Welcome to Historic Downtown Rosengarten House. This Folk-Victorian bungalow is situated just one block east of central downtown, with a walker's paradise walk score ranking of 90%.

Built by Alex Rosengarten in 1910 on the original North Carolina State Fairgrounds, let the deep welcoming porch and swing lure you in to this 3 bedroom, 2 full bath historic dream. Featuring granite countertops, custom built cabinetry, Longleaf Heart pine floors and a roomy spa like bathroom with wrap around tile as well as the updated original bathroom with tub! With a clean burning fireplace, the original hearth place and mantle framed with beautiful colored cement art by NC State School of Design graduate Eric Cooke celebrating The City Of Oaks, this unique home is a true treasure. Fully restored and updated in 2011 and 2012 the home offers the perfect mix of historic charm and green living technology.

The attic has been prepped with HVAC vent work and roughed in plumbing for an additional living space within the existing house footprint. The house is reinforced with engineered floor joists and vertical beams to prepare for a such a future expansion. Heading outside to a beautiful backyard with a much desired detached garage, and 8x8 office shed. Both have electric and the shed has A/C.
