1913 Reaves Drive
Raleigh, NC 27608This petite 98-year-old bungalow packs a mighty punch far beyond its weight class in all four categories of authenticity, charm, quality and urban sass. A full-width front porch welcomes you into the front living room with an old-world fireplace with gorgeous surround and mantle. Behind that, the generously sized family room is open to the show-stopping newly renovated kitchen with soapstone counters and induction range. An office with half-bathroom is at the rear of the home. Two bedrooms with a shared full bath complete the home. As one would expect with a Five Points bungalow, the old hardwood floors are beautiful. As one would probably not expect, the backyard is very large and very deep. Adding even more value to this proposition, the list of things that have been done in the past five years to improve the home behind-the-scenes is extensive, to wit: a new sewer line from street to the house, waterproofing under the house with drain and sump pump, new Goodman HVAC and duct work, and backyard fencing. Together with the new kitchen, sellers have invested an additional $85,000 during their tenure.
