2309 Fairview is a rare Hayes Barton traditional where original 1930s proportions meet contemporary culinary standards. The main floor welcomes you with tall ceilings and gracious public rooms that retain period detail while opening to a kitchen built for a professional cook — a 6-burner Viking range, Sub-Zero refrigeration, Miele coffee and warming drawer, wine cooler and reverse-osmosis water system form the core of a workspace that blends function and finish. A main-floor bedroom and full bath offer immediate one-level living or guest accommodation without sacrificing privacy.
Upstairs, four additional bedrooms and thoughtfully arranged bathrooms provide flexibility for family, workspace, and media use. Throughout, ceilings near 9–9.5 feet enhance scale; built-ins and classic moldings keep the historic personality intact. The house sits on a deep, landscaped 10,890 sq ft lot with mature trees and a sequence of outdoor rooms — terraces and garden beds that are ideal for entertaining, play, and quiet moments. A secure automatic gated driveway provides off-street parking and privacy, and there is presumed detached garage/covered parking on-site.
The location is as compelling as the home: Five Points' restaurants, coffee, and boutique shopping are an easy walk away, while downtown Raleigh, Glenwood South and Cameron Village are a short drive or bike ride. The property is commonly associated with Root Elementary, Oberlin Middle, and Broughton High (Wake County Public Schools), making it an especially attractive choice for families seeking a central, established neighborhood.
This offering is suited for buyers who appreciate authentic architecture but want a turn-key lifestyle: exquisite kitchen appointments, intact character, and outdoor spaces that function year-round. Schedule a showing to experience the marriage of era detail and modern living at 2309 Fairview.
Hayes Barton / Five Points is an established, walkable enclave directly west of downtown Raleigh known for mature trees, pre-war architecture, and a compact retail node at Five Points. The neighborhood attracts professionals and families wanting an urban-in-town lifestyle with neighborhood coffee shops, restaurants, and easy access to downtown cultural and employment centers.
Hayes Barton and the adjacent Five Points corridor remain among Raleigh’s strongest micro-markets for single-family homes. Buyer demand continues for restored pre-war homes close to downtown, keeping price per square foot above broader city averages. Inventory in inner-Raleigh neighborhoods is typically tight; well-updated properties with premium kitchens and generous lots command particular attention from owner-occupant buyers and small investors. Median sale prices in close-in neighborhoods have shown modest year-over-year appreciation (single-digit) with multi-year gains stronger — making a renovated historic home here both a lifestyle purchase and a durable value proposition. Given current trends, expect competitive showings and limited days on market when properly marketed to the local buyer pool.
