At the Cottages at Powell Park, 722 Powell Drive introduces a fresh option for buyers seeking new construction in West Raleigh. This thoughtfully planned single-family home offers 1,792 finished square feet, three bedrooms and three full baths, and a detached two-car garage — a rare combination so close to downtown. The design emphasizes generous room sizes and a layout that puts daily life front-and-center: an open main level with a large kitchen island and stone countertops that anchor gatherings, while stainless steel appliances provide modern convenience.
A main-level guest suite creates flexibility for visitors, long-term guests, or a private home office without sacrificing privacy. Flow from the kitchen into living and dining areas engineered for everyday living and weekend entertaining. Upstairs the primary suite is intentionally spacious and paired with its own full bath; a second upstairs bedroom and full bath complete the private wing for family or roommates.
Outdoor living includes a covered porch that extends your living footprint and a private setting sheltered within the community. Practical systems include full A/C and the convenience of a detached garage for two cars and storage. The home’s finishes — stone counters and durable, modern fixtures — are selected to deliver low-maintenance living in a central location.
Location is a major draw: minutes to Downtown Raleigh and with quick access to I-440, I-40, Research Triangle Park and RDU Airport, this address streamlines commutes and weekend plans. Lifestyle destinations nearby include Fenton, North Hills, Umstead State Park and the Lenovo Center for sports and events. New construction this central to West Raleigh is uncommon; this home presents a rare chance to secure a brand-new residence with thoughtfully appointed spaces and true proximity to the city’s best amenities.
West Raleigh around Powell Drive blends established residential streets with steadily increasing new-construction pockets like the Cottages at Powell Park. Residents enjoy speedy access to Downtown Raleigh’s restaurants and cultural venues while still being minutes from major regional employment centers such as RTP. Nearby retail and entertainment at Fenton and North Hills add daily convenience; outdoor recreation is anchored by Umstead State Park’s trails and greenways. The neighborhood appeals to buyers seeking a centrally located, low-maintenance home that keeps commutes short and leisure options plentiful.
This listing sits at the intersection of limited new-construction supply and steady buyer demand in West Raleigh. The broker list price of $654,900 aligns with the valuation midpoint ($654,900) and a price-per-square-foot of approximately $365 — metrics that reflect premium positioning for centrally located, move-in-new homes. Local buyers continue to prioritize newer, low-maintenance single-family homes close to employment centers (RTP) and downtown amenities; inventory for comparable product types remains constrained relative to demand, making well-priced new builds more competitive. For sellers, that dynamic supports firm pricing; for buyers, it means timely decisions often win contracts. Given the home's central location and full build-out, this property is likely to attract both professionals commuting to RTP and buyers seeking long-term stay-in-place options, so expect focused interest and limited negotiating runway compared with more plentiful resale inventory farther from core Raleigh.
Very good outdoor recreation access with Umstead State Park nearby for hiking and trails, community greenways for daily walking and biking, and sports/events at the Lenovo Center just minutes away.
