Welcome to The 1893 House, a rare Neoclassical Revival residence where historic provenance and modern livability meet in unforgettable fashion. Fully restored and reimagined, this approximately 4,800-square-foot home offers 4 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms, beautifully preserved millwork, and a collection of richly layered interiors that feel both dramatic and deeply intentional, from the French-inspired parlor and moody green library to the designer suites and custom pink quartz champagne bar. Renovated in 2023–2024 by Design by Tula and 2SL Design Build, the home continues its story with elevated finishes, exceptional flow, and a fully finished lower level featuring a hidden speakeasy-style lounge that brings true downtown entertaining flair. Currently operating as a luxury short-term rental, the property also offers remarkable flexibility as a primary residence, refined second home, or distinctive income-producing asset.

Set within the Blount Street Historic District, this home is surrounded by one of Raleigh’s most storied residential settings, a corridor celebrated for its late-19th- and early-20th-century architecture and its place in the city’s evolution. Just beyond your door, Mordecai Historic Park offers guided tours, historic buildings, and access to the Historic Raleigh Trolley, while nearby Seaboard Station and the Person Street corridor bring together local bakeries, boutiques, garden and hardware shops, and some of downtown’s most-loved restaurants. Moore Square adds even more to the neighborhood experience with its four-acre urban greenspace, plus easy access to Marbles Kids Museum and the IMAX Theatre for play, film, and family-friendly programming.

From this location, you are exceptionally well placed to enjoy the best of central Raleigh. Downtown’s distinct districts bring together acclaimed dining, shopping, nightlife, museums, and live performance venues, while destinations like Transfer Co. Food Hall, Red Hat Amphitheater, the Martin Marietta Center for the Performing Arts, and the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences create a lifestyle that feels connected, cultural, and endlessly walkable. Raleigh Union Station adds another layer of convenience for regional travel, and Dorothea Dix Park offers 308 acres of open space, skyline views, and one of the city’s most exciting recreational destinations just beyond the urban core. It is a setting that captures exactly what buyers are seeking in downtown living: history, energy, access, and the chance to experience Raleigh at its most vibrant.

All furnishings are included with the home at an offering price of $4,200,000, presenting a rare opportunity for a fully turnkey purchase. Each piece has been thoughtfully selected to complement the design and scale of the residence, allowing for a seamless transition and immediate enjoyment of the home.
