This charming historic home, dating back to the late 1920s, is full of original character and timeless appeal. From the beautiful wood floors throughout to the classic built-in phone shelf and elegant arched doorways, every detail reflects its vintage charm. The spacious living room centers around a stately stone fireplace with convenient gas logs. A versatile room with French doors can serve as an expansive dining area or a formal sitting room. You'll also enjoy a bright and inviting sunroom with access to a sprawling deck, and a cozy breakfast nook just off the kitchen. Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms and a cedar closet—perfect for keeping your finest clothing protected. Outside, this home truly shines. The welcoming front porch and convenient carport set the tone, but behind the privacy fence, you'll discover even more. Both gates open wide to accommodate boat or vehicle storage in the backyard. The tall, fully fenced yard offers privacy and seclusion. A detached two-car garage is a dream for any hobbyist—ideal for a workshop, home gym, extra storage, or car/boat space. Located in the desirable Fairmont neighborhood, you're within walking distance to The Village District's shops, restaurants, library, the beautiful Rose Garden, and of course NC State's campus. Hillsborough Street, Harris Teeter, medical clinics, and major bus lines are just moments away. Downtown Raleigh is but a few miles and Cary Crossroads is only a short drive. Investors, take note: the unbeatable walkability to the university makes this a smart buy!
