Exquisite award-winning 4 bedroom custom-built home in the heart of Downtown Raleigh! Featured in NCModernist, this Victorian-Revival modern masterpiece was meticulously designed with the help of architect Brett Hautop of Vernacular Studios, capturing the essence of modern luxury, traditional character, comfortable living, stylish finishes, and exceptional craftsmanship in every detail of this property. Despite the close proximity to the vibrant amenities, lifestyle, and conveniences that Downtown Raleigh offers, this home was intentionally built as a tranquil urban sanctuary from the busy city life. It offers a level of seamless indoor + outdoor living, design, and privacy rarely found in a walkable urban setting like this. High ceilings create an open airy feel and expansive windows + glass doors provide an abundance of natural light while still being carefully placed to maintain privacy. The main level boasts soaring 14ft ceilings, featuring an open living area layout that hosts the family room, gourmet eat-in kitchen and the dining area in between - which includes large NanaWall accordion-style glass doors that open to an expansive patio and private courtyard enclosed with a stone privacy wall. Large patio is perfect for dining al-fresco or hosting guests, and it is prewired with Bose speakers. Courtyard features equally-meticulous landscaping and lighting, plus mature Cherry and Maple trees for further privacy and curb appeal. Gourmet kitchen features Silestone countertops and kitchen island, Subzero refrigerator, new Kitchen-aid dishwasher & new 5-burner gas range stove, glass backsplash, under-cabinet lighting, and hardwood cabinetry. First-floor guest suite with a private entrance and en-suite bath with marble tops and a green tile walk-in-shower. Main level also includes a dropzone/mudroom area with a half bath, and a huge laundry room with a sink, counters and cabinets. Back entrance leads to an enclosed outdoor area with a firepit, and the detached 2-car garage, which also features ample storage space plus a large attic area. One of the most notable and complex architectural features of this design is the 28ft stone tower clad in Tennessee Ledgestone. This tower not only gives the home a defining Victorian-era quality, but also encases a magnificent 2-story floating spiral staircase. Upstairs you'll find a charming sitting/living area that links 2 well-appointed bedrooms and a shared full bath w/ double vanity, hex tile and marble tops. Massive primary suite includes a gorgeous sun-patio (also accessible from the second-floor landing) that overlooks the courtyard, a large custom walk-in closet, and a spa-like bath enveloped in Travertine stone—from the flooring, walls, backsplash, countertops and all throughout the walk-in-shower. Bath also features a soaking tub, built-in wooden shelving, and private windows for natural light. There are 10ft ceilings on the second floor and 8ft ceilings in the 3rd-floor bonus room, which includes a large living area with built-in bench seating and some skyline views. There are many possibilities for recreation, home office, entertainment, etc (plus 2 walk-in attic spaces for further finishing or storage). This property is also equipped with a brand-new high-efficiency Trane HVAC system (also under warranty), smart home technology & security system, and a Level 2 EV charger. Not only was this home designed to have stunning curb appeal with its modern facade, but it was also built with every detail in mind for dynamic indoor & outdoor living, comfort, and tranquility. It is just steps away from all that Downtown offers, yet far enough to enjoy peace and quiet. Located nearby shops, restaurants, entertainment, freeway access, modern conveniences, beautiful parks and walking trails, and so much more. This home is truly one-of-a-kind.
