221 Glascock St, Raleigh, NC 27604

One type of character in a home is earned, over time. Built in 1924, this original bungalow rests in the Westernmost block of Glascock St. Surrounded entirely by other original homes and the rear yard looking directly to iconic Norburn Terrace, c.1899. Owned for previous decades by a passionate landscape designer who helped nurture the redevelopment and increased vibrancy of the N. Person St area nearby. Anchored to the corners by mature, yet low maintenace landscaping, a full width front porch and rear screened porch, the house rests effortlessly within the lot. A grand entry hallway with 9' ceilings and arched passage, connects a traditional layout with kitchen to the rear, looking into the yard. Comfortable as-is or as a candidate to expand the house footprint into the back. Pine flooring, original fireplaces, and claw-foot tub are favorites, but it is a property to see in person to imagine the possibility, easing back into simpler times. Be sure to experience the front porch with privacy given larger specimen trees of a Weeping European Hornbeam, a Japanese Katsura and Japanese Maple.
