1007 Glen Eden Drive

If you've been searching for an ITB Raleigh home, chances are you've driven past 1007 Glen Eden Drive frequently. This hillside home sits just above one of West Raleigh's iconic corridors. Perfectly located at the crossroads of Ridge Road and Glen Eden Drive, it is at the center of a long list of attractions, offering a lifestyle that blends urban convenience with a serene retreat.
Residing where Ridge Road and Glen Eden meet places you within the heartbeat of West Raleigh, with quick access to greenways, parks, highways, and major destinations: Five Points, North Hills, the Village District, and Ridgewood Shopping Center, home to Whole Foods. Are you a hockey fan? Or a frequent flyer? Lenovo Center, home to the Carolina Hurricanes, and RDU International Airport are quick trips. The ease with which you'll navigate to these destinations and others from the corner of Ridge and Glen Eden is unmatched.
Perfectly located for convenience, the real magic of this home is its ability to be a peaceful escape from the world. The moment you pull into the driveway, the lush landscaping and inviting outdoor living space make it feel like a world apart from the rest of your day. Step into the backyard, and you've arrived at your private arboretum. The lush zoysia lawn, blooming perennial garden, and tranquil stone paver patio create a place to unwind. Whether you're hosting backyard gatherings, relaxing on the deck, or enjoying sunset games of bocce ball, this space is designed for both tranquility and entertainment.
Inside, the home's thoughtful updates make it functional and beautiful. The fully renovated kitchen is a showstopper, featuring a Bosch dishwasher and Refrigerator, JennAir range with Zephyr downdraft exhaust, open shelving, pantry storage, and built-in multifunction convection and microwave ovens by GE Advantium. The sun-filled breakfast room and the open living and dining spaces flow seamlessly, creating an inviting atmosphere. A wood-burning fireplace with a travertine hearth is a focal point in the living room, and a prism chandelier illuminates the dining table in the distance.
The daylight basement is a true bonus, offering incredible versatility with an exterior door to the backyard. A spacious paneled family room, large laundry room (with bright, south-facing windows perfect for a hobby studio), and brand-new carpeting installed in January create endless potential. The family room features gas logs and a painted masonry surround for added comfort. Imagine transforming this multi-purpose space into an in-law suite, apartment, Airbnb rental, or private office. With the right advisors, you could convert the laundry into a dual-purpose kitchenette and transform the partial bath into a full by adding a shower or tub. This is the kind of opportunity this home and location offer. Bring a vision of your own!
The home is complemented by a 2 space carport offering easy access to the house and providing storage and a potting area replete with pea gravel. No garage to declutter or organize! A convenient breezeway connects the carport to the side entry at the breakfast room, making light work out of a trip in with a load of groceries, luggage, or your daily haul.
