Atkins House

This 1940 brick Colonial Revival home has been lovingly restored in Raleigh’s fabled Budleigh neighborhood, a haven of quiet, tree-lined streets just minutes away from Five Points and The Village District!

Situated on the corner of Eton and London Roads, this elegant 1940 brick home in Raleigh overlooks a rolling front lawn that’s a neighborhood favorite for chasing fireflies and enjoying its tree swing. The fenced back yard features a screened outdoor room cooled by ceiling fans and surrounded by beautiful oakleaf hydrangeas, crepe myrtles and camellias.

The restored two car garage has a polished floor, retro pendant lights, a storage loft, and even an electric car outlet. It’s connected to the house by a conditioned space with front and back doors which serves as a “friends’ entrance,” drop-zone, office and/or exercise space.

The light-filled living and dining rooms are spacious and feature arched openings. There is a study with built-ins adjacent to the living room for additional space for entertaining, work or play. Gorgeous hardwood floors flow throughout the house. The kitchen leans into its retro roots with its original countertops, dutch door and diamond paned casement window. Its heart-of-pine floors are stained to match the hardwoods in the house; recently installed light fixtures give a nod to the vintage modern aesthetic which emerged in the 1940’s. A winding “Budleigh” staircase, leads to a large upstairs foyer and three large bedrooms. The updated hall bath has a dual sink vanity. The primary bedroom has ample space to create an en-suite bath within the footprint.

It is getting harder to find a Budleigh original in Raleigh. Here is your opportunity to own one of the neighborhood’s darlings that has been lovingly restored and comes with a beautiful lot and two car garage!
