Property Description

Some homes are preserved. Others are reborn with purpose. Welcome to The 1893 House, a fully restored Neoclassical Revival residence in Raleigh's Blount Street Historic District, blending historic character, modern luxury, and exceptional walkability. This approximately 4,800 sq ft home features 4 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms, restored millwork, and thoughtfully curated spaces including a French inspired parlor, a deep green library, designer suites, and a striking custom pink quartz champagne bar. Renovated in 2023-2024 by Design by Tula and 2SL Design Build, the residence blends timeless architecture with elevated finishes. A fully finished lower level with a hidden speakeasy style lounge delivers rare downtown entertaining flair. Currently operating as a luxury short-term rental, the property offers flexible use as a primary residence, second home, or income-producing asset. This is more than a home. It's a place designed to be experienced.
