Situated on a beautifully landscaped half-acre lot, this home offers over 4,250 square feet of refined living space -- just minutes from North Hills, top-rated schools, and scenic greenway trails. Inside, soaring ceilings, wide-plank hardwood floors, and thoughtfully curated designer finishes set a sophisticated tone. The main-level primary suite serves as a peaceful retreat, featuring a spa-inspired bath with a freestanding tub, quartz-topped vanities, a frameless glass shower, and a spacious walk-in closet. A first-floor guest suite and private study offer ideal flexibility for multigenerational living or remote work. The heart of the home is the chef's kitchen, outfitted with a professional-grade JennAir appliance package, including a 48'' gas range and built-in refrigerator. A quartz-topped island, custom cabinetry, and a large walk-in scullery make this space as functional as it is beautiful. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the vaulted family room, anchored by a gas fireplace and custom built-ins. Expansive sliding doors open to a flagstone-covered porch featuring an outdoor fireplace—perfect for year-round entertaining. Upstairs, you'll find two spacious en-suite bedrooms, two large bonus rooms, and a dedicated tech/study space offering versatility for today's modern lifestyle. Additional highlights include a three-car garage, a butler's pantry, and a flat, pool-ready backyard surrounded by mature hardwoods for exceptional privacy. This is a rare opportunity to own a truly custom-built home in one of Raleigh's most desirable locations. Move in and experience the very best of Midtown living—elegant, spacious, and effortlessly connected to everything Raleigh has to offer.
