Raleigh, NC 27604Offered for the first time since it was built in 1953, this National Homes bungalow in Mordecai Place is larger than it looks. A 1970s two-story addition in back holds a main-floor primary bedroom with en-suite bath and prefinished hardwoods, and above it, up a spiral stair, a loft with a cedar-lined walk-in closet, utility sink and a balcony over the fenced backyard. Up front, the original house has its 1953 hardwoods in the living room, plus a second bedroom, an office and a second full bath. Cedar siding. The costly systems are done: American Standard gas pack (2025), roof a few years old, 14kW Generac whole-house generator. The deep 0.18-acre lot has mature plantings, a pear tree, grapevine and garden shed, with room to garden or expand. Bus stop half a block; restaurants and coffee a 10-15 minute walk. Live in and update over time, rent it, or reimagine it in an established neighborhood inside the Beltline, minutes from downtown. Take the virtual tour, then book your showing.
