1205 Watauga Street
Raleigh, NC 27604Set on a quiet street in Mordecai, this classic 1940s brick home presents a compelling opportunity in one of Raleigh's most loved neighborhoods. Just minutes from Person Street and approximately 1.5 miles from Downtown Raleigh, the location alone makes this one worth a closer look. The one-level layout offers three bedrooms, original hardwood floors throughout most of the home, and a large eat-in kitchen with direct access to a deck and flat backyard with a storage shed. A brick exterior, a practical floor plan, and a usable lot create a solid foundation for future improvements and long-term value. Life here naturally extends into the neighborhood, from coffee at Optimist to time at Oakwood Dog Park, and relaxed evenings along Person Street. Nearby options include everything from a casual slice at Oakwood Pizza Box to neighborhood favorites like Standard Beer and exceptional occasion dining at Crawford and Son. Offered as is, this home is well-suited for someone who values character, location, and the opportunity to shape a home over time in a neighborhood that consistently rewards thoughtful investment.
