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, gracious proportions, 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 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 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.
