About this home
Walk to the park. Walk to dinner. Walk to the brewery. And come home to nearly half an acre. Welcome to 6901 Baywood Drive, an updated one-level ranch tucked into an established North Raleigh neighborhood with an enviable everyday lifestyle. Set on nearly half an acre with a spacious backyard and a new privacy fence along the front of the property, this home offers something that's increasingly hard to find: room to live, room to entertain, and room to dream about what's next—all without giving up a location close to everything. Inside, the thoughtfully updated 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers comfortable one-level living with a bright, inviting layout and a spacious owner's suite added in 2023. The private primary retreat features its own beautifully appointed bath, creating a comfortable separation from the home's additional bedrooms and living spaces. The real opportunity continues outside. The expansive lot provides plenty of room for outdoor entertaining, gardening, recreation, pets, or future possibilities. Plans are already in place for an ADU, with separate garage and street access, creating exciting potential for multigenerational living, extended guests, a private office, or future rental use, subject to applicable approvals. And then there's the location. Lake Lynn Park, Lynwood Brewing, Target, restaurants, shopping, and the movie theater are all within walking distance, while Umstead State Park, Crabtree Valley Mall, and the rest of North Raleigh are just minutes away. With no HOA, an EV charger, smart-home features, and convenient access to major roads, everyday living here is remarkably easy. Whether you're a first-time buyer looking for room to grow, a household seeking multigenerational flexibility, or a savvy buyer looking for a property with future potential, 6901 Baywood Drive offers an uncommon combination of location, land, privacy, and possibilities in one of Raleigh's most convenient areas. Please note: The 2023 conversion of the garage into the owner's suite was completed without permits and is included in the reported square footage.
