Welcome to 807 East Edenton Street — A Timeless Raleigh Treasure Where History Meets Modern Sophistication.
Nestled in the storybook Oakwood Community, one of Downtown Raleigh's most beloved and architecturally rich enclaves, this extraordinary 6-bedroom, 4-bath Craftsman bungalow invites you to experience a rare blend of heritage and heart. Built in 1925 and gracefully reimagined for contemporary living, this home stands as a testament to the enduring beauty of the Craftsman era — a symphony of craftsmanship, character, and comfort.
From the moment you step onto the wide, welcoming front porch framed by classic tapered columns, you'll feel the embrace of a bygone era — where neighbors greet each other by name, and the scent of magnolia drifts through tree-lined streets. Inside, original hardwood floors gleam beneath soft natural light, guiding you through rooms adorned with intricate moldings and architectural details that whisper stories of a century past. Every corner reflects both artistry and intention, with modern upgrades woven seamlessly into its historic fabric.
Two fully equipped, newly renovated kitchens — complemented by a third kitchenette area in the second floor laundry room — offer unrivaled flexibility, ideal for multigenerational living, extended guests, or lucrative rental potential. Each level enjoys its own laundry area, thoughtful layout, and modern comforts such as new tile flooring, a recently installed roof (2021), and three HVAC systems (one for every level; 2021, 2023, and 2020) for energy-efficient climate control. Enjoy endless hot water with a high-efficiency tankless water heater (2020).
The finished basement level transforms function into refinement — an independent suite with sophistication and soul, complete with a private patio and ground-level entrance for easy access from the parking area. Perfect for extra income or a private oasis apart from the main living areas. Meanwhile, the upper levels provide an abundance of space for family gatherings, quiet retreats, or elegant entertaining.
Step outside to the private backyard — a lush urban sanctuary framed by mature trees and gentle breezes. The expansive deck invites al fresco dining beneath the stars, while the front porch is perfect for morning coffee or evening wine as the city hums softly in the distance. With ample off-street parking and an oversized lot — a rarity in downtown Raleigh — this property offers both luxury and practicality in equal measure.
Perfectly positioned just moments from the city's finest dining, art galleries, and cultural landmarks, this residence captures the very essence of Oakwood's charm: the intimacy of a small-town community nestled within the vibrant pulse of the capital city.
A century of history, redefined for modern life — this is more than a home; it's a legacy waiting to be lived.
