Surrounded by mature maples, this Mid Century Modernist home by Holloway & Reeves feels like a retreat. In a part of Raleigh where many original homes have been replaced, this is a rare chance to own--and preserve--an authentic modernist property with a flexible, livable layout. The floor plan offers an easy, informal flow with just the right mix of open space and separation. A large front bedroom with generous closets, laundry, and full bath works beautifully as a primary suite or guest/in-law setup, or a family room. Three additional bedrooms are tucked toward the back for privacy. Creative spaces really set this home apart: an office with double-sided built-ins and clerestory windows, a dedicated art studio, and a sunroom filled with natural light. Decks off the side and rear open to courtyard-style outdoor areas--perfect for entertaining or just enjoying nature. The skylit kitchen features a original refinished cabinetry, granite countertops, and a bar/bar sink in the breakfast area. Out back, a deck with handmade handrail--crafted by the owner, a former NCSU Crafts Center instructor--adds a personal, artistic touch. There are two garden sheds, one is double-sided, offering ample space for bike storage and garden tools. This is a fun, soulful home for buyers who love mid-century design and want something with personality, history, and room to make it their own.
