The kitchen serves as the heart of the home, featuring granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, generous cabinetry, and a large island overlooking the living and dining areas—perfect for gathering with family and friends. Major improvements provide peace of mind, including new siding and a full roof replacement completed in 2021-2022, an HVAC system installed in 2017, and a crawlspace dehumidifier and vapor barrier added in 2018. A former back porch was enclosed to create a functional mudroom and laundry area, adding valuable everyday convenience. Step outside and enjoy a backyard designed for entertaining and relaxation. A spacious paver patio, added in 2023, creates the perfect setting for outdoor dining and summer evenings, while the storage shed and newly installed privacy fence (2025) add both functionality and charm. From the inviting front porch to the thoughtfully updated interior and outdoor living spaces, 603 E Cabarrus Street offers a rare opportunity to enjoy downtown Raleigh living while still having the comfort and feel of a private retreat.
