Tucked in a quiet historic wooded neighborhood but minutes from Raleigh’s best urban amenities is this lovely Dutch Colonial Revival!

Located in Raleigh’s historic Forest Park, this distinguished 1922 Dutch Colonial, with its slate-clad roof, is part of the National Register-listed Cameron Park Historic District, one of the city’s earliest planned suburbs. Known for its winding streets, mature trees, rolling topography, and architecturally significant homes, the neighborhood remains one of Raleigh’s most treasured historic communities. Just moments from the Village District, downtown Raleigh, NC State University, and Pullen Park, the home offers the opportunity to enjoy one of Raleigh’s most walkable historic neighborhoods.

The home retains well-proportioned rooms and a traditional center-hall floor plan typical of Raleigh’s finest early twentieth-century residences. Formal living and dining rooms, high ceilings, refinished hardwood floors (2025), and two fireplaces reflect the craftsmanship of the period. At the rear of the home, updated spaces complement the home’s historic character while supporting contemporary living. A sunroom, screened porch, two brick patios, and a new second-floor HVAC system (2026) enhance year-round comfort.

The second floor includes a primary bedroom with an en-suite bath, two additional bedrooms, hall laundry, and a former sleeping porch now used as a studio. A quaint staircase leads to the third floor, featuring a cozy heated room and a separate walk-in attic illuminated by arched dormer windows beneath the gambrel roof, distinctive features of this Dutch Colonial Revival home.

Accessed from one of Forest Park’s favorite alleys, the property offers abundant off-street parking and a partially fenced backyard with a garden shed — features that complement its enduring appeal as it welcomes its next steward.
