Welcome to 305 and 305½ Windel Drive - a rare North Hills compound with a lovingly updated main home and detached ADU with certificate of occupancy, separate address and proven Airbnb history. Furnishings are negotiable, including the turnkey ADU setup, creating a seamless option for relocating buyers, multigenerational households or those continuing the property's income-producing use. Since purchasing the property, the sellers have invested more than $200K in renovations, repairs and improvements, with all permitted work fully permitted, inspected and approved by the City of Raleigh. Above the detached two-car garage, 305½ Windel Drive is a fully equipped one-bedroom residence with private entrance that has operated for four years as a five-star Airbnb and ranks among the top 1% of Airbnb properties in Raleigh. The main home offers warmth, scale and flexibility, with a main-level owner's suite, large upstairs bonus room and generous gathering spaces throughout. Outdoor living extends from the covered front porch to the leafy bistro yard and generous courtyard, with mature landscaping, fruit trees, berry bushes, flowering gardens, two driveways with EV chargers, detached garage, storage and finished workshop. Live here as a gracious family home, multigenerational compound, work-from-home haven or residence with an established income-producing ADU. (ADU square footage is included in total square footage.)
