Help us and @preservationraleigh save this Glenwood Avenue beauty complete with back alley access, a quaint backyard + tons of its original features 📍803 Glenwood Avenue, Raleigh 🗝 $590,000 🏠1,723 square feet 🌳Lot Size: 0.17 acres 📩 Cathleen Turner | cturner@presnc.org 📱919-832-3652 ext. 240 Built in 1913, this stylish house was purchased by Norfolk Southern Railroad conductor Perle Edgar Furr and his wife Pattie who raised their two daughters here until they moved to Richmond in 1925. It shows the latest design trends of its era, including a wraparound porch topped by decorative gables and fanlight. The stunning front door features a wide fanlight and sidelights with bold Craftsman muntin designs allowing natural light into the front entrance parlor. The tall, spacious rooms feature pocket doors, stained wood mantels with tile surrounds including a notable rift-cut white oak corner mantel in the entrance, original light fixtures with push button switches, plaster walls and picture molding, and a Craftsman-inspired stained glass window in the former dining room. It has been vacant in recent years and suffered from significant deferred maintenance which initiated a Demolition by Neglect action. Aluminum siding was installed at some point, though much of it has been removed revealing the original clapboard siding. Leaks in the original slate roof and the poor drainage in the rear elevation will require immediate repair as part of the comprehensive rehabilitation work necessary, which will include installation of all new systems. The house has retained much of its original features and materials, some stored onsite, which translates to an excellent investment for a buyer searching for a great house in a walkable downtown Raleigh neighborhood. The P. Edgar Furr House is a contributing structure to the Glenwood-Brooklyn National Register Historic District making it eligible for historic rehabilitation tax credits and it is also part of the locally designated district. 📷 Capital City Camera Club
