Raleigh, NC 27608Charming and thoughtfully updated 1930s cottage in a prime Inside the Beltline location between Five Points and North Hills. Offering approximately 2,700 square feet with 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, this home combines historic character with modern livability. A rare feature set for this area includes a first-floor primary suite, garage, and flat, usable lot. The curb appeal is immediate with easy-to-maintain landscaping, copper-roofed entry and timeless architectural character. Set within an established neighborhood defined by tree-lined streets, classic homes, and everyday charm--right down to door-delivered mail. Inside, the historic home meets today's expectations with a well-appointed kitchen, including Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, quartz counters with marble-tile backsplashes, a built-in dog station, and water connections for a coffee machine. A dedicated office with custom built-ins provides a functional work-from-home space, while two gas fireplaces and comfortable living areas support both daily living and entertaining.

Extensive system upgrades enhance comfort, efficiency, and peace of mind, including Lutron smart lighting, in-ceiling speakers with Sonos, in-ground smart irrigation, motorized shades, a whole-house standby generator, Level 2 EV charger, main-floor humidification, and HVAC systems replaced in 2024. Additional highlights include a climate-controlled basement offering valuable storage flexibility, along with a detached potting shed. A rare opportunity to own a character-rich home with a highly functional layout in one of Raleigh's most desirable ITB locations.
