At 320 S Tarboro Street, modern Downtown Raleigh living comes with a private rooftop retreat and room to settle in. Conceived and constructed by an architect as his personal residence in 2021, this distinctive 2,545-square-foot home features 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, off-street parking, a fully fenced backyard, and the rare freedom of no HOA. Situated moments from the historic, multi-million city-backed redevelopment of the former DMV site The main level makes staying in feel like making plans. Sleek floors connect a chef's kitchen, dining area and family room, creating an open invitation to gather. Custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, a gas range and an expansive island put everything in place for a quiet dinner or a full house. Beyond the living space, a screened porch, a patio and a porte-cochère running along the side of the home leave plenty of room to take the evening outside. An oak staircase rises beneath a skylight, bringing natural light into the heart of all three floors. That thoughtful design extends beyond what meets the eye: spray-foam insulation, ENERGY STAR windows and appliances, and zoned HVAC support everyday comfort, resulting in an enviable HERS score. It is the kind of consideration you would expect from an architect designing his own place to land, and it's exactly what makes this modernist marvel so easy to love. On the bedroom level, the primary suite makes a persuasive case for a slower start, with a walk-in closet, double vanity, glass shower and private water closet. Two additional bedrooms share a bath with dual sinks and a separate tub room, while another walk-in closet adds storage close at hand. A fourth bedroom with a full bath welcomes overnight guests or makes room for a studio or office, complemented by walk-in attic storage. Just outside, the private rooftop deck brings the treetops into view and the skyline into focus. Settle in for a sunset, invite a few friends or keep this particular perk all to yourself. When the city calls, restaurants, museums and gathering places like Moore Square, Dorothea Dix and John Chavis Memorial Park put plenty on the agenda. Plans for nearby New Bern Avenue rapid transit and the city-led redevelopment of the former DMV site add to the neighborhood's next chapter, putting future boutiques, bites and Downtown's best just a few blocks away.
