Home Description
Nestled in Forest Park, one of Raleigh's most historic and sought-after neighborhoods, this grand 1920s estate offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of the city's rich architectural past. Situated on a sprawling corner lot and a half, the home is introduced by a stunning grand staircase in the entryway, setting the tone for its timeless elegance.
Brimming with character and charm, this expansive residence features six graciously sized bedrooms and five and a half baths, including 2 main-level bedrooms and an inviting primary suite with its own fireplace and enclosed sitting area. Designed for both grandeur and comfort, the home showcases a library, a parlor, and elegant formal living and dining rooms, all bathed in natural light. A sunroom off the kitchen provides a tranquil space to enjoy morning coffee while overlooking the beautifully landscaped gardens. A separate apartment with a private entrance offers incredible flexibility for guests, rental income, or a home office. At the heart of the home, the BA Farrell-designed kitchen is a chef's dream, offering separate cooking zones and ingenious hidden storage solutions. The gardens feature specimen plantings selected by the former director of the Duke gardens.
With its exceptional walkability, this estate places you just steps from Wiley Elementary and St. Mary's School for Girls, as well as Raleigh's finest restaurants, galleries, parks, and shops. Its prime location also offers easy access to NCSU and the vibrant downtown area.
A true gem from a bygone era, this historic estate is ready for a visionary to restore its former grandeur while blending classic charm with modern convenience. An extraordinary opportunity awaits—imagine the possibilities!
