Whether you choose to further update and personalize the existing home or explore the opportunity to build your dream home, this property offers outstanding potential in a highly sought-after setting. Laundry currently in basement but could easily be moved upstairs into the former "kitchenette" space to make a generous main level laundry room! A rare two-car garage and existing elevator shaft add even more possibility, including potential adaptation for multi-generational living (Note: the built-in elevator has not been used for several decades, but the space remains for a future owner to evaluate and reimagine). Come explore the possibilities of this unique property in an unbeatable Raleigh location.
