At A Glance

A 1922 landmark that pays its own way.

The Wallin-Trull House holds four self-contained residences behind one historic facade. Three are leased to long-term tenants and the fourth operates as a month-to-month Airbnb, so the income starts the day of closing. A comprehensive 2023 renovation handled the kitchens, bathrooms, and mechanical systems.

The Gallery

Walk the house at dusk. Porch by porch, pane by pane.

The photography catches what a century leaves behind: stained and leaded glass in nearly every room, heart-pine floors, original mantels, and porches on both stories, lit at the end of the day.

Rear elevation of 1110 Glenwood Ave at twilight, with a two-story covered porch, white railings, twin staircases, and lit lanterns — The rear elevation at dusk. Two stories of covered porch, twin staircases, lanterns lit.

Living room at 1110 Glenwood Ave with an original white fireplace mantel and marble surround, hardwood floors, and a paneled door — An original mantel, kept. Marble surround under century-old millwork.

Kitchen with sage-green lower cabinets, whitewashed uppers, white appliances, and heart-pine floors flowing through an archway to the living area — Sage cabinets and heart pine, through the arch.

Triple window with leaded and beveled glass medallions in the flanking panes, looking out to the street and trees — Leaded and beveled glass, still in its frames.

Bathroom with an olive-green painted tub, marble mosaic floor, beadboard wainscot, and a green stained-glass window — The olive tub under stained glass.

Front porch at dusk with white French doors, lit lantern sconces on gray siding, and leaded-glass windows beyond — The front porch, lanterns on.

Renovated kitchen with charcoal cabinets, slate refrigerator, stainless chimney range hood, and a window over the sink — One of four kitchens, redone in 2023.

Covered upper rear porch at dusk with two ceiling fans, herringbone-laid decking, and doors lit by sconces — The upper porch, fans turning, decking laid in herringbone.

“A comprehensive 2023 renovation introduced updated kitchens, bathrooms, and mechanical systems while preserving the property's historic character.”

The House

A grand residence that learned to earn.

The house went up circa 1922 for Charles A. Wallin and William R. Trull, and it still carries their names. It was one of the grand residences of Glenwood-Brooklyn, and after World War II it followed the path many of Raleigh's finest houses took: a conversion into four income-producing apartments, each self-contained, all of it behind the original facade.

The 2023 renovation was comprehensive where it should be and restrained where it must be. Kitchens, bathrooms, and mechanical systems are new. The heart-pine floors, the stained and leaded glass, the mantels, the beadboard, and the arched doorways are not. Every unit got the update; the house kept its century.

Three residences are held by long-term tenants. The fourth runs as a highly successful month-to-month Airbnb, which means the cash flow is immediate and the flexibility is real: keep it operating, re-lease it, or move in yourself. A rear parking area with alley access handles cars without touching the streetscape.

The Income

Earning On Day One

Three long-term tenants in place and a highly successful month-to-month Airbnb in the fourth unit. The ledger is already running.

The Flexibility

Owner-Occupant Ready

The Airbnb unit is month-to-month by design, leaving a door open for an owner to live in the landmark while the other three pay it down.

The Parking

Rear Lot, Alley Access

Ample parking behind the house, reached from the alley, so the front lawn and brick walk stay exactly as 1922 intended.

The Details

What a century earns.

Four Residences

Four self-contained apartments under one historic roof, a configuration this house has held since the years after World War II.

The 2023 Renovation

Updated kitchens, bathrooms, and mechanical systems across the building. The expensive, invisible work is already done.

The Glass Of 1922

Stained and leaded glass survives throughout the house: checkered door lights, beveled window medallions, arched accent panes.

Porches, Doubled

A full-width front porch on Glenwood Avenue and a two-story covered porch at the rear, with twin staircases and ceiling fans.
