315 Oakwood Avenue
Raleigh, NC 27601Live the legacy of Raleigh's storied past at the Miriam Carson Williams House, c.1883, in the heart of Historic Oakwood. Built for North Carolina's first female bank president, this once Victorian side-hall-plan home is rich in character and heritage. In or about 1920 the original structure was enhanced with Charleston-style stacked covered front porches—perfect for enjoying Raleigh's southern charm. Inside the home you'll find incredible heart-pine flooring, high ceilings, impressive millwork, eye-catching lighting, an exquisitely-updated kitchen with Thermador appliances including a full-size wine refrigerator, and two beautifully-updated baths with marble countertops and flooring, one with a classic clawfoot tub. The home also features a dedicated office, mirror-image living rooms, and four fireplaces that add warmth and charm throughout. Through the French doors at the back of the house, step into a living work of art where nature's beauty and thoughtful design come together in perfect harmony. And with some of Raleigh's best restaurants, coffee shops, and bakeries just a short stroll away, this is historic living at its finest—perfectly nestled in one of the city's most treasured neighborhoods.
