East Village NYC meets West Raleigh NC
This 1924 Boylan Heights Bungalow has been stunningly rebuilt in & out
with contemporary loft like spaces inside. It is the ultimate “green home”
with top quality flooring, siding and doors salvaged from the Habitat
Reuse Center. The whole house is Energy Star rated reflecting the new
windows, roof, insulation, wiring, mechanical systems & more. The mantel
is custom built 4 inch southern yellow pine. The fireplaces are decorative
but possibly could be fitted with ventless gas logs.

Track lighting, an industrial 15-light sliding door
and floors salvaged from a home on Pasquotank Dr create a gallery like space as you enter the
home. The long interior wall has been framed so
that you could add a door or arched opening
connecting the front bedroom to the living room. |

Honed absolute black granite
counter tops, a natural slate floor &
backsplash, new custom built
cabinets & stainless sink/counter
are some of the plusses in the
kitchen. Note the pre-owned Sub-
Zero refrigerator and adjacent
panty cupboards. |

moveable closet/wardrobes. |

opportunities to grow your own
garden. |

Boylan Heights is an eclectic family neighborhood within walking
distance of downtown, NC State, the state framers market and the
Pullen Park carousel, train and indoor public pool. Activities include an
annual December Arts walk and Halloween picture of pumpkins on the
nearby Boylan Avenue bridge overlooking the city skyline. |

|
The value of property in Boylan Heights is increased by the fact that is both a local and a National Historic District. See the Toolkit and Neighborhood sections of my site for more information. |
