Located in one of Downtown Raleigh's best, most walkable neighborhoods, this cozy house is the perfect place to enjoy the Oak City. With 1 bed/bath, outdoor space and an office, this house is ideal for a couple, a young family, or someone new to Raleigh who wants to get to know the area before settling on where to live.
The house is bright with lots of natural light. The bedroom (10'x12') features a large closet and morning light. The other bedroom (10'x10') is set up as an office equipped with an electric sit/stand desk. There is a primary bed and bath that the tenant will not have access to.
A paved driveway has space for off-street parking for two cars. Ample free street parking is also available. The front porch offers space to sit and sip a morning coffee in the shade, while the back deck has a table and chairs for dining al fresco.
The Neighborhood:
The house is located very close to downtown (about a 15 min walk) in a residential neighborhood on the outskirts of historic Oakwood. It's a short walk to Oakwood Cemetery, Marbles Kids Museum, the State Capital, Moore Square, the Museum of History and the Museum of Natural Sciences, plus all the bars, restaurants and shops downtown has to offer. Lane Street Park is just one block away, offering a big and little kids playground, basketball court and green space. The house is easily accessible to I-40 and 440/Beltline. And for the travel nurses, this house is just a 6 minute drive to Wake Med hospital!
