About this home
Perched at the top of Green Park in Raleigh’s Historic Forest Park neighborhood, the Dr. Carl W. Bell House is a rare architectural treasure that beautifully blends historic significance with thoughtful modern updates. Built in 1920 and believed by local historians to have been designed by architect H.P.S. Keller, the home is one of the few examples of Italianate Classic Revival architecture in the neighborhood.
A stately front portico with balcony above sets the tone for the gracious interiors. Inside, a grand entry foyer welcomes guests and is flanked by a marble-floored music room on one side and a formal living room with a wood-burning fireplace on the other. Throughout the home, 10-foot ceilings, wood shutters, and pairs of arched windows create an atmosphere of timeless elegance.
The fully renovated kitchen offers a seamless blend of historic character and modern function, featuring a Viking gas cooktop with vent hood, double wall ovens, Bosch dishwasher, quartzite countertops, and custom cabinetry with inset doors. A charming breakfast room with a built-in banquette set within a bay window is complemented by a dry bar with glass cabinetry, making it both practical and inviting for everyday living.
Additional main-level spaces include a formal dining room illuminated by a crystal chandelier, a cozy library with built-in bookshelves, a powder room that retains the charm of the home’s original era, and a mudroom/laundry room with convenient rear entrance. Just outside, a covered side porch and brick courtyard provide a private outdoor retreat surrounded by landscaping that comes alive each spring.
Upstairs, the home offers four bedrooms and three updated full baths. The primary suite includes a luxurious bath with double vanity, walk-in shower, and an exceptional walk-in closet. A smaller fourth bedroom, accessible by a rear staircase from the kitchen, offers flexibility for a guest room, office, or creative space.
Additional storage and future possibilities can be found in the unfinished basement and walk-up attic. Completing the home’s distinctive architectural presence are the beautifully refurbished terra cotta tile roof and the elegant symmetry characteristic of its Italianate Classic Revival design.
A short stroll from The Village District, the home enjoys easy access to one of Raleigh’s most beloved destinations for shopping, dining, and entertainment. Its central location also places Downtown Raleigh and NC State University just minutes away. Nearby attractions include the scenic grounds of Pullen Park, the renowned North Carolina Museum of Art, and the vibrant State Farmers Market. Residents can also explore Raleigh’s downtown museums and events or enjoy the expansive green spaces and skyline views at Dorothea Dix Park.
The Dr. Carl W. Bell House represents a rare opportunity to own a piece of Raleigh’s architectural history in one of the city’s most cherished historic neighborhoods....
