About This Home

As of May 2025

**Update 4/19/25- Offer Deadline 6PM Sunday, April 20,2025 Eastern Time.** Buzzworthy Budleigh home. Great location near Five Points, the Village District, and all of ITB Raleigh. An entertainer's dream, living rooms flow from both sides of the foyer, each with their own fireplaces. Be sure to see the tiled kitchen & starry light fixtures. Rumor has it, back in the day it was home to wild baked potato parties. A formal dining room and half bath finish off the first floor. Separate Dutch doors lead to either a secluded walled courtyard or an expansive 1100 sqft deck. Upstairs, you will find 4 ample sized bedrooms, 3 full baths, an additional fireplace and private balcony overlooking the backyard. Bright paint and hardwoods throughout, with artisan cement tile work in the kitchen and bathrooms. Off the basement, the previous owners installed a bomb shelter during the 1960's in response to the Cold War. As amazing as this home is, the grounds are what bring it to life. A diverse collection of pocket gardens encompasses the parklike setting. Mature azaleas, Japanese maple, fig, holly, & tulip poplar all provide shade while still offering room for a sunny vegetable garden. Morel mushrooms have been foraged on the property. All this plus an additional patio, two garden sheds, and a functional lamp post rescued from the Country Club Homes apartment community. Raleigh is home to some truly unique homes; this is one of them. Opportunities like this are rare. Showings begin Friday 4/18. Open House and Easter egg hunt Saturday 4/19 12-2 and Sunday 4/20 2-4. Call today to schedule an appointment. Plants in pots do not convey.
