Property Description
Welcome to 1341 Swallow Drive — a versatile, tree-lined retreat in the heart of West Raleigh.
On a corner lot inside the Raleigh city limits, this home offers a rare combination of serenity, flexibility, and convenience. Mature trees surround the property, providing natural privacy from spring through fall, while a charming burbling waterfall feature in the front yard sets a peaceful tone the moment you arrive. A great single family home, but with the flexibility of a basement apartment.
The location is hard to beat. You're minutes from Lake Johnson and Kaplan Drive Park, making outdoor recreation an easy part of everyday life. Downtown Raleigh, NC State & Meredith Universities, and Cary are all close by, with quick access to I-440 and US-1/64 and 40. Most daily destinations — groceries, restaurants, shopping, healthcare, and entertainment — are within a 10 minute drive.
Inside, the home shines with thoughtful updates and exceptional flexibility. The two full bathrooms on the main level have been tastefully updated, and a brand-new roof (2025) provides peace of mind for years to come. A large two-car garage and basement workshop both add convenience and storage.
One of the home's standout features is the partially finished, walk-out basement, currently configured as a separate studio apartment complete with a full kitchen, private bath, and access to shared laundry. This space is ideal for guests, multigenerational living, extended stays, or potential rental or work-from-home use. The basement also includes an unfinished workshop area, perfect for hobbies, projects, or additional storage.
Base schools are very near, with Athens Drive High School just 0.8 miles away, and Dillard Drive Elementary and Middle Schools approximately 3.2 miles away.
Whether you're looking for a home close to everything Raleigh has to offer, space to work and create, or a property with built-in flexibility for modern living, 1341 Swallow Drive delivers a lifestyle that's both convenient and peaceful.
