Originally constructed c.1926 and a contributing structure to the Boylan Heights National Register Historic District, the Allen Home is undergoing a true preservation-minded renovation in accordance with the National Secretary of the Interior's Standards and an expansion that beautifully balances architectural authenticity, timeless design, modern performance, and exceptionally curated finishes. Located within one of Downtown Raleigh's most beloved historic neighborhoods, enjoy walkable access to Dix Park, the Warehouse District, Heights House and Parlor, Rebus Works, Liz Kelly Pottery, Sauna House, Boulted Bread, parks, greenways, and the creative energy that defines Boylan Heights. The carefully designed addition--executed within historic district guidelines--preserves the integrity and scale of the original structure while expanding the home to over 3,340 SF of reimagined living space. The layout delivers expansive entertaining areas including an upstairs private balcony, dedicated office, scullery pantry with wine storage, expansive rear patio, valuable alley access, and a rare main-level en suite bedroom ideal for guests, multigenerational living, or flexible work-from-home needs. Beyond aesthetics, this is a comprehensive modernization distinguished by an extraordinary level of design intention. Selections and interiors thoughtfully curated by Monarch Property Co. reflect a timeless, preservation-sensitive approach that prioritizes beauty, functionality, and enduring quality over fleeting trends. Expect luxury Monogram appliances, a classic Kohler Whitehaven farmhouse sink, designer Delta Nicoli fixtures, layered brass and champagne bronze accents, marble details, handmade-inspired tilework, curated mosaics, frameless glass, and richly composed material palettes designed to complement the home's historic character while elevating modern living. Performance and sustainability were thoughtfully considered throughout. The renovation includes all-new systems, upgraded insulation strategies, smart home infrastructure, and extensive low-voltage prewiring for whole-home audio, AV, security, and future-ready connectivity. Early buyers may have a limited opportunity to personalize select finishes, cabinetry details, fixtures, technology integrations, appliances, tile, lighting, paint palettes, and other curated design selections depending upon contract timing and stage of construction. This is not a reproduction of a historic home--it is the authentic preservation of one, thoughtfully adapted for modern downtown living in one of Raleigh's most iconic neighborhoods.
