Property Description

Unicorn Alert ~ The coolest house on the coolest street! Historic 1901 River Mill Bungalow: rebuilt and reimagined 8 years ago for modern living. Charming, well designed, and sitting on nearly half an acre, it has everything you need and then some. The historic River Mill was eventually converted to condos and some of these houses were moved from their location just on the other side of the bridge to this street. Some of our favorite things about this home: it lives larger than you'd expect with 9 foot ceilings, open concept, large backyard, large and in charge standup master shower, 1 year old above ground saltwater pool/deck, one car garage, well water with whole house filter, gas stove, tankless water heater, location in the County and not the city. There are truly just too many things to list! The location? its GOLD, Jerry. Greenway/trails? Bottom of the street - two minute walk, Falls Dam/Neuse River? also two minutes. Falls Lake? 4 minutes (10 min walk to the Lake), Also, the Neuse River Park with potential whitewater rafting elements is moving forward and is just steps away. SO COOL. How about driving and its convenience to so many major roads in Raleigh? We got you... I-98? two miles, Falls of Neuse Rd? 0.5 miles, 540? 4 miles, Capital Blvd? 3 miles. This is an incredible North Raleigh location with the insane bonus of having a Wake Forest address. What's so special about that? First, no city taxes. Glory! But more importantly: the house is only Wake County, so you're free to bring the goats and chickens and use your property as you please. No HOA, no restrictions. With 2000 square feet, 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, or 3 bedrooms and 2 living areas if you please, it's been a very functional size for our family of five. Our family most recently used the 4th bedroom as a family room, but you have choices and who doesn't want that? Come see this charming, vintage/modern, one of a kind property and take advantage of the chance to live in North Raleigh with Wake Forest freedom!
