Step into HISTORIC OAKWOOD and a rare piece of Raleigh history with this captivating 1901 Victorian, one of the city's finest examples of Steamboat Gothic architecture — a romantic style born from the grand porches of Mississippi riverboats, reimagined here in the heart of downtown Raleigh's most coveted historic pockets . . . 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. 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.
