What's around 517 Cole Street

About this property

Some homes announce themselves the moment you arrive, and 517 Cole St is one of them. Set on a tree-lined street in the Glenwood-Brooklyn Historic District, this 1925 American Foursquare has the kind of pedigree that can't be replicated by anything built today. Step inside and the hardwood floors carry you into a living room anchored by a fireplace and crowned by a show-stopping original staircase, the unmistakable signature of a genuine century-old Raleigh home. Light pours in throughout, giving the front rooms an easy, welcoming warmth that's been part of this house since 1925. The kitchen tells a different, more contemporary chapter: thoughtfully updated for modern living, but careful never to erase the character around it. Down the hall, a wood-paneled bonus room offers a quiet retreat — the kind of space made for a bedroom, home office, a library, or simply a favorite reading chair. Three bedrooms and a bath and a half round out the interior, proof that historic homes don't need to be large to be extraordinary — just well-loved. In 2021 the home was updated with a new furnace and HVAC system; 2017 new hot water heater; 2025 new gutters, and interior and exterior paint. Outside, the story continues. A fully fenced backyard and mature landscaping create a private, established feel rare this close to downtown, while a versatile backyard shed adds flexibility — studio, office, or garden retreat, whichever you need it to be. Walk out the front door and Five Points, Glenwood South, Fletcher Park, and the Village District are all within easy reach — the best of intown Raleigh living, anchored by a neighborhood that has been treasured for well over a century. 517 Cole St isn't a new home dressed up to look old. It's the real thing — and it's ready for its next chapter.
