A treasure from the past this 1933 home remains as one of the last original homes in this Raleigh neighborhood. Resting atop a prime location the home is slightly larger than 1000sqft; a cozy little bungalow with a mineral studded face populated by locally sourced geology. Parquet flooring greets you upon entry as the structure opens into the family room and dining area. The smooth ceilings, recessed lighting and abundant windows flood the house with sunlight that can be softened with the installed plantation shutters. In addition the ceiling contains wired speakers for music. A small fireplace in the family room brings additional heat and ambiance provided by the wood burning stove. The kitchen provides all the necessities in a simple package with SS refrigerator, natural gas stove and a dishwasher. Serviced by a single bathroom, the primary bedroom is nearly 250 sq ft, a second bedroom well over 100 sq ft. The primary bedroom also includes a mineral studded rock wall original to the main structure with additional access to the great outdoors; opening to the sunlit front patio. Beneath the home lies a sizeable cellar with a heating unit, refrigerator, washer and dryer. The entire house is often shaded by the canopy of the old oak in the side yard and is heated by a newer 2022 furnace. 2609 Davis St. offers one an elegant simplicity in a home that has stood for nearly 100 years. Located inside the inner belt line it is protected by a fire station less than a block away. It also stands a short walk away from restaurants and the neighborhood church. Immediately adjacent to Oberlin Rd. you will find shopping nearby, not only with historic Five Points but also the affluent Village District. Downtown Raleigh is a few short miles away as well as NC State's main campus. Also nearby is Crabtree Valley Mall, access to the 440 belt line, I-40 and the Farmer's Market!
