620 Cutler Street | Boylan Heights
A former neighborhood grocery. A one-of-a-kind home. And a property with possibilities you simply don't find every day in downtown Raleigh.
620 Cutler Street began its life as the neighborhood grocery store, and that history is still one of the most captivating things about it.
Converted into a two-story residence in 1998 and recently updated, the home retains the character that makes it unmistakably unique—grand storefront windows, soaring ceilings, original architectural details, wood floors, and an open first floor filled with natural light.
And then there's something particularly rare for a historic downtown neighborhood: an attached garage. With 3,113 square feet, four bedrooms, and three full baths, the home offers far more than an interesting past. It offers incredible flexibility for its next chapter.
The first floor features expansive living space along with a separate bedroom and full bath. Create an extraordinary entertaining space, an artist or photography studio, a home office, or simply enjoy it as part of the home. With vision, the layout also presents intriguing possibilities for multi-generational living or a flexible guest suite—and, subject to City of Raleigh approval, a separate living space with the addition of a kitchen.
Upstairs, the feeling shifts from the dramatic storefront architecture below to something warmer and more intimate. A fireplace and rich wood detailing bring character to the living spaces, while the updated kitchen features quartz countertops and new appliances. Three additional bedrooms and two renovated full baths complete the second floor.
But what makes 620 Cutler Street special isn't simply its square footage or bedroom count. It's the opportunity. A historic storefront turned home. A residence with room to create, work, gather, or reimagine. An attached garage in one of Raleigh's beloved historic neighborhoods. And those incredible storefront windows that ensure this house could never be mistaken for another.
620 Cutler Street isn't a conventional Boylan Heights home—and that is exactly its appeal. For the right buyer, this isn't just a house.
It's a chance to create something entirely their own.
