504 Cleveland Street

Closed 6/15/17

Almost one of a kind. This sensitively restored 1917 Craftsman house with 6/6 windows sits on a quiet, one-block long, dead end street in the Glenwood-Brooklyn Streetside Historic Overlay District.

Bright and open describes the eat-in kitchen and breakfast/sun room with a wall of windows overlooking the back yard.

The level 0.14 acre lot provides off street parking in front and a fenced, level lot in back.

Walk everywhere. Fletcher Park is a block away. Glenwood South, Five Points, Cameron Village are a little further, each offering restaurants, shops, much more.

A National Historic District is overlaid by a local “streetside” historic district which both celebrates and helps preserve the unique character of the neighborhood that was first developed in 1905.

The house is named after Duncan L. Johnson who was a railroad yard master. Go to RHDC.org for more history and historic district guidelines.

The ageless character includes the transom window and French doors.

Nice sight lines. Note the built-in bookshelves and the glimpse of the wall of windows at the very back of the house.

This is the versatile middle room that can be a book-lined den/library or dining room or both.

More built-in shelves. The two fireplaces are decorative.

The modern kitchen includes generous counter space, a double sink and a gas oven/range.

Note the butler’s pantry and extensive cabinetry.

The kitchen area includes an separate office and/or pantry room near the back door (not visible here).

The side entry hall leads back to a daylight laundry/utility room at the foot of the handsome stairs.

A room with a view. The Raleigh skyline is to the south. A Blue Ridge mountain mural is painted on the north wall of the front bedroom. No surprise, the sellers have relocated to the NC mountains.

The back bedroom. Most interior walls are freshly painted.

The upstairs full bath has tile floors and bath/shower surround.

The downstairs full bath has a refinished clawfoot tub with a curtain ring and a tile surround.

Tapered brick pillars, a diamond shaped vent, an engaged front porch, weatherboard siding below and wood shingle siding above, together these give the house a unique and pleasing presence.

The exterior was repainted in 2014. The house was extensively renovated in 2003 and includes dual zoned gas heat/AC. Enjoy the patio and/or add a larger deck outside the wall of windows.

The large, daylight, walk-out basement provides plenty of flex space.
