Property Description
This beautifully renovated home in downtown Raleigh blends historic charm with modern living. Designed by Maurer Architecture and updated in 2012 and 2019, it offers a spacious, open layout with high-end finishes throughout.
The upstairs primary suite features 15-foot vaulted ceilings and large windows that fill the room with natural light, offering views of the downtown skyline and Chavis Greenway. The luxurious primary bathroom includes a clawfoot tub, walk-in shower with multiple fixtures, and elegant tilework, creating a spa-like retreat.
Hardwood floors throughout add timeless elegance, and the open layout creates a seamless flow between spaces. The chef's kitchen is equipped with Viking ovens, a gas range, and a spacious walk-in pantry—perfect for both cooking and entertaining. The adjacent mudroom offers practical storage for daily needs.
The first floor includes a flexible guest bedroom or office, ideal for working from home or hosting visitors. The living and dining areas are filled with natural light and are designed for effortless flow, perfect for casual living or entertaining.
The expansive backyard, one of the largest in downtown Raleigh, offers plenty of space for outdoor activities or relaxing. A screened-in back deck, designed by Ashley Morris, provides a tranquil space to unwind, with wired audio inside and out to set the perfect mood.
Located just one block from Transfer Co. Food Hall, you'll enjoy easy access to a variety of food and drink options. Roshambo Bottle Shop, Raleigh Wine Shop, Burial Outpost Brewery, and Little Native Coffee are also nearby. A short 5-minute walk takes you to City Market and Fayetteville Street, where you can explore shops, restaurants, and entertainment.
Situated in the historic Olde East Raleigh and St. Petersburg neighborhoods, this home combines the vibrancy of a growing community with the convenience of downtown living. The large lot also offers potential for future development, such as an above-garage ADU.
This home is more than just a place to live—it's a rare opportunity to enjoy historic charm, modern amenities, and an unbeatable downtown location.
