Hayes Barton maintains its stature as one of Raleigh's premier older, inner-beltline neighborhoods. Developed in the 1920's by noted landscape developer Earle Sumner Draper, the neighborhood sidewalks and streets closely follow the local terrain and lower ravine areas remained natural and became small local parks. Famed architect Thomas Wright Cooper Jr. designed the home at 1517 Caswell Street, which epitomizes the 1920's-1930's style so prevalent throughout Hayes Barton. The residence features a Flemish-bond brick exterior, oak hardwood flooring, a port cochere, high ceilings, a flighted stairway and excellent outdoor enjoyment space including a bluestone patio and screened porch. Inside you will discover a spacious family room that is opened into the kitchen. A private office showcases natural walnut bookshelves and cabinetry. On those cool winter evenings, grab a book and enjoy the solitude in front of one of the two fireplaces. The primary suite features a quaint sitting room and a private bath with whirlpool spa, shower and double vanities with granite tops. Above the 2-car garage is a bonus room with additional space ideal as a recreational room or studio. This home offers, historic charm, character and is easily walkable to the bars, restaurants and shopping at Five Points.
