A wonder in the woodland garden.

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.
