Located in the exclusive Fairview Manor section of Wakefield, this former parade home and exceptional estate has been extensively reimagined with more than $200,000 in recent improvements. Situated on a private, fenced 0.61-acre homesite, the more than 7,000-square-foot residence seamlessly blends timeless architecture with modern luxury. The heart of the home is a completely redesigned chef's kitchen featuring new countertops, appliances, sink, fixtures, and a dedicated coffee and smoothie bar. The main level primary suite offers a newly remodeled spa-inspired bath with a freestanding tub and gorgeous frameless shower, creating a true retreat within the home. With 6 bedrooms and 5 full baths, the floor plan offers remarkable flexibility. A spacious upper-level bonus room has been thoughtfully converted into a private sixth-bedroom suite complete with its own bath, closet, and charming built-in window-seat bed. Major system updates provide peace of mind, including two new HVAC systems, a new water heater, and upgraded LED lighting in the 3-car garage. Rich hardwood floors extend throughout the main and upper levels, while the expansive daylight walkout basement is designed for entertaining and multi-generational living, featuring a kitchenette, wet bar, media room with projector, fitness room, and guest suite. Outdoor living is equally impressive with a screened porch, expansive deck overlooking the large, flat backyard. HOA-approved pool plans will convey, offering the opportunity to create a truly resort-style outdoor retreat. This home offers an extraordinary combination of size, updates, location, and lifestyle in one of North Raleigh's most sought-after communities.
