1209 N Blount St, Raleigh, NC 27604

Wake Up in Mordecai. Walk to Everything. Come Home to Room to Breathe! There's a particular kind of Saturday that only happens on this side of Raleigh. You step out the front door, and in the time it takes most people to find their car keys, you're holding a coffee at Yellow Dog, picking up a pastry for later, and deciding whether tonight is Stanbury, Crawford, or a lazy pizza night from Oakwood Pizza Box. Person Street Pharmacy is on your way home. The Shops at Seaboard Station is a short stroll. Downtown is close enough to skip the parking hunt entirely and either walk, grab a Lime, or a Lyft. Across the street is Mordecai Mini Park and playground, and steps away from that is Mordecai Spring City Park, Mordecai Historic Park, Halifax Community Center playground, and William Peace University with lots of open space to stroll. Then you come home to 1209 N. Blount, and that's where this house quietly separates itself from everything else in the neighborhood. Mordecai is beloved for its history, but a lot of that history comes with sloping floors and 1920s wiring. This home was built in 2007, so you get the tree-lined streets and front-porch culture without the surprises. Hardwoods run across the entire first floor. A gas fireplace anchors the living space for the first cold snap in December. And with 2,750 square feet, four bedrooms, and three and a half baths, there's enough room for the life you've been trying to squeeze into a smaller place. The oversized first-floor study with built-in bookcases is the room people remember. It's a real office, not a repurposed closet, for the days you work from home, or a music room, or the spot where the puzzle lives for three weeks straight. Upstairs facing Blount Street, the primary suite has a walk-in closet and an en-suite bath with shower, tub and double vanity sinks. And over the garage, there's a second full primary suite with its own bath and walk-in closet: the perfect setup for guests who stay a while, in-laws, an adult kid home for the summer, or a roommate who values a little separation. The brick courtyard out back is your private outdoor room. Hook up the grill to the natural gas line (no more propane runs), string some lights, and you have the spot where friends linger long after dinner is over. A two-car attached garage means no more circling the block in the rain and paying the City of Raleigh for paking, and the three-zone HVAC means nobody has to argue about the thermostat. The bones are as solid as the location: new roof in 2020, new HVAC and water heater in 2024, washer and dryer in the home. Everything you'd worry about in a rental has already been handled. Available October 1st. Come see it before the leaves turn; Blount Street in the fall is its own argument.
