangle Town Center shopping is about 2.5 miles away, Wake Tech is roughly 1.2 miles, and Durant Nature Preserve sits near 3.0 miles for weekend trails and green space. Wake County Public Schools serve the lot with Fox Road Elementary (5/10), Wakefield Middle (8/10), and Wakefield High (8/10). Buyers with renovation plans should confirm lot boundaries and complete a full inspection and roof assessment, but for those willing to invest, this brick ranch delivers a durable canvas and a strong, centrally located footprint in Raleigh.
