516 N Blount Street

The life that 516 N Blount Street enables is rare at any price in the Triangle. Anchored in the Blount Street Historic District, Inside the Beltline, this setting delivers the full depth of downtown Raleigh directly from the front door: Moore Square, the NC State Capitol, Pullen Park, the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences, and the city's finest dining and cultural institutions, all within easy reach. The 1893 House is a 5,060-square-foot, fully restored Neoclassical Revival renovated in 2023 and 2024 by Design by Tula and 2SL Design Build. Four bedrooms, four full baths, and three half baths produce a floor plan built for gracious daily living and effortless full-scale entertaining. The architecture delivers on the promise of the address. Restored 1893 millwork anchors every room with a caliber of craftsmanship new construction cannot replicate. A French-inspired parlor and a signature deep green library define the main level's character, each space curated to honor the home's Neoclassical bones while performing at the standard of today's most refined luxury market. The primary suite is generously proportioned and privately positioned, finished to the same exacting standard that defines the renovation throughout. The custom pink quartz champagne bar is the main level's most arresting design moment, bold in material and entirely original in concept. The fully finished lower level introduces a hidden speakeasy-style lounge that places this home in a different category of entertaining range. From the refined parlor above to the subterranean lounge below, the layered sequence of gathering spaces across multiple levels is extraordinary for a downtown Raleigh residence. The .37-acre setting adds outdoor scale that complements the home's generous interior. Currently operating as a luxury short-term rental with proven income-producing performance, the property transitions seamlessly as a primary residence or second home. This architectural pedigree, this renovation depth, and this Blount Street address do not converge often. For the buyer who has been watching, this is the one.
