You can sit on the back deck of this unique home and escape to the sounds of the creek, birds, and nature, and almost forget that you are within a mile of the best dining and entertainment options in Raleigh. The large, beautiful lot is surrounded by wooded space and has remarkable privacy so close to the heart of the city. This 1935 classic has been updated in a modern fashion while maintaining the original Craftsman-style bungalow charm. It features gleaming hardwood floors, 9-foot ceilings, windows everywhere, and upgrades that include a second full bathroom and walk-in closet with natural light, a detached garage/wired workshop, basement workspace, copper gutters, rain barrels, EV charger, a Brazilian cherry wood deck, a new water heater with a 5+ year warranty, and it is hot-tub-ready with pad and exterior outlet. Enjoy the rocking chair front porch on a quiet street within walking distance to the Person Street District, with some of the best shops, restaurants, bakeries, and cafes in Raleigh; Seaboard Station; Brookside Bodega and The Optimist Coffee; grocery stores, plus all the festivals and fun that Downtown Raleigh has to offer.
