Quintessential Colonial Traditional in Raleigh

Renee Hillman on September 28, 2016

Freshly arrived on the local market, this spacious Colonial Traditional home located in Raleigh’s mature Medfield Estates neighborhood is going to be on a lot of must-see lists. It is like the “ultimate peanut butter and jelly sandwich” with an ideal location that is in the midst of everything (literally just minutes from both Raleigh and Cary) plus – and this is a big plus – no city taxes!

Outside, this home features that Southern charm curb appeal that impresses right from the first look. Inside, the shine and polish continue with fresh paint and new carpet throughout. Each of the three bedrooms is generously sized with equally-impressive closets that are hard to find in this age home. The upgrades continue with Brazilian Cherry floors, formal spaces, built-ins, and more.

Transition into the fenced backyard and the limitless possibilities for the Carolina outdoor living this area is known for. Ever dreamed of having a basketball court right in your own backyard? You could do it here!

In the area, you’ll find convenient access to lots of amenities like grocery stores, PNC Arena and Carter-Finley Stadium, popular dining options like Backyard Bistro and Bella Monica, and quick access to I-40 and Wade Avenue.

Renee Hillman on August 10, 2016

Raleigh, NC – Hillman Real Estate Group, a team of RE/MAX One Realty led by industry veteran Renée Hillman, is celebrating its recent nod in Indy Week’s annual “Best of the Triangle”, in which Renée Hillman was named as the “Best REALTOR® in Wake County”.

The 2016 collection, which according to Indy Week, included “more than six hundred thousand votes from more than twenty thousand voters in more than three hundred categories”, was compiled during two rounds of nominations and voting earlier this year. The list of winners, which was published in June, is said to “reflect the choices of a larger percentage of [our] readers than ever before”, according to Indy Week’s Jeffrey C. Billman.

“Over 80% of our business is driven by repeat clients,” says Hillman, who is a 37 year resident of North Carolina and a Triangle resident since 1990, adding that “those same repeat clients have no hesitation about recommending our team and our high-quality services to their friends, family, and co-workers often.” In addition to having a deep book of satisfied clients from transactions past, Hillman beams with pride when talking about Hillman Real Estate Group’s exclusive “Coming Soon” listing and marketing program that keeps for sale listings’ time on the market low and often nets clients multiple offers and over-list-price closings.

Renee Hillman on June 17, 2016

This hard-to-find, custom-built ranch home is coming to the market in Raleigh in July – and with its long list of upgrades and amenities, it’s not going to last long… especially with a tax bill that’s nearly half of what you’ll find inside city limits.

You’ll enjoy lots of privacy and limited traffic as this home backs to a buffering natural area and is set generously away from the road, as well as nestled nicely within the Whitehart neighborhood located just off Ten-Ten Road. This great address puts you conveniently near Crossroads Plaza, Millpond Village, Waverly Place, and more.

Inside, there’s an open floor plan that includes a vaulted family room, a formal dining room, and a white kitchen with efficient design, breakfast room, and bay window. In the master bedroom, there’s a unique find: a double-sided fireplace! Not to mention, the master retreat also includes double tray ceilings, a nice master bathroom with dual vanities, a walk-in closet, and a relaxing soaking tub.

The split ranch layout offers guest rooms on the other side of the house and room for expansion if needed.

The all seasons room is perfect for enjoying the beautiful North Carolina view!

Want to add even more to this great find? There is fresh paint and new carpet throughout, but the unfinished attic offers unlimited potential for even more upgrades.
