Thoughtfully updated over time, the home features open living spaces, hardwood floors throughout, a stylish, functional kitchen with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, new AC (2026) and a newer roof (2024).

A rare two-car garage and existing elevator shaft add even more possibility, including potential adaptation for multi-generational living (Note: the built-in elevator has not been used for several decades, but the space remains for a future owner to evaluate and reimagine). Come explore the possibilities of this unique property in an unbeatable Raleigh location.
