This two-story brick house, on the market for the first time in twenty-five years, is in Raleigh's charming Budleigh/Hayes Barton neighborhood which is an easy walk to Mandolin restaurant, Idle Hour coffee shop, Glenwood Village shopping center and popular Five Points. Built in 1928, this quintessential home has a vast number of windows, hardwood floors throughout and undergone three renovations. The attic was turned into a third-floor playroom complete with windows and eave storage. The kitchen renovation includes built-in Subzero refrigerator and Subzero freezer, GE Profile double oven, Miele paneled dishwasher along with beautiful white painted cabinets and Delicatus white granite countertops. The primary bathroom was upgraded and now boasts luxurious features such as a steam shower, air tub, and separate, spacious his and her closets. The family room and a 47x14 veranda, with a centered fireplace, were also added. With the fireplace and outdoor heaters, the veranda is a wonderful space to enjoy ten months out of the year, and is plumbed for an outdoor kitchen, making it perfect for hosting gatherings. The house has 1,663 sq ft of unfinished basement with a secondary laundry hookup and great storage. It also features two garages, providing space for a small vehicle and/or storage. The roof was replaced in 2009 with a 40-year shingle, ensuring long-lasting protection. A new hot water heater with a recirculating pump was installed in 2024. The house is wired for speakers in every room, whole house alarm system and a remote driveway gate. The backyard is fully enclosed, .55-acre lot, providing a safe and luscious space for outdoor activities as well as security for pets and includes a playhouse and basketball goal. The lot extends approximately 35' beyond the end of the grass area and the Leland cypress trees with ample space for a sports court, dog run or garden.
