Description
Welcome to Dr. Carl W. Bell House is situated at the top of Green Park in Historic Forest Park. The current owners have brought this home back to its former glory over the past 18 months, adding modern elements of comfort and convenience without interfering with her statuesque beauty. Forest Park (formerly known as Cameron Park) was one of Raleigh’s original suburbs located on the street car line of Hillsboro Street. Now, it is in the hub of restaurants, shopping, NCSU, and downtown. When you enter the home you are met by 10-foot ceilings, a marble-floored music room, a large living room and a formal dining room with stunning new crystal chandelier. The kitchen has been completely revamped with custom cabinets with inset doors, Viking gas cooktop, and double ovens. There is a mudroom/laundry with back entrance off the kitchen. The first floor is finished off with a library and a new powder room. Upstairs there are 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths. The double doors at the top floor landing lead to the newly redesigned primary suite with a gleaming new walk-in shower, private water closet, and double vanity. All new vast custom-designed walk-in closet. The home also has a walk-up unfinished attic, basement, and back stairs. Outside you have a private walled garden oasis with an expansive brick patio and side porch overlooking Green Park. Previously damaged plaster walls were replaced with sheetrock. The tile roof had tiles removed and replaced by Baker Roofing under previous ownership. All current work was fully permitted and permits closed 6/27/24.
