High on the list of wants for today's buyers is convenience to restaurants, entertainment and shopping. The residence at 229 Woodburn Road in the historic Cameron Park/Forest Park neighborhood is one short block from the Village District, one of Raleigh's most popular shopping and dining destinations. Walk Score rates the home a 94/100, (a walker's paradise). The home has been fully renovated, but maintains the character of the 1920's. Inside you will discover tight-grained hardwood flooring, high ceilings, four updated baths and an open, renovated chef's kitchen. There are possible primary suites on both the main level and the second story. The formal areas are open and a quaint sun room is the ideal spot for morning coffee. Upstairs is a spacious mother-in-law suite with a private bath and coffee station. Outside are several areas for relaxation or entertainment including a charming covered front porch with an accessible balcony, a screened porch, deck, and fenced-in patio. A detached building offers potential space for a studio, potting shed or workshop. The two-car garage with epoxied floors is a rare neighborhood amenity. Recent updates include new exterior paint and a new roof in 2023. Immaculate condition!
