Closed 7/24/14
This Queen Anne/Colonial Hybrid home is nestled in the heart of historic Boylan Heights, one of Raleighs earliest planned neighborhoods with curvilinear streets on a bluff overlooking the downtown center.
A rare find. Screened porches up and down overlook a 0.15 acre lot with spacious side and back yard and rear alley access.
Nice sight lines. The spacious side halls open onto a back porch up and down. This is the view as you enter from the big front porch.
[CHECK FOR MORE PROSE AND PICS TO BE ADDED.]
Great flow. Walk front to back using the hall or the doors that connect the rooms. This is the view looking back from the front living room to the kitchen. The original mantel has been exquisitely restored by the sellers. Fire places are decorative.
More versatility. The 16x16 ft middle room currently a family room could be a formal dining room.
The view looking back to the kitchen.
The sellers added a dry variation of a butlers pantry between the family/dining room and the kitchen.
Sassy, quirky, retro, whatever, the eat-in kitchen has personality. Update may be eligible for current NC rehab tax credits which will expire at the end of the year.
The kitchen opens to the back corner screened porch which is a great gathering space today and offers options for future expansion tomorrow..
A nice place to start and finish the day.
More nice sight lines looking toward the two back porches.
The sitting area at the end of the upstairs hall is another get-away with practical built-in shelves.
Another nice get-a-way, the upstairs screened porch.
The back bedroom has windows on three sides

Additional shelves are located at the back of the upstairs hall just outside the upstairs full bath. NC rehab tax credits may also be available for updating existing baths and adding baths within the existing footprint of the house.
The small office/nursery at the front of the upstairs hall could become a 2nd upstairs full bath.
MBR option. The new upstairs bath could be opened to the front bedroom making it a true master suite.
Another MBR option. The 16x16 ft middle bedroom could be opened to the existing bath which would need to be remodeled.
The annual December Boylan Heights Art Walk features juried artists who present their works on these and the other porches along this and other blocks.
This is the view from the Boylan Bridge overlooking downtown Raleigh, home to Red Hat software and a newly renovated warehouse offices of Citrix. Neighbors line the bridge each year with their Halloween pumpkins.
Google Boylan Heights to visit the neighborhood web site. The value of homes in Boylan Heights is increased by its status a local historic district requiring approval of exterior changes and improvements.
Versatile floor plan. The porch at the end of the hall also opens to the kitchen.
