Coming Soon....Life at 712 Van Buren is more than just a home—it's the ultimate James Beard Life. Imagine walking back from dinner at James Beard nominated Chef Cheetie Kumar's newest venture only two blocks away or Chef Scott Crawford's Jolie, stepping past Raleigh's oak-lined sidewalks and historic Oakwood homes, and arriving at your own front door. Inside, the evening continues around a table in your dedicated formal dining room, with a bottle from the wine fridge, or perhaps bourbon from the hidden pantry, and finishing touches set in motion from your phone with the Café smart appliance package.
This home was designed for those who love the James Beard life—a kitchen worthy of Raleigh's celebrated culinary scene. A large quartz island anchors the space, framed by custom cabinetry with glass uppers, butler's pantry, wine fridge, and professional-grade Café appliances including a 6-burner gas range. Hosting becomes effortless, whether it's Sunday brunch, a weeknight dinner party, or a multi-course tasting menu fit for a Garden & Gun article.
The open plan flows to a gracious covered porch blending indoors with a private backyard. Upstairs, the nearly 1,000 SF primary suite offers trey ceilings, dual walk-in closets, spa-level bath with soaking tub and oversized shower, plus a covered balcony perfect for morning coffee and the famous cinnamon bun from Yellow Dog Bread Company.
Flexibility is built in: main-level guest suite/office with full bath, two upstairs flex rooms, and a floored 700 SF third floor perfect for a media room, gym, or theater. Hardwood floors throughout, a custom mudroom, bench, ample storage, dedicated laundry room, designer lighting, add everyday luxury.
Step outside and Raleigh's food scene is at your feet: Optimist Coffee, Standard Beer + Food, Oakwood Pizza Box, Person Street favorites, and some of the nation's most acclaimed restaurants—Ajja, Crawford & Son, Jolie, Poole's Diner, Death & Taxes, Cortez, Stanbury, and more.
At 712 Van Buren, dinner is never just dinner. It's The James Beard Life—a lifestyle woven into the very fabric of downtown Raleigh.
