-
The red brick walk and driveway lead to a classic 3 bedroom bungalow with a great floor plan.
-
Follow the brick walk past the partial basement to the brick storage shed. The floor plan offers practical options to expand in back.
-
Your own land of Oz - the deep terraced yard with big fig tree backs onto creek.
-
Lots of light during the day and gas logs at night create an inviting gathering space. The adjacent front bedroom pictured below can be an office, den or playroom.
-
The house feels bigger because of the center hall leading past the back two bedrooms and opening to the dining room.
-
Hardwood floors shine throughout the house.
-
The bright kitchen opens to the back yard through a small screened porch, offering lots of options for future expansion.
-
Enjoy the kitchen as is with its modern appliances, remodel it later possibly using NC Rehab Tax Credits.
-
The front bedroom, now used as an office, overlooks the park behind the school across the street.
-
Even the middle bedroom enjoys lots of light. Note how it sparkles in the original glass door knobs.
-
More options - a door connects the back and middle bedrooms creating a master suite, a convenient nursery, sitting room, whatever.
-
The porch overlooks the large park behind the Project Enlightenment School that is an elementary school resource center for Wake County. Google it.
-
NC Rehab Tax Credits can cover part of the cost of remodeling the dated but fully functional bathroom. Ditto remodeling the kitchen and other updates to the home.
-
Tax credits can also be used to remove the asbestos siding and restoring the wood siding now covered on the front and sides of the house.
-
A daylight, floored attic with pull down stairs provide great storage and apparently in years past, a hide-a-way.
-
Over the back creek, four new homes are being built on a short dead-end street as part of Rosengarten Park, which includes a number of renovated homes. City plans propose a greenway also running on the other side of the creek.
