310 N East St Raleigh, NC 27601

Imagine Downtown Raleigh in the year of 1915; automobiles were still in their infancy and the sounds of horse and buggies clattering down cobblestone streets was commonplace. This home at 310 N. East Street was brand new then and is just as charming 111 years later! Upon arrival, you can park in your off-street driveway and enter via the covered front porch where you're greeted by a National Register of Historic Places plaque. Open the solid wood front door and once inside you'll immediately appreciate all the details; the tall ceilings, original hardwood floors and fixtures, as well as the beautiful natural light that graces the living spaces. A sprawling, 15x14 family room shares a back-to-back fireplace with an equally impressive formal dining room. Towards the back of the home and immediately adjacent the dining room is a conveniently-located kitchen boasting copious amounts of cabinetry, exposed dark wooden shelves, a farmhouse style sink and updated flooring. The bathroom has been treated to a retro-style rejuvenation with new fixtures, medicine cabinet and flooring, but it retains the timeless, original clawfoot tub (which has been updated to facilitate showering). The master bedroom measures a whopping 15x13 and exposed shelves (no closet) offering plenty or room for large furniture pieces, a wardrobe, sitting area, etc. Don't miss the private, shaded backyard that is equally perfect for entertaining or simply lounging in a hammock!
