3210 Merriman Ave, Raleigh, NC 27607

A historic gem situated close to Village District and Downtown Raleigh, this classic Cape Cod pulls your heartstrings from first glance. The inlaid brick path leads to a home worth treasuring. Natural light abounds thanks to high ceilings and arched doorways. A true highlight is the *glorious* sunroom which opens to a brick patio and the backyard. And speaking of that backyard... it is fenced, private, and unusually large for the area (hello, double lot!).There's room for all with 4 beds, 4 full baths, and a bonus space. The first floor primary suite has dual closets and a lovely office nook with french doors to the backyard. There's another generously-sized bedroom on the first floor and a full hall bath. Upstairs is a large bonus space, two more bedrooms, and a full bath. There is also potential to expand, thanks to the >1,700 sqft sunny daylight basement. It is already climate controlled and currently features a full bath, workout space, utility room, and ample flex spaces. Thanks to its own outside entrance, it could easily be finished to serve as an in-law suite or a rental. Classic details like crown moulding, brick fireplace, cast iron tub, (newly refinished!) hardwoods, and plantation shutters are balanced with thoughtful updates. There's fresh paint throughout the entire home, updated lighting, refinished kitchen cabinetry, new appliances, and a closet was added to convert a bonus space to a proper 4th bedroom. Prior owners added a large parking pad off the shared driveway discreetly behind the home. Here's your chance to own a piece of classic Raleigh.
