204 E Park Dr for rent in Raleigh, NC
This spacious three-story home, built in 1924, in highly desirable, historic Forest Park (Former Cameron Park) is located on on a quite, low-traffic one-way street on Green Park. It has terrific walkability - Wiley Elementary and St. Mary's School are around the corner, and Broughton High School, NCSU, Cameron Village, and downtown are within a short walk. Forest Park is a historic neighborhood, and one that is very welcoming with a long history of neighborhood gatherings such as the annual Halloween and Christmas events, Easter Egg Hunts, and Fourth of July celebrations. The first floor includes a large eat in kitchen with newer, high end stainless appliances and a walk in pantry. Custom cabinetry provides exceptional storage space, and custom lighting highlights the cherry finish and the hardwood floors. A desk with built-ins is the perfect spot for a home office. The kitchen opens onto a sunny, fenced backyard. The brick patio is perfect for outdoor dining. Although the yard is compact, the Wiley Elementary school play ground is just around the corner, and Green Park offers the ideal spot for outdoor fun. The bright living room has hardwoods and a gas log fireplace. Custom wood blinds - standard throughout the home - offer privacy yet allow plenty of natural light. The living room opens onto a screened porch offering beautiful views of the park. French doors on the other end of the room lead to a spacious dining room that is also connected to the kitchen. The second floor include two sunny bedrooms with large closets and a renovated full bathroom with a soaking tub, marble counter tops, glass shower doors, and an original built in cabinet. A third bedroom, the master, has a large walk in closet and a recently renovated full bathroom with custom tile work and a marble counter top.

Also on the second floor is a conveniently enclosed laundry "room" with cabinetry for detergent and a butcher block top for folding clothes. There is also a linen closet providing extra storage. The entire third floor has been converted to an awesome, sunlit space perfect as a kids playroom, a game room for teens, a home office or home gym. This room includes two window seats, custom lighting, a beautiful iron stair rail that coordinates with the dark flooring and light walls. A "snack" area with a mini fridge and a cabinet for storage offer convenience. Additional storage can be found behind the kneewalls that extend the length of the room.
