1518 Greenwood St Raleigh, NC 27608

Listing details for 1518 Greenwood St, Raleigh, NC 27608 : In the heart of Five Points, overlooking the beautiful Roanoke Park, and barely half a block from Ajja and the newest Trophy Brewing Company outpost, this darling 1940s bungalow is the ultimate in walkable locations. Stroll the tree-lined, shaded streets and enjoy eclectic and fascinating architecture of the neighborhood, hang out in the park with your coffee, or walk the one-half mile into Five Points (Rialto, restaurants, post office, coffee, etc.). While the next owner will likely want to update kitchens and baths (or, possibly just address some deferred maintenance and live in its more ''vintage'' style), this home is full of delights and character that is difficult to replicate in newer builds: crown moulding, old hardwood floors, French doors, and a direct view of the park from the living room, front-right bedroom, and of course the large front porch. The original home was surely just the one floor, with three bedrooms, a bathroom, dining and living. At some point the back porch was enclosed into a laundry room and storage pantry, and at some point after that what we presume to have been attic was finished into a funky flex space with full bath. The current owner uses the entirety of the second floor as the primary bedroom suite, but a future owner might decide to use one of the downstairs original bedrooms as the primary and use the upstairs for office, gym, media, or play. Out back there's a detached two-car garage (good luck finding that very often in Five Points) and a platform deck for hanging out or grilling. The large unfinished basement and crawl space are fully sealed with sump pumps and dehumidifier. Sold strictly as is, where is. No HOA!
