About 1116 E Martin St
A rare opportunity to own a quintessential 1940s bungalow on one of Downtown Raleigh's most desirable streets in Battery Heights. Brimming with charm, character, and thoughtful updates, this home perfectly blends historic details with modern functionality—all just blocks from the heart of downtown and steps away from Roberts Park. Inside, the inviting living room features custom built-ins that frame the fireplace, adding both beauty and function. The dining room offers a cozy banquette with hidden storage, while the entryway includes a custom drop zone—perfect for organizing bags, shoes, and daily essentials. Warm site-finished hardwood floors, designer lighting, and recessed LED fixtures run throughout the main living spaces, offering a timeless yet fresh aesthetic. The kitchen is as stylish as it is functional, featuring granite countertops, soft-close drawers, and perfect sight lines for cooking and entertaining. From the kitchen, step out to the screened porch—an ideal spot for morning coffee, evening cocktails, or quiet afternoons overlooking the spacious fenced backyard. Out back, you'll find mature landscaping, raised garden beds ready for summer veggies, and even a fig tree—perfect for garden enthusiasts or those simply looking for a private outdoor retreat. A fully floored second level provides incredible storage or the perfect canvas for future expansion. The current owners have invested in full architectural plans designed to transform this home: adding two bedrooms and a full bath upstairs, plus a convenient half bath on the main level. These plans will convey to the next buyer, offering a clear and valuable path for growth should you choose to expand. With a freshly painted exterior, updated systems, and charming curb appeal, this home is truly move-in ready while offering future potential. Walk to restaurants, coffee shops, greenways, and entertainment, or enjoy the community amenities at nearby Roberts Park—all from your front door. This is more than a home.
