Welcome to 413 Alston Street - where upscale living meets the ultimate downtown Raleigh experience! If you're an out-of-state buyer, here's what you need to know: This home isn't just centrally located—it's smack dab in the middle of everything. Imagine being just three blocks from the ultra-popular Transfer Food Hall, where eight restaurants are at your fingertips, and steps from the vibrant energy of downtown Raleigh's finest spots. Need to zip around? You're near major highways like I-40 and I-440, giving you access to the Triangle in no time. The floor plan is as functional as it is cool, with an outdoor living setup that's made for entertaining: a covered front porch, screened-in back porch, private balcony off the primary bedroom, AND a third-floor deck with stunning downtown views. There's even a spot for a flatscreen and sound system, making it the perfect space for parties or peaceful evenings. The first-floor bedroom can double as an office if you're working from home. Inside, you'll find a kitchen that shines with high-end cabinetry, quartz countertops, a pot filler (because who doesn't love that?), and stainless-steel KitchenAid appliances. The primary bedroom features a walk-in closet and a luxe bath, and the living room? Flooded with natural light and a gas fireplace that screams cozy sophistication. Parking's easy with a rear pad, plus you've got extras like built-in speakers, stairwell accent lighting, solid oak floors, and a mudroom catch-all for convenience. Oh, and did we mention 100% financing with no PMI and a $5K lender credit for qualified buyers? This is downtown living done right. Thinking about moving downtown? This house makes the decision easy!
