Experience elevated Inside-the-Beltline living in this beautifully crafted custom home, where sophisticated design meets effortless everyday comfort. Thoughtfully designed for entertaining and modern living, the open floor plan flows seamlessly from the chef's kitchen to inviting gathering spaces and outdoor retreats. The stunning kitchen serves as the heart of the home, featuring marble countertops, an oversized island, professional-grade appliances, a walk-in pantry, and butler's pantry. A custom breakfast banquette creates the perfect spot for morning coffee, casual dinners, or catching up with friends, while the adjacent living room offers a cozy fireplace and French doors leading to the covered slate patio. Exceptional craftsmanship is evident throughout, from detailed moldings to the dramatic staircase accented by a custom wood ceiling and floor-to-ceiling windows. Hardwood floors extend through the main living areas and the luxurious primary suite. The private owner's retreat offers a true escape, complete with a spa-inspired bath and expansive walk-in closet. Additional bedrooms provide comfortable accommodations for guests, while the finished third floor offers incredible flexibility for a media lounge, home gym, executive office, golf simulator, game room, or creative studio. Outdoor living shines with a covered slate patio designed for grilling, entertaining, or unwinding at the end of the day. The fenced yard, detached two-car garage, and low-maintenance lifestyle make this home ideal for those who value both luxury and convenience. Perfectly positioned in one of Raleigh's most desirable neighborhoods, you're just 300 feet from the park, 1 mile from Whole Foods & Wade Avenue, 2 miles from Village District shopping and dining, 8 minutes from downtown Raleigh, and only 15 minutes from RDU Airport. Whether you're walking the dog at the park, heading downtown, catching a flight, meeting friends for dinner, or enjoying a quiet evening at home, this location puts everything within easy reach. As an added conversation piece for hockey fans, this home was previously owned by a Carolina Hurricanes player! (Hardwood floors are being sanded and refinished this week. Showings will resume on Monday, June 8.)
