609 Leonidas Court

Closed 4/28/14

This award winning home is a poster child for UNIVERSAL DESIGN and ACCESSIBLE HOUSING. It is a home for all ages and stages of life. See list of awards and available articles below.

Soaring ceilings, archways, stained glass accent windows, plant shelves, display niches all reflect the craftsmanship of Oakwood neighbor and Triangle home builder Jay Beaman.

The late Ron Mace, working with the Center for Universal Design at NC State, collaborated in the design as an architect, accessibility advocate and Oakwood neighbor.

Universal design features include the raised fireplace with gas logs and the practical placement of door handles, electrical outlets, plumbing fixtures and much more.

The bright kitchen opens to the back porch. Accessible features include special doors and snap-out cabinet fronts that provide roll-under knee space.

The trellis covered 12 x12 ft back porch, easily accessible from the driveway, could be enclosed as a screened porch or finished sunroom/studio subject to approval by the Raleigh Historic Development Commission (RHDC.org).

A large wrap-around porch overlooks a quiet cul-de-sac that was incorporated into the local Oakwood Historic district when the former site of the Fallon Florist nursery was developed for residential housing in the late 1980s.

Office, studio, guest room all are options for using the versatile, south facing, front bedroom that overlooks the cul-de-sac. Note the hardwood floors in all rooms except the baths and middle bedroom.

The MBR has a vaulted ceiling, hardwood floors and a large roll-in closet.

The spacious master bath has roll-in, curbless shower, garden tub, dual pedestal sinks and pocket door.

The middle bedroom opens to the large 2nd bath that is also Universal design.

The second bath that opens to the middle bedroom. The house includes a tankless hot water heater.

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.

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 a five minute walk away.

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.

During the warmer months family friendly neighborhood concerts are a gathering place on the lawn of the Mordecai Historic House and park.

The Station is the newest addition to the Person Street shops that include PieBird restaurant, Rapid Fitness, a music store & venue, small book store and a pharmacy/lunch counter dating back to 1910.

Yellow Dog Bread Company at the corner of Person and Franklin Streets across from Oak City Cycling.

Grab lunch and a old-fashioned vanilla coke at the Person Street Pharmacy that dates back to 1910.

At the nearby Seaboard Station you have your choice of six restaurants, a wine store, pet shop, ACE hardware, Logan nursery, specialty shops and more, all next door to William Peace University.

The Burning Coal Theater offers cutting edge plays and drama training in the adaptably renovated Murphey School at the corner of Person and Polk Streets.

The Governor?s Mansion is across Person St from Historic Oakwood.

Walk everywhere. This is the view looking south from the new NC AIA Design Center through the state government offices, Capitol, museums to the downtown office towers and condos.
