Raleigh, NC 27616LOCATION & OPPORTUNITY! The Oak Forest Estates neighborhood is lined with beautiful mature trees and spacious plots. The curb appeal begins with a tremendous magnolia tree lining the property on Dogwood Drive. Up the wraparound driveway into the large open-air carport with ample parking capabilities. Once through the front door you step on to red oak hardwood floors through most of the main and upper level. The living room features a picturesque window and a cast-iron wood burning fireplace stove. Toward the back of the main level is the kitchen complete with 1960's General Electric range and the original cabinetry. The swinging wood kitchen door takes you into the formal and open dining room. Up the stairs to three bedrooms and two full baths. The original bathrooms feature period pink and green tile. Down the stairs brings you to the mostly unfinished workshop space that includes a separate entrance, workbench, shelving, private office, and a convertible bedroom/playroom. The fenced backyard features several outbuildings as well as a large work area. Less than a minutes drive takes you to Capital Blvd with convenient access to shopping, restaurants, schools, Triangle Town Center and 401. This is a GEM for motivated buyers.
