HOME TOUR INFORMATION

Ready to Tour This Home? Let's Make It Count.

Welcome! We're so glad you found us.

We don't believe in simply unlocking doors. We believe in opening the door to the right home.

Before requesting a home tour, please contact us for a brief conversation. Whether you're looking for a home for rent or a home to purchase, we'll answer your questions, explain the showing process, and help determine whether this property is the right fit for your needs. We believe your time is valuable, and a little planning upfront helps create a smoother, more enjoyable experience for everyone.

Interested in one of our rental properties? Pre-screening is required before a showing can be scheduled. It's never about creating extra steps. It's about making sure you understand the qualification requirements, have your questions answered, and can tour the home with confidence. Our goal is for every showing to be intentional, informative, and worthwhile.

Real estate is personal, and we believe every conversation should be too.

Whether you're leasing a home or buying a home, you'll find a friendly team committed to clear communication, honest guidance, and exceptional service from your first conversation through move-in or closing day.

A quick note about Sundays: Our office is closed so our team can unplug and spend time with their families. If you already have a confirmed Sunday showing, don't worry. We'll still be available to provide property access and assist with anything you need during your scheduled tour.

We're not simply opening a door. We're helping you open the door to your next chapter.

Now for the fun part. Let's find you a home you'll truly love calling your own. We can't wait to meet you!

Property Description

Your sunroom is calling! There are homes you walk into, and then there are homes that immediately tell you a story. This 1929 Raleigh home does the latter from the moment you step into its extraordinary sunroom. Stretching across the entire width of the house, the sunroom is one of its defining architectural features. Filled with windows and generous in proportion, the space creates a light-filled introduction that feels both grand and welcoming—the kind of room made for morning coffee, afternoon reading or evening drinks with friends. Just beyond, two wide, french door openings reveal the original heart of the home: a large living room and formal dining room that connect to create an especially gracious flow. The original staircase rises at the rear of the living room, an unmistakable reminder that this is a genuine 1920s Raleigh house, not a newer home designed to imitate one. What makes the property particularly captivating is how thoughtfully the owners have brought modern functionality to that historic character. Much of the rear portion of the house was gutted and rebuilt, creating spaces designed around contemporary living. A new mudroom, laundry and drop zone at the side entry lead into a new wet bar and cozy rear sitting room. Above this newly reimagined portion is an entirely new primary suite, thoughtfully positioned at the back of the home for added separation from Glenwood Avenue. Its spa-like primary bath provides a serene, contemporary retreat while remaining part of the home's larger architectural story. The result is a renovation that complements rather than competes with the original house. The gracious front rooms, hardwood floors, grand staircase and remarkable sunroom retain their 1920s personality, while the rebuilt rear provides the comfort, functionality and privacy expected of a home today. The current owners invested more than $250,000 in renovations, repairs and improvements throughout the home and property, with the goal of enhancing the house without sacrificing what makes it special. There are four bedrooms upstairs, including the new primary suite and the home's original primary bedroom with its own en suite bath. Two additional bedrooms share a hall bath, while a third-floor bonus room offers flexible space for an office, playroom or media room. Outside, the front yard was extensively reimagined with a new retaining wall, lawn and landscaping, privacy trees, fencing and an automatic gate. Drainage was redesigned to direct water toward the street, and gutter guards were added. The exterior was repainted in 2025, two of the home's three HVAC systems were replaced in 2024, and a detached two-car garage provides additional parking and storage. Set among the tree-lined streets of one of Raleigh's most established Inside-the-Beltline neighborhoods, the home is close to neighborhood favorites including the Rialto, NOFO and Idle Hour Coffee. The Village District, North Hills, Lenovo Center and NC Museum of Art are all just a short drive away. Ultimately, this is a home where old Raleigh charm and modern living meet naturally.
