Rare opportunity to own one of Raleigh's most architecturally significant Mid-Century Modern homes. Known as the L.H. & Lizzy Jobe House, this exceptional residence was designed in 1954 by acclaimed architect Glenn A. Buff, an award-winning architect, FAIA board member, distinguished alumnus of NC State University's College of Design, and nationally recognized Modernist designer. The home is proudly included in the NCModernist architectural archives. Nestled beneath a mature tree canopy on coveted Garden Place, the home exemplifies authentic Mid-Century Modern design with soaring vaulted ceilings, exposed wood beams, clerestory windows, walls of glass, original hardwood floors, warm wood paneling, custom built-ins, and a striking masonry fireplace that anchors the main living space. Every room embraces natural light while creating a seamless connection to the surrounding landscape. The thoughtfully designed floor plan offers spacious living and entertaining areas while preserving the clean lines and timeless simplicity that define Modernist architecture. A screened porch extends the living space outdoors, offering the perfect setting for morning coffee, evening gatherings, or quiet enjoyment of the private wooded setting. Tasteful updates complement the home's original design while honoring its architectural integrity. There is valuable additional resident parking in an area where parking itself is at a premium or can be used as an extra source of income as potential student parking should you consider this location for a college student or professor. The location is equally extraordinary. Positioned between The Village District, NC State University, the Oberlin Road corridor, Forest Park, the JC Raulston Arboretum, the Raleigh Rose Garden, Dorothea Dix Park, Pullen Park, and Downtown Raleigh, this home places some of the city's finest dining, shopping, entertainment, parks, and cultural destinations just minutes—or even a short walk—from your front door. For developers and investors, the opportunity extends well beyond the existing residence. Situated on an RX-3 zoned parcel within Raleigh's Frequent Transit Area, the property offers exceptional redevelopment potential. Conditional UDO incentives may provide opportunities for increased density and building heights of up to five additional stories, while existing municipal water, sewer, and utility infrastructure support a wide range of future uses, including luxury single-family redevelopment, townhomes, mixed-use, or higher-density multifamily projects (subject to City of Raleigh approvals and verification by buyer). Whether preserved as an iconic architect-designed residence or considered for its exceptional development potential, 2205 Garden Place represents one of the most unique real estate opportunities inside Raleigh's Beltline. Architecturally significant homes with this pedigree, combined with premier walkability, redevelopment flexibility, and an irreplaceable location, rarely become available.
