722 Powell Dr, Raleigh, NC, 27606

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.

The home’s finishes — stone counters and durable, modern fixtures — are selected to deliver low-maintenance living in a central location.
