About This Home
As of May 2025Could be voted most Adorable Home in all of Raleigh! Come see this completely renovated 1920's urban cottage. You won't believe what floor-plan modernization can do. This home was completely stripped down to the frame and renovated in 2012 with a great new floorpan. Open spaces and vaulted ceilings make it feel larger than it is. A gourmet kitchen, smart-design primary bath & laundry, upstairs bed, 1/2 bath and loft/office top off this unique design. It's filled with lots of extra cabinets and superb storage solutions. In the kitchen you'll find all stainless steel appliances including a 4-burner gas range and oven, new refrigerator, dishwasher and microwave. The large granite countertop bar doubles as a mealtime serving area. There are solid oak floors on the 1st floor and oak stairs leading upstairs. The primary bedroom suite includes triple french doors opening out to a backyard oasis. The large deck and enormous fully-fenced backyard is perfect for all your outdoor activities or simply enjoying quiet time. Past the quaint little fire-pit near the back of the yard you'll discover the funnest little shack! Use it as an off-site office, yoga studio, art studio or simply a swanky storage room. It's got a bright skylight, double slider and cute little porch... the possibilities are endless for this uniquely designed shed. Back inside the main home the private upstairs bedroom leads to a half-bath and the loft area where again, the uses are endless...office, playroom, studio. Out front the front porch overlooks the charming Dorothea Gardens neighborhood, and it's a quick 5-10 minute walk to downtown Raleigh's many esteemed local eateries, shops, walking-trails & all the activities this vibrant state capital city offers. Outdoor lighting is on an automatic timer and will turn on when it gets dark! This property has been a popular 5-star Airbnb property for past several years and can now be yours. Want the furnishings as well? Transfer of the personal property can be arranged for an extra fee. Go to HPWlistinginfo.com for additional information.
