A Bespoke Speakeasy for Ultimate Entertaining
One of this home’s most distinctive features is its speakeasy-inspired hosting space—a refined room that blends vintage charm with modern sophistication. Whether you’re crafting craft cocktails for friends, curating a collection of rare spirits, or simply enjoying a quiet escape, this versatile space sets the stage for unforgettable evenings.
Modern Sophistication Meets Functional Design
From the moment you arrive, 817 Bryan Street captivates with its private, secret-garden-inspired front porch, setting the tone for the tranquility within. Inside, the home’s minimalist yet highly functional design places the majority of the living space on the first floor—creating an intuitive and inviting flow.
The open-concept layout is anchored by floor-to-ceiling glass windows, filling the space with natural light and offering unparalleled views of the expansive backyard oasis. The chef’s kitchen is a masterpiece, perfectly appointed with premium finishes and ample prep space, while the adjacent dining and living areas make hosting a dream.
A Private Retreat in the Heart of It All
On the left wing, a private study offers adaptable use, complementing the custom speakeasy. The right wing hosts a first-floor primary suite, an additional spacious bedroom with an en-suite bath, and a seamless connection to the backyard escape.
Upstairs, the second-floor primary suite is a true sanctuary, complete with a generous walk-in closet, a stunning en-suite bath, and a balconette—the perfect place to savor North Carolina’s divine evenings.
Unparalleled Outdoor & City Living
The backyard features a deck nearly the width of the home, surrounded by lush greenery and pristine landscaping. This home is a rare find—providing peace and serenity while being just steps from the Village District’s top restaurants, boutiques, and more.
With its contemporary character, unbeatable location, and easy connection to Wade Avenue and Downtown Raleigh, 817 Bryan Street embodies modern luxury with everyday ease.
