Longview Gardens, a national historic district, was inspired by the City Beautiful Movement, with gently rolling hills, lakes, a Donald Ross designed golf course and curvilinear streets flanking a parkway, all just over a mile from downtown.
Clarence Poe, editor of Progressive Farmer magazine, began developing what he called Raleighs best planned suburb in 1928, featuring the work of several notable architects and landscape architects. See Docs for history. <BR/>
Located on 0.72 scenic acres, this was the personal home. of the builder, Luther Faison and his wife Catherine. Their custom touches include 6 bedrooms, 3 fireplaces, 3 full and 3 half baths, cedar closet and closets with built-in shelves.
The Library, with its own closet, is conveniently adjacent to the welcoming foyer.
A wall of windows in the Family Room offers a peaceful wooded view overlooking a new deck and the spacious, fenced back yard. Windows throughout the house were replaced in an earlier renovation.
Located where it should be, the Family Room, with raised hearth and fireplace, is adjacent to the kitchen and breakfast room.
Double ovens, solid surface counters, new tile floors are part of the updated kitchen.
The Sun Porch opens to the new deck overlooking the landscaped and fenced back yard, part of the 0.72 acre, gently sloping lot.
Just a steps away from the Kitchen and Sun Porch, the bright, spacious Laundry Room also can serve as a Pantry and Utility Room.
The 1st floor Master Bedroom is big, bright and sassy with a vintage tile bath room and 2 closets.
A built-in dressing table is an original part of the charming and functional walk-in closet in the Master Bedroom.
Bright and cheery, the updated Master Bath includes vintage tile and update fixtures.
Your Downton Abby English cousins would appreciate the convenience of the private half baths found in each of the other two 1st floor bedrooms.
This is the second downstairs bedroom with a private half bath.
Walk-in closets with built-in shelves are found in each of the downstairs bedrooms.
One of three upstairs bedrooms, the biggest has a non-functional exterior door that once led to exterior stairs that were later removed.
Knee walls and ceiling angles add interest to the all-purpose room upstairs with a large closet and eve-storage. Shown as a 6th Bedroom, it could be a part of an upstairs in-law suite or efficiency apt with a possible exterior entrance.
The upstairs walk-in attic provides lots of storage.
Start your own rock band or build a boat in either the oversized 2 car garage or the 2,579 sqft basement.
A covered patio under the Sun Porch opens through double-doors into the lower level Den. This and the partially finished connecting spaces could be reconfigured as in-law suite or efficiency apt with the addition of a lower level bath and/or kitchen.
Just add a pool table or two to the huge Den that in the 1960s included a once-functional dumbwaiter. The brick fireplace has a raised hearth and space for a rotisserie cooker.
The current 2013 renovation by Sanford and Brewer updates an earlier renovation made when they purchased the property in 2006 from the Methodist Home Children, the owners from 1982 to 2006.
See mls Documents for map and history of Longview Gardens. Go on line for information about the Donald Ross designed Raleigh Country Club.
As a national historic district, contributing structures may be eligible for NC rehab tax credits. Exterior changes are not subject to RHDC approval as is required in a local historic district. More info at RHDC.
Sensitively restored by Jo Anne Sanford and Billy Brewer, the bright open floor plan is equal or superior to most homes being built today. See Docs for floor plan.
