About this property

The City Cottage, pet friendly, walk to shops, food & NCSU

  • This cozy home is only 1.5 miles to downtown Raleigh in one of the most sought after neighborhoods. University Park is walking distance to NC State and Village District and so much more. You'll have easy access to the airport, RTP, UNC and Duke Universities and the interstate. Venues such as Red Hat and PNC Arena are a quick car ride away. You'll be in the heart of it all, with everything at your fingertips but are nestled into a home with plenty of yard space. Newly added putting green.

    You'll have access to street parking, private driveway, the entire home and yard. Shed is there but is occupied with owners things.
    Washer/dryer are in the home.
    This is a dog friendly home. All housebroken, friendly dogs are welcome but I must be notified if you are bringing a dog. Please clean up after your dog, don't let them dig up the grass/plants. Dogs are not to be left unattended if they tend to tear up stuff or are not good out of a crate.

Great location in Raleigh. Everything as advertised and host was welcoming. Fenced yard for the family traveling with a four legged member was absolutely key. Would rent again.

Perfect NC State weekend

Perfect location and space for 5 of us visiting NC State for the ACC Track Championships. The house had plenty of room and amenities for all of us. Plenty of restaurant options and grocery blocks away was a bonus! Short drive to NC State and other area attractions. Definitely recommend!

OWEE Summit

It was the perfect place for an intimate business retreat. There was space to relax outback on the deck, solve the world’s problems at the dining table and rest our head at night. We will be back!
