Architect-designed and full of character, this Sarah Susanka Craftsman is a true jewel box tucked away on 1.8 private wooded acres in Raleigh. Thoughtfully crafted with exceptional attention to detail, the home showcases solid oak floors with Brazilian cherry inlay, rich stained trim, custom built-ins, and timeless architectural elements throughout. The spacious layout offers over 4,000 sqft of living space with 4 bedrooms and 4 full baths, including a first-floor guest suite and a finished daylight basement with full bath - ideal for guests, recreation, or additional living space. The kitchen blends beauty and function with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a gas cooktop, glass tile backsplash, and walk-in pantry. Signature design moments - like the charming window seat, built-in shelving, and statement fireplace - create warmth, character, and inviting spaces throughout the home. Outdoor living shines with a welcoming covered front porch, screened porch, and deck overlooking the fenced backyard and peaceful wooded surroundings - perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Additional highlights include a Generac generator, oversized driveway, Hubbardton Forge hand-crafted light fixtures, and an unfinished room over the 2-car garage offering potential for future expansion. A rare opportunity to own a distinctive, architecturally inspired home where craftsmanship, comfort, and natural beauty come together beautifully.
