1814 Park Drive

Raleigh, NC 27605

Meet one of the original treasures of Forest Park (formerly known as Cameron Park), built in 1923. This timeless beauty radiates Southern charm, beginning with its elegant brick walkway through the flat front garden that leads to a wide, welcoming porch - perfect for neighborly visits on the swing. Inside, the gracious entry hall opens to a large living room with a gas fireplace, high ceilings and original hardwood floors throughout. The generous dining room showcases original transom windows - an architectural detail once designed for privacy and cross-breezes before the days of central air. A cozy den connects seamlessly to the kitchen and an oversized deck, providing a more casual second living area. The first floor also offers a full bath and powder room, presenting the opportunity to reconfigure the space for a main-level bedroom if desired. The butler's pantry, kitchen with open shelving, and separate walk-in pantry provide excellent functionality and storage. Upstairs, the turned staircase leads to three spacious bedrooms and two full bathrooms, plus a walk-up attic for ample storage. The full walk-out basement is ideal for a workshop, storage, or hobby space. Outdoor space is plentiful with upper and lower decks, a partially fenced private backyard and a charming and useful garden shed (also perfect as a She Shed or art studio). Don't miss its carved wooden door, won in a poker game in New Orleans by a relative of the owners - a fun & unique piece of history with stories of its own! Ideally located within walking distance to NC State, the YMCA, coffee shops, great shopping and restaurants in the Village District and the Pullen Arts Center, this home is brimming with character and opportunity. What a great chance to make this Forest Park gem your own!
