Set on a 0.42-acre double lot among mature trees, its architectural significance, impressive updates, and expansive grounds create an extraordinary opportunity to enjoy the very best of inside-the-Beltline living. From the moment you arrive, vibrant camellias frame the front garden and lead to a graceful stone-arched entry, creating a storybook welcome. The front porch offers an idyllic spot to savor quiet mornings, unwind in the evening, or connect with neighbors ~a serene vantage point to enjoy one of Raleigh's most iconic neighborhoods. Inside, classic craftsmanship blends seamlessly with modern comfort. The living room, anchored by a striking fireplace, offers warmth, character, and a natural gathering space. A light-filled formal dining room, framed by elegant French doors, connects the living and kitchen areas--perfect for entertaining or daily meals. The classically updated kitchen features stone countertops, quality wood cabinetry with built-in drawers, and a charming alcove ideal for a breakfast nook or coffee bar.

The finished walk-out lower level adds substantial living space, styled with with newly sealed concrete floors and walk-out access to a deck overlooking the expansive backyard. Imagine a private studio, media room, home gym, creative workspace, or a ''man cave/ she-shed'' style retreat. With direct access to the backyard and room to expand or reconfigure, it provides extraordinary potential for future growth. Stepping out back, the tree-lined backyard amplifies the home's possibilities. Whether you envision a homestead-style garden, a stunning outdoor entertaining oasis, or taking full advantage of the yard's generous space to relax and connect with nature, this property offers remarkable flexibility. There's even potential to add an accessory dwelling unit or expand the home to suit your future needs. Established garden beds and a rainwater collection system enhance sustainability while harmonizing with the serene, tree-lined setting. A tuck-under garage and private driveway provide convenient off-street parking and storage. Recent system updates--including a newer roof (2023), HVAC (2025), water heater (2023), added insulation, and newer, double-paned windows throughout--showcase the owner's commitment to maintaining the home's systems with care and integrity, ensuring long-term comfort and livability.
