Description

Whether you call it ''slept on'' or a ''hidden gem,'' most Raleigh residents have no idea about Golf Course Drive. Just two miles from downtown sits a quaint pocket neighborhood, with historic mid-century homes on large lots. Even better, a select few of these homes overlook one of Raleigh's most prestigious golf courses, the final masterpiece designed by legendary golf course architect Donald Ross. Today, we are honored to bring to market one of these rare opportunities: 315 Golf Course Drive. Also known as the ''W. Lewis and Nancy Godwin House,'' this home was recently renovated (c. 2010), adding modern conveniences to its historic charm. As you approach this half-acre lot, the sunny front yard offers a blank canvas for curating a magazine-worthy lawn or garden. Inside, those who dream of a bright, renovated kitchen are in luck. With wall-to-wall windows overlooking the sink and plenty of cabinets and counter space, this kitchen is move-in ready for even the most dedicated gourmands. The warm, private living room centers around a stacked stone fireplace with a large hearth, with another wall full of windows offering plenty of light. Even the formal dining room is full of natural light thanks to its large picture window. Overlooking the backyard are the three upstairs bedrooms and two full baths. The finished basement features a spacious, cozy living space, a fourth private room, and lots of unfinished storage space. A historic quirk to note downstairs is the ceiling height. At 6'6'' tall, the basement does not meet the modern 7' clearance for NC square footage standards, although the downstairs has been historically included in the permitted square footage, according to both Wake Co. and NC historical preservation records. The large backyard is entirely fenced, featuring another patio area and a secondary, smaller fence enclosure which the owners have enjoyed using for goats, chickens, and a play structure. With a vast, flat driveway that can host eight cars (!) in addition to the two-car garage, you'll never be pinched when hosting guests. The magnetic Alamo Drafthouse Cinema is a stone's throw away, anchoring the historic Longview Shopping Center. Raleigh Country Club is celebrated for its clubhouse and pool, in addition to its renowned course which was just renovated in 2020. Home is eligible for tax credits on future renovations, as a contributing property to the National Registry Longview Gardens Historic District.
