Property Description
The entire back of the house practically disappears into the landscape thanks to upper windows and oversized sliding glass doors that stretch across the main level. Light pours through the family room, dining room, kitchen, and primary suite, while wooded views replace the usual lineup of neighboring windows. Step outside to the new wraparound rear and side deck and you immediately understand the vibe: coffee in the trees, quiet evenings under string lights, kids playing in the sunny grassy side yard near the kitchen, and enough privacy to forget you're still in Raleigh. The main living spaces flow naturally together, anchored by soaring ceilings, a dramatic fireplace, and walls of glass that keep the outdoors constantly in view.
The kitchen feels connected to the outdoors as much as the home itself, with oversized slider access to the deck and direct sightlines to the sunny side yard. Expansive prep space. New countertops and backsplash. Under-cabinet lighting. High-end Miele double ovens. It's the kind of space that works just as well for slow mornings with coffee and sunlight pouring in as it does for hosting a full house for the weekend.
The main-level primary suite feels like its own private wing with deck access, wooded views, a large walk-in closet, walk-in shower, and updated finishes. A dedicated office on the main floor feels genuinely tucked away--ideal for work calls without hearing the rest of the house.
Upstairs, the loft-style landing overlooks the main living area below, allowing the expansive rear wall of glass to pull natural light deep within both levels of the home. The layout separates the secondary bedrooms for added privacy, connected by the open loft instead of a tight hallway. Both bedrooms feature dual walk-in closets, and the upstairs bath includes a well-appointed dual-sink vanity with a recently updated countertop.
Downstairs, the home shifts into full retreat mode. Oversized sliders bring natural light and wooded views into a lower level that feels more like a private guest residence than a basement. A second stone fireplace anchors the recreation room, while the wet bar sets the stage for movie nights, game days, and long weekends with guests. The lower level also includes a gym/flex room, office/library space, guest suite with full bath, built-ins, multiple gathering areas, and a massive unfinished storage area with exterior access ready for a workshop, studio, golf simulator, or future expansion.
Fresh paint, new carpet, updated lighting, serviced sliders, insulated garage doors with updated openers, whole-house Aquasana filtration, UV purification, steam humidifier integration, and advanced HVAC humidity control add substance behind the style.
Enjoy the privacy of North Raleigh living with quick access to Falls Lake, Annie Louise Wilkerson Nature Preserve, Lafayette Village, RTP, RDU Airport, Six Forks Station, and I-540. Some homes are polished. Some homes are memorable. This one feels like an escape.
