Exceptional North Raleigh estate, built by Richard Gaylord Homes, blending timeless architecture with refined modern updates. Beautifully situated on private .93-acre homesite framed by mature hardwoods. The home's stately brick-and-stone exterior, circular driveway, and welcoming covered front porch create a memorable first impression. Inside, exquisite craftsmanship is evident throughout. The formal dining room showcases tall wainscoting and tray ceiling, creating an elegant space designed for entertaining. At the heart of the home, a centrally positioned living room invites you in, with double French doors opening to serene backyard views and a gas fireplace framed with custom-built bookcases. The remodeled kitchen is a true showpiece, featuring floor-to-ceiling cabinetry with glass accents, a large quartz-topped island with pendant lighting, Wolf range plus a KitchenAid built-in refrigerator, wall oven, and microwave. A thoughtfully designed open scullery with a sink and beverage fridge connects the kitchen to walk-in pantry. The light-filled breakfast room stuns with an eight-sided, wood-paneled tray ceiling, while the expansive family room, open to the kitchen, offers a second gas fireplace and seamless flow for everyday living. The luxurious primary suite serves as a private retreat, complete with a sitting room and gas fireplace. The fully remodeled spa-like bath features a large walk-in shower, dual vanities with quartz counters, heated floors, towel warmer, two walk-in closets, and a private water closet. A first-floor guest bedroom impresses with a vaulted coffered ceiling, wainscoting, walk-in closet, and direct access to a full bath. Upstairs, a junior primary suite boasts a vaulted ceiling, oversized walk-in closet, and ensuite bath with dual vanities, walk-in shower, and water closet. Two additional bedrooms, each with generous walk-in closets, share a Jack-and-Jill bath. The second level is a homeowner's dream, offering a home gym, a spacious bonus room with wet bar, half bath, and pool table, plus an adjoining media room equipped with an overhead projector and ample comfortable seating. A third-floor flex space with a walk-in closet provides endless possibilities for a home office, playroom, or game room. Outdoor living is equally impressive! The patio area provides a wood-burning fireplace, built-in grill, and pizza oven for year-round enjoyment under the stars.
