Description
Set on a corner lot in Hayes Barton, this classic Dutch Colonial home blends traditional charm with modern comforts. Built in the late 1920s by Howard E. Satterfield, this impressive residence with a green clay tile and metal roof offers a rare opportunity to own a true architectural gem.
An inviting foyer opens into spacious formal living and dining rooms adorned with intricate dentil molding, hardwood floors, and abundant natural light. The living room showcases a striking black marble fireplace and seamlessly transitions into a sun-drenched sunroom/office with French doors. The dining room boasts a crystal chandelier, classic built-in corner cabinets, and oversized windows. The updated white kitchen combines modern functionality with classic style, featuring custom cabinetry, granite counters, stainless appliances, a gas cooktop, and a cozy built-in breakfast nook with a bay window. The main-level family room, with lacquered walls, provides relaxed elegance with built-ins, a second fireplace, and French doors that lead to an amazing wraparound covered porch--perfect for morning coffee or evening cocktails.
A grand staircase with a traditional runner anchors the home and leads to the second floor. Upstairs, the primary suite with dual closets includes an en-suite bathroom with dual marble vanity, custom cabinetry, laundry shoot, marble herringbone heated floors, and a large marble and tile walk-in shower with a glass-block window for natural light and privacy. Two additional bedrooms upstairs provide comfort for guests or family, with white marble and tile en-suite bathrooms and dual closets.
The finished basement is a standout feature. It is fully paneled in warm wood, with built-in bookshelves and private bathroom access--ideal for use as a guest suite, recreation room, home office, or media space. The lower level adds invaluable flexibility.
Outside, the manicured lawn with sprinkler system, white picket fenced back yard, brick pathways, one-car garage and carport, and symmetrical facade create eye-catching curb appeal. Located in Raleigh's desirable Hayes Barton neighborhood, this home is just minutes from parks, shops, and dining, yet it feels like a serene escape steeped in charm and tradition.
