Property Description
Located in Raleigh's historic Forest Park, this classic 1922 Dutch Colonial Revival blends timeless architecture with comfortable everyday living. Just moments from the Village District, downtown Raleigh, NC State University, and Pullen Park, it offers the rare opportunity to enjoy one of Raleigh's most walkable and enduring historic neighborhoods. A welcoming foyer opens to a classic center-hall floor plan. Formal living and dining rooms, high ceilings, well-proportioned rooms, and refinished hardwood floors (2025) showcase the home's enduring craftsmanship. The kitchen features painted white raised-panel cabinetry, granite countertops, and a classic white subway tile backsplash. It opens to the family room, creating comfortable daily living spaces that complement the home's historic character. A sunroom, screened porch, and two brick patios provide inviting outdoor spaces to relax, entertain, and enjoy the changing seasons. Upstairs, the primary suite features an ensuite bath. Two spacious secondary bedrooms, a hall bath, second-floor laundry, and a former sleeping porch now serving as a studio/office complete the second floor. A quaint staircase leads to a cozy space tucked beneath the roofline, ideal for media, hobbies, or a quiet retreat. A new second-floor HVAC system (June 2026) provides added comfort and peace of mind. Home to what many consider the best alley in Forest Park, the property offers abundant off-street parking—a highly sought-after feature in Raleigh's historic neighborhoods. The partially fenced backyard includes a garden shed.
