Discover a rare opportunity to build a custom residence on a private, wooded 0.53-acre homesite in the established Kentwood subdivision, just minutes from North Carolina State University and Meredith College. Set back from the road and framed by a natural stream along the frontage, this property offers a unique sense of privacy, separation, and tranquility--creating the feel of a secluded retreat while also providing a natural buffer from the road. A flat, buildable homesite is positioned in the center of the lot, offering an ideal foundation for a custom home with both privacy and elevation, while the rear of the property rises, allowing for additional design flexibility and the potential for a private, elevated backyard retreat. Surrounded by mature trees and nestled within a quiet, established neighborhood, the homesite presents an exceptional canvas for a luxury custom build, infill project, or long-term investment. The property is zoned R-4 with sewer and water lines available at the street, and while a bridge installation is required to cross the stream, it enhances the sense of arrival and exclusivity. According to GIS mapping, the primary building area is not located in the flood plain. Enjoy effortless access to key Raleigh destinations, including NC State (approximately 4 minutes), Fenton (9 minutes), downtown Raleigh (10 minutes), and RDU International Airport (15 minutes), along with convenient connectivity to major corridors--all while living in a tucked-away environment rarely found inside the Beltline in a rapidly growing area. With no known HOA and strong potential for a custom home build, infill project, or long-term investment, this property offers a compelling opportunity in one of Raleigh's most desirable locations.
