The family...Nestled on a quiet street in the desirable historic Glenwood-Brooklyn neighborhood, this quintessential Raleigh Craftsman Four-Square, built in 1915, sits proudly high on the street and is truly one of a kind—brimming with charm and character. A large rocking-chair front porch welcomes you into a home where historic craftsmanship shines, from the original hardwood floors throughout to the 10-foot ceilings on the main floor and elegant transom windows that flood the space with natural light.

The family room is anchored by a striking stone fireplace, creating a warm and inviting gathering space, while the kitchen showcases rare historic character with its beautifully preserved stamped tin ceiling tiles and adjoining butler's pantry. The thoughtfully designed layout includes four spacious bedrooms, a large second-floor laundry room, a dedicated office with custom built-in cabinetry, and a large dining room ideal for both hosting and everyday living.

Step outside to a large, fully fenced backyard, perfect for relaxing or entertaining, complemented by a generous garage with alley access, offering space for one car plus ample storage—an exceptional find in this historic neighborhood. A partial, unfinished basement provides additional flexibility, ideal for a workshop or extra storage.

Ideally located just moments from grocery stores, acclaimed restaurants, Fletcher Park, and an easy walk to downtown Raleigh, this home offers the perfect blend of quiet residential living and vibrant urban convenience.

This exceptional historic home blends timeless character, thoughtful space, and an unbeatable location—a rare opportunity to own a true piece of Raleigh history.
