This 1920s newcomer is nestled among the 8 solid brick homes build in the 1880s by Stanhope Pullen on a scenic block in the Oakwood Historic District. Walk everywhere including the recently opened Quality Grocery Store and caf?.
Double porches in back are a more recent addition. The porches need repair, as does much of the rest of the house. A Steve Smallman inspection report is available upon request.
The side entry hall leads back past the living and dining rooms to the downstairs full bath.
The upstairs hall provides a sitting area that catches the morning sun.
Back downstairs, this is the living room with three widows overlooking the front porch. <BR/>
Builtin bookshelves are part of the library/office located between the living and dining rooms.
The dining room opens into the kitchen at the back of the house.
You can use the kitchen today,update it tomorrow. The kitchen opens to the back porch. <BR/>
One MBR option is to use the back most laundry room as a master bath and closet. It already opens to the back bedroom and porch. Apparently once a second kitchen, it most recently was part of a two room workshop.
Ok, we said it needs work. This is the back bedroom looking into the laundry room that can also be a closet for the bedroom. Not shown is the wall where plaster had been removed as part its earlier use as a workshop. <BR/>
More MBR options. The smaller middle bedroom, with an existing closet, could either be a closet and/or bath for the front or back bedrooms. Note the tongue-in-groove ceilings found in several of the rooms. <BR/>
This is the view looking north from the upstairs back porch.
The compact 0.08 acre lot offer lots of opportunities for lawn, garden and patio. Recently removed, climbing ivy had covered much of the house and yard.
The front porch is nicely elevated.
It has charm...
? and a view. These are a couple of the solid brick Pullen houses across the street. Stanhope Pullen donated the land that is today NC State University.
The newly reopened Quality Grocery a few blocks away offers is a gathering place to eat and buy esential produce and essentials throughout the day. <BR/>
Walking through the nearby Oakwood Cemetery is walking through history. The rolling field just inside the gate is the site of picnics and winter-time sledding.
The Oakwood Common is a play area for toddlers and the site of the annual spring jazz brunch, 4th of July picnic and hot cider during the Candlelight Tour ion December. Canines can play at the nearby Oakwood Dog Park.
The Historic Oakwood neighborhood is an eclectic urban village seamlessly surrounded by unique urban neighbors. The value of property in Oakwood is increased by it status as a local Historic District, the first in NC.
Check back for updated picture. Walk downtown or to the Person St and Seaboard Station restaurants, galleries, bike shop, hardware store, pharmacy, bakery/coffee shop, nursery, urban farm, much more. <BR/>
The Governor?s Mansion is across Person St from Historic Oakwood.
This is the view, a short walk away, from the new HQ for the state association of architects that overlooks the green roofed state museum & legislative buildings, and the residential & office towers in downtown Raleigh.
Ah, but it is a jewel, with lots light , 6-over-1 shuttered windows, decorative fireplaces and a versatile floor plan.
Upstairs again, the hall leads past the three bedrooms to a full bath. There are options for adding a 2nd upstairs bath to create a true master suite. A floor plan is available.
