504 Holden Street
Raleigh, NC 27604A rare combination of historic character, walkability and incredible flexibility in the heart of Raleigh's Person Street district. This beautifully restored 3BR/2.5BA home lives comfortably as one connected residence, while its unique floor plan allows it to function as two distinct living areas whenever additional privacy is desired. The main living area features a full kitchen, open living and dining space, private primary suite with walk-in closet and newly renovated spa-style bath, half bath, laundry room, and glass doors opening to a large new deck and fenced backyard. The front living area offers two bedrooms, a full bath, living and dining space, kitchenette, front porch, and its own washer/dryer. The two areas connect through an interior vestibule with a sound-insulated door—leave it open for one cohesive 3-bedroom home or close it when you want additional privacy. Each area also has independent climate control. It's a floor plan that can evolve with you: enjoy the entire home every day, give extended-stay guests or visiting family their own comfortable space, create a private work or creative area, accommodate multigenerational living, or explore the potential to live in one area while generating income from the other. Thoughtfully updated since 2024 with a new full bathroom, kitchen countertops, front kitchenette and washer/dryer, tankless water heater, dual-zone HVAC controls, fresh paint throughout, and a large new rear deck. Just two blocks from Person Street restaurants, bars and coffee shops, a five-minute walk to Mordecai Historic Park, and steps from Historic Oakwood. Approximately 0.9 miles to Moore Square and downtown, 1 mile to Glenwood South, 1.4 miles to the Convention Center and 2 miles to NC State. One home when you want it. Two private living areas when you need them. A special historic Raleigh property designed to adapt to the way you live.
