Home Description

Welcome to 5208 Melbourne Road, a fully renovated all-brick ranch located on a flat lot that backs directly to Powell Park in the heart of Raleigh. Renovated from the studs up and completed in February 2022, this home was reimagined with no expense spared and exceptional attention to detail. The home was transformed from a 4-bedroom, 2-bath layout into a more open and functional 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath floor plan. The kitchen, dining, and living areas were opened up to create a bright, welcoming flow, anchored by a fully remodeled kitchen featuring new cabinets, double pantry cabinets, countertops, tile backsplash, appliances, and an oversized island. A mudroom and half bath were added off the carport for added convenience. The luxurious primary suite includes a tiled walk-in shower, dual vanity, private water closet, and large closet. Two spacious guest rooms share a jack and jill bathroom. The dedicated laundry room is centrally located and features custom cabinetry. Every major system was replaced during the renovation in 2022, including a new roof, new HVAC and ductwork, updated plumbing, and a completely new electrical system with new panel, wiring, switches, outlets, recessed lighting, and ceiling fans in all bedrooms and the living room. The home also includes new windows (2022), interior and exterior doors & refinished hardwood floors throughout. A fully finished studio/workshop was added with new insulation, lighting, HVAC, and electrical—ideal for a home office, gym, or creative space. The crawl space is protected with a vapor barrier. Extensive landscaping was completed in 2025, including new beds, rock features, and plantings. This turnkey home blends classic charm with modern updates in an unbeatable location. Don't miss the opportunity to enjoy move-in-ready living with direct access to Powell Park and close proximity to downtown Raleigh, NC State, and Cary.
