About This Home
A wonder in the woodland garden. Designed by noted architect Gail Lindsay, FAIA, in 1997, this extraordinary home has long been a source of quiet magic in the neighborhood—a beloved and soulful place filled with creativity and light.
The home is framed by a soaring two-story screened porch with an upper deck and catwalk, perfectly balanced by a dramatic two-story living space designed for gathering and celebration. From the welcoming front porch to the intimate ''martini'' porch tucked into the garden, the house offers a variety of serene perspectives on the surrounding lush landscape.
Below, a spacious 1,300+ sq ft unfinished basement has served as a gardener's dream workspace—complete with grow lights and a robin's egg blue cast-iron tub used as a potting bench. With a walk-out access, kitchen sink, and additional cooking stove, this space is full of potential for studio, office, or recreation use.
Set on one of Raleigh's most architecturally significant streets, this is a home with heart and history, awaiting its next thoughtful steward. If you're seeking something truly out of the ordinary, come explore this exceptional property—and take a quiet stroll through its enchanting woodland garden.
