1305 Filmore Street

Step into a piece of Raleigh history at the Andrew J. Etheridge House, a charming early-20th-century home in the Glenwood-Brooklyn Historic District—one of Raleigh's earliest streetcar-era neighborhoods. With unmistakable curb appeal and a setting convenient to Five Points, The Village District and downtown, 1305 Filmore offers character, versatility and remarkable investment potential. Currently configured as a duplex, Units A and B each feature private entrances, a living/dining area, kitchen, bedroom and full bath. Additional lower-level flex space and laundry areas expand the possibilities, while rear decks—including elevated decks off the bedrooms—provide inviting outdoor retreats. The real surprise is the substantial detached two-car garage and partially finished accessory space, built in 1999 and accessed from the rear alley. The garage level includes abundant cabinetry, a fireplace and half bath, plus a separate tongue-and-groove-paneled room with a wood stove—ideal for a workshop, studio or creative escape. Upstairs, generous windows, natural light and beautiful hardwood floors create an inspiring office, guest suite or potential bedroom. With separate entrances on each level, the detached building offers exciting possibilities for a home office, studio, guest quarters or additional rental income.
