A Nature Lover's Dream with a Unique Private In-Law Suite. Discover this extraordinary Contemporary home offering complete privacy on 1.45 wooded acres in the sought-after Hunter Hills community of North Raleigh. With striking architectural details, soaring ceilings, and an open layout filled with natural light, this impeccably maintained residence blends modern design with the peaceful ambiance of a true retreat. A Standout Feature: Looking for versatility with style? This home delivers. It includes a magnificent private in-law suite/annex apartment, perfect for guests, extended family, or multigenerational living. Simply close the interior door next to the dining area to create a private residence with its own bedroom suite, full bath, kitchenette, laundry hookups, private deck, and separate front and rear entrances. This feature offers a fully independent living option while seamlessly integrating into the main home. The main level includes three spacious bedrooms, two of them primary suites, plus three full baths and one half bath. Upstairs, a loft with dramatic architectural lines offers open living space and a flex room—ideal for an office, studio, reading nook, or even a fourth bedroom with private lounge and half bath. The open living-dining-kitchen area is perfect for entertaining or everyday living, framed by woodland views and skylights that bring the outdoors in. Relax by the fireplace or step outside to one of two expansive decks to enjoy morning coffee, outdoor dining, or the serenity of nature. Recent updates include two HVAC systems (one new in 2024) and a new built-in cooktop and oven and patio doors. A long driveway with red pavers and ample parking adds both charm and convenience. An exceptional blend of architecture, privacy, and multigenerational versatility, just minutes from RTP, RDU Airport, Duke University, and everything Raleigh has to offer.
