Description
A real estate sale at 2345 New Bern Ave violates the policy boundary of the North King Charles NCOD. Commercial to the east of Peartree, residential west of Peartree. The property is west on the corner of New Bern and Longview Lake Drive. The property is R-4, they have it listed and advertised as “commercial land” without rezoning first. We have contacted CBC – Trademark Commercial. When the realtor (Wallace Green) was approached, he simply removed a “commercial redevelopment” notice from his sign on New Bern. He left all other advertising (internet, flyer, signage, company listing) as was. Furthermore, his listing makes reference to an “additional 1.5 acres” which is not permitted, if not under contract. I and other East Raleigh citizens consider this a misrepresentation of the property.
Said property is the Thad Eure home, built in 1938, and considered of historic value by many of us.
The home is still firmly zoned as residential:

And Wallace Green is advertising it as commercial:

Your comment is incorrect. This is in violation of North Carolina General Statute, so the realtor is breaking NC law, not just with this property but will additional real estate next to this location. North Carolina Real Estate License Law can be found in Chapter 93A of the General Statutes of North Carolina.
Furthermore, selling a residential property protected under the NCOD as "commercial" or "commercial potential" is in violation with the City and their zoning.
Please keep this item open until the realtor and/or his company complies and corrects any and all listings (internet, flyers, company web site, newspaper, etc.) that so blatantly misrepresent this property. The property is still being advertised as commercial land sale. The property cannot be found under any "residential" search and what little change was made is not prominent enough to be clear. The realtor should not have allowed himself to mislead potential buyers by listing this property incorrectly to begin with.
Thank you.
