Beautiful downtown home that balances the charm of Raleigh's history with the comforts of modern living. This stunning, renovated home, with updates in 2012 and again in 2019, offers the perfect blend of space, modern amenities, and convenience.
As you step inside, you'll immediately feel the warmth and character of this home. The 15-foot vaulted ceilings in the upstairs primary suite are awe-inspiring, creating an open and airy feeling. The large windows flood the room with natural light and offer seasonal views of downtown Raleigh's skyline and the Chavis Greenway, making it a peaceful retreat to start and end your day. The spa-like primary bathroom, complete with a beautiful clawfoot tub, walk-in shower with multiple fixtures, tiled floors, and high-end finishes, feels like your own private sanctuary.
Throughout the home, hardwood floors add a sense of timeless elegance, while the open and functional layout makes the space feel both expansive and comfortable. The kitchen, with its Viking ovens and gas range, and a spacious walk-in pantry, is a chef's dream, offering plenty of room to cook and entertain. Just off the kitchen is the mudroom, ideal for storing everything you need for your day-to-day life.
The first floor offers incredible flexibility with a guest bedroom or office, making it easy to work from home or host out-of-town guests. Whether you're working from the office or enjoying a quiet day, the home's thoughtful design provides the space and comfort you need. The living and dining areas, filled with natural light and designed for flow, are perfect for everyday living or entertaining friends and family.
One of the standout features of this home is the expansive backyard, one of the largest yards in downtown Raleigh, offering plenty of room for outdoor activities, gardening, or simply relaxing in the fresh air. Surrounded by historic cobblestones from downtown Raleigh, the garden area feels like an oasis. The private, screened-in back deck, accessible through 8-foot French doors, is the perfect place to unwind, with audio wired both inside and out to set the perfect mood for any occasion. Whether you're sipping your morning coffee or hosting friends for a weekend BBQ, the outdoor living space makes every day feel like a special occasion.
Beyond the property itself, the location couldn't be more ideal. Just one block away is Transfer Co. Food Hall, where you can grab a quick bite or spend the afternoon exploring the variety of food and drink options. Roshambo Bottle Shop and the Burial Outpost Brewery, ranked as one of the top craft breweries in the world, are also just a short stroll away. Little Native Coffee, a local favorite, is close by for your morning caffeine fix. And if you're looking to explore more of what Raleigh has to offer, a quick 6-minute walk will take you straight to Fayetteville Street, where you'll find shops, restaurants, and entertainment.
Living here means you're never far from the excitement of downtown Raleigh, but when you return home, you can escape to a quiet retreat that's all your own. The home is also wired for Google Fiber, ensuring that you're always connected whether you're working, streaming, or relaxing.
This property is located in the historic Olde East Raleigh and St. Petersburg neighborhoods, offering you the best of both worlds--a vibrant, growing community that's rich in history, yet steps away from the energy and amenities of downtown. There's even potential for future development, whether you're considering an above-garage ADU or exploring the possibilities that come with the expansive lot.
This home isn't just a place to live -- it's about enjoying the quiet of your private space, while being moments away from downtown. It's about finding a place where history, character, and modern convenience come together to create the perfect backdrop for your life.
