Step into a piece of Raleigh history with this captivating HISTORIC OAKWOOD home! Fun Fact: This Queen Anne frame cottage was originally built in 1901 by contractor Jacob S. Allen for widow Lula Davis, at a cost of $1,785!! Wow. This home is filled with tons of character . . . HARDWOODS everywhere, 11 ft. ceilings, 4 spacious bedrooms, FIREPLACES, and European kitchen (Sub Zero, farm sink and marble counters included!). Incredible basement & walkup storage (future expansion?!). Outside, the property continues to impress with its curb appeal and prime location. Situated in a highly sought-after downtown pocket, you are just moments away from some of the city's best restaurants, Seaboard Station, and cultural landmarks. This isn't just a home; it's an opportunity to own a slice of one of Raleigh's most celebrated neighborhoods blending historic soul and urban convenience.
