1309 Legend Road · Raleigh, NC 27603

This sold listing offers a charming brick exterior and beautifully refinished original hardwood floors, along with a newly updated kitchen and detached garage workshop. However, it provides significantly less living space than 1309 Legend Road, which offers over 300 additional square feet and a modern layout with fresh flooring throughout. While this home commanded a higher price per square foot due to its smaller footprint and brick construction, 1309 Legend Road provides more overall usable space for the money.

Located within the same neighborhood, this sold listing features refreshed paint, updated flooring, and a covered carport, but closed at a higher price despite having less square footage. 1309 Legend Road gives you more interior room to spread out, newer quartz surfaces in the kitchen, and a slightly larger lot. Because both properties share similar ages and cosmetic refresh levels, the extra living space at a lower purchase price stands out.

This sold listing commanded a noticeable premium largely because of its separate 690-square-foot detached accessory dwelling unit and four garage spaces. However, inside the main residence, the kitchen and common living areas show dated wood cabinets, parquet flooring, and wall AC units that could use modernization. In contrast, 1309 Legend Road features a cleaner, cohesive interior renovation with updated quartz counters and fresh vinyl plank flooring, making it much more turnkey for a buyer who does not need an extra outbuilding.
