About this House

This is not just a house. This is Mae's house. For more than 70 years, this little home belonged to one extraordinary woman. Built in 1950 and lovingly cared for by its one and only owner, Mae Jackson filled it with flowers, hard work, laughter, family, and a lifetime of stories that helped shape Raleigh. Raised during the Depression, Mae believed in caring for what you had, finding beauty in simple things, and working hard. She often said, "I love anything that blooms in the garden...even a weed." Her yard became one of the prettiest in the neighborhood, and in 2020, her beloved home and garden were featured by WRAL's Tar Heel Traveler. Perhaps her greatest labor of love began with a tiny black walnut sapling given to her by her father. She nurtured it for seven decades until it stood more than 100 feet tall. From that single tree, she handcrafted rocking chairs that still cradle generations of her family today. Mae was as much a part of Raleigh as this home. She spent 42 years at Raleigh's iconic Angus Barn, where her kindness left such a lasting mark that one of only two named seating stations still bears her name. Friends knew her as hardworking, generous, fiercely independent, and someone who always found joy in serving others. Now, this home is ready for its next chapter. It needs renovation, vision, and someone who will recognize what Mae always saw: that beautiful things are worth caring for. Some rooms already have hardwood flooring! The basement has many rooms including full bath, all heated and cooled from upstairs, with refrigerator and washer/dryer combo hookups, it can serve about any purpose you need! Workshop, gardening, playroom, office, wine storage, exercise...you name it! With two charming outbuildings, including the workshop and greenhouse where she lovingly wintered her plants, and surrounded by the character-filled homes of this special Raleigh neighborhood, the possibilities are endless. Home sold "as is". Some homes are measured in square feet. This one is measured in memories. If these walls could talk, they would tell the story of a life beautifully lived. Now, it's time for someone new to write the next chapter.

    "I've lived here for over 10 years. I suggest that you pick and a residence based on the particular intersection, but overall it's not a bad place to dwell. It's quiet and most people are either from NC or have lived here for a long time. There's a low percentage of renters and the neighborhood is diverse in a good way. This is a good place for families with kids or older couples to live. There are not restaurants or shopping plazas worth visiting in the area--go downtown for those. There's a great greenway nearby!"

    "You can't beat this part of Raleigh. Two minutes from downtown, Wade Ave, the Belitline, and 40? It's the best place to be for getting anywhere and you're close to what other people wish they were. We have a family of 4 and the parks are better equipped than others in Raleigh, the homes are affordable, and you can actually get to know everyone in the area around you because they are all out on the weekends in their yards with their families and dogs. It's a great area for everyone basically. Can't recommend it highly enough. I think it will be the next hot spot inside the Beltline once people catch on to the value and how much better the traffic and commute situation is from here versus some more popular areas. Did I mention the lots are large and have garages. No street parking all over the place like some of the rabbit warren areas near downtown."
