907 Johnson Street
Raleigh, NC 27605There is something deeply reassuring about a 1936 brick house. On one of Forest Park's most established blocks, 907 West Johnson Street carries four bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms with assurance and ease. The home presents as an enduring framework that has moved through nearly a century of Raleigh's evolution. With 2,613 square feet of finished living space, it offers a compelling foundation for a thoughtfully modern next chapter. Inside, natural light takes center stage, moving freely across all levels and highlighting the original hardwoods and millwork. At its center, back-to-back fireplaces form a sculptural spine, structuring circulation and balance, equally suited to quiet evenings or hosting friends after a downtown festival or parade. The eat-in kitchen is framed by a bay-style window that draws in light throughout the day and opens directly onto the deck, reinforcing its role as a true center of daily life. The plan feels remarkably prescient. Every bedroom includes a walk-in closet, and the existing layout supports the future creation of a more substantial primary suite. One rear bedroom opens to a private upper balcony, transitioning naturally to an expansive terrace overlooking a deep, secluded yard. Below, an almost 1000 square-foot conditioned basement adds depth to the story. Climate-controlled and expansive, it offers space to shape over time, fitness studio, media room, workshop, or something entirely your own. Parks and tree-lined sidewalks shape the daily rhythm here, while Forest Park's social cadence, seasonal gatherings and shared traditions, gives the neighborhood its enduring pull. It's a community defined by architectural character and supported by sought-after school assignments. Beyond the block, the city opens naturally. The Village District offers a polished approach to shopping and errands, Smoky Hollow sets the tone for evenings out, and downtown Raleigh supplies festivals, parades, and cultural momentum throughout the year, with museums and galleries in the Warehouse District close at hand. Forest Park remains the constant, a setting that values history, connection, and continues to define Inside the Beltline living at its best.
