Welcome to 5425 and 5423 Live Oak Trail—an exceptional two-residence property in Forest Trail Estates offering flexibility for multigenerational living, short- or long-term rentals, or an owner-occupant seeking additional income. The extensively renovated main residence features 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, while the attached 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom ADU was thoughtfully converted from the property's original 1989 barn. Together, the residences showcase vaulted ceilings, elevated design, luxury finishes, and distinctive details, including reclaimed barnwood incorporated into the ADU. Each residence has completely separate utilities and its own septic system, allowing them to function independently. More than $425,000 was invested in the 2023-2024 transformation, with work permitted through the City of Raleigh. Major improvements include new plumbing in both residences, new roofs, new septic systems, new water heaters, updated electrical systems, crawl-space insulation and vapor barrier, new sod and landscaping, and much more. Located in one of Raleigh's most convenient areas, the property offers easy access to RDU International Airport, downtown Raleigh, RTP, shopping, dining, and major highways. Live in one residence while renting the other, accommodate extended family, or operate both as income-producing properties. No HOA. See the photographs and MLS documents for the complete list of improvements.
