1313 Dale St, Raleigh, NC 27605

Earth sits at just the right distance from the Sun, in what's known as the Goldilocks zone — too close, and our world would sizzle like Venus; too far, and it would freeze like Mars. Similarly, 1313 Dale Street rests in the sweet spot near downtown Raleigh — close enough to feel its energy and walk to its offerings, yet just far enough away to offer a cheerful hideaway. In kindred spirit with its historic, Glenwood-Brooklyn neighbors, 1313 Dale is designed and styled to feel at home among its elders — yet unapologetically modern in how it lives. The wide front porch stretches deep enough for real living. Out back, a screened porch offers quiet and shade. The kitchen is unexpectedly super-sized, and no one's complaining. Upstairs, a third-floor perch with full bath offers space for guests and escape. And below, a finished basement invites play, projects, and the freedom to be loud. While it's rooted in a beloved historic community, everything inside feels fresh and unsullied —new paint, refinished floors, and untouched carpet lending it the calm clarity of a just-finished home. Like Costa Rica's Monteverde cloud forest — quietly alive, self-sustaining, and in beautiful balance — this home lives lightly and brightly within its surroundings. It read the neighborhood's vibe, then nailed the assignment.©
