At A Glance

A century-old landmark that pays its own way.

Originally constructed circa 1922 for Charles A. Wallin and William R. Trull, and converted after World War II into four income-producing apartments, as was common for Raleigh's grand residences. A comprehensive 2023 renovation updated the kitchens, bathrooms, and mechanical systems while keeping the stained glass, the mantels, and the porches.

The House

Built in 1922. Working since 1945.

The Wallin-Trull House was originally constructed circa 1922 for Charles A. Wallin and William R. Trull. Following World War II, as was common for many of Raleigh's grand residences, the home was converted into four income-producing apartments. The conversion never stripped its character: the leaded and stained glass, the carved mantel, and the heart-pine floors are still here.

A comprehensive 2023 renovation brought the house current where it counts. Updated kitchens, updated bathrooms, and new mechanical systems run quietly behind the historic fabric, so the new work disappears into the old house.

Three units are occupied by long-term tenants, and the fourth operates as a highly successful month-to-month Airbnb. The result is immediate cash flow with future flexibility, for an investor who wants a stabilized asset or an owner-occupant who wants the house to help carry itself. Ample parking sits in the rear lot, off the alley.

The History

A Named House

Wallin-Trull is not a marketing name. It is the circa-1922 house's own record, standing in Historic Glenwood-Brooklyn for a century.

The Renovation

2023, Top To Bottom

Kitchens, bathrooms, and mechanical systems updated throughout, with the historic character deliberately preserved.

The Income

Four Doors, Day One

Three long-term tenants plus a month-to-month Airbnb: cash flow now, flexibility later.

The Details

What a century leaves behind.

Four Renovated Residences

A quadruplex since the postwar years, with all four apartments carried through the 2023 renovation: kitchens, baths, and systems.

Income In Place

Three units held by long-term tenants and a fourth run as a successful month-to-month Airbnb. The rent roll arrives with the keys.

Original Stained Glass

Leaded and stained-glass windows in greens, golds, and blues survive in the baths, doors, and stairwells across the house.

Heart-Pine Floors

Refinished original wood floors run through the apartments, from the front rooms to the stair treads.

Rear Parking, Alley Access

Ample parking in the rear lot with alley access keeps Glenwood Avenue's face intact and the tenants' cars off the street.

The Neighborhood

Glenwood-Brooklyn, on foot.

Historic Glenwood-Brooklyn is one of Raleigh's earliest streetcar neighborhoods, and 1110 Glenwood sits on its main artery. Five Points and Hayes Barton are up the avenue, Glenwood South's restaurants and nightlife are down it, and Downtown Raleigh is minutes beyond.

That walkability is the engine behind the rent roll. Long-term tenants stay for the location, and the Airbnb books for the same reason.
