1913 Glenwood Avenue
Raleigh, NC 27608In the heart of Bloomsbury, this inviting home blends classic architecture with thoughtful updates; every room carries a sense of warmth and light. Hardwood floors anchor the main level; crown molding, built-ins, and a transom window add depth and character that speak to its era. The kitchen feels bright and personal; a glass-block wall filters soft daylight across the space, while a built-in banquette creates the perfect spot for casual meals. Crystal-style knobs and quality appliances add polish without losing charm. Bathrooms feature tile floors, medicine cabinets, and clever storage; window treatments and neighborhood-style shutters throughout the home provide both comfort and cohesion. Step outside to a fully fenced backyard where a powered tree house conveys; it's a playful, unexpected touch that makes the home feel alive. Also, downstairs are more unexpected surprises. A family room, den, playroom, laundry, bedroom, kitchenette, half bath, large closets, tool room and storage create endless options. Lower level is not counted in square footage since there is no HVAC. Although it stays very comfortable, sellers use space heaters if needed. Adding mini-splits would almost double the home's square footage. With a new A/C installed in June 2025, double driveway for parking and proximity to Five Points, this Bloomsbury gem balances colorful character, convenience, and space in equal measure.
