*Highly-respected builder's residence* “Stay, stay at home, my heart, and rest; home-keeping hearts are happiest,” penned Longfellow. The poet’s sentiment perfectly captures the spirit of this graceful southern estate, its modest grandeur flowing from an unpretentious, classical elevation, a sun-saturated interior, a fireside feel of hospitality and a thoughtful preservation of the lot’s natural beauty. You’d expect to find a property of this scale much further north, NOT in the heart of North Raleigh.©
