This home beautifully blends classic Craftsman charm with Transitional elegance, inside and out. Step into a thoughtfully designed open-concept kitchen and living space—perfect for modern living and entertaining. If you love natural light, this home delivers! Tall windows on all sides flood every room with sunlight throughout the day and across all seasons, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Take note of the high-end finishes and thoughtful details throughout: built-in hallway cabinetry, interior transom windows, crown molding, quartz and granite countertops, luxury light fixtures and ceiling fans, premium tile, site-finished hardwood floors, slate stone front steps, a wrap-around porch, and a spacious patio. Energy-efficient features include a tankless water heater, radiant barrier roof sheathing, sealed crawlspace, and smart thermostats—designed for comfort and savings. The first floor welcomes you with a charming foyer featuring transom windows, wainscoting, built-ins, and crown molding. The gourmet kitchen opens to a large family room with a gas fireplace, a breakfast room, and a butler's pantry. The breakfast room is large enough for full-size dining, giving you the flexibility to use the formal dining room as an office, den, or flex space. The butler's pantry includes glass-front upper cabinets, a wine fridge, and a deep walk-in pantry. A first-floor guest suite with direct access to a ¾ bath and walk-in shower offers a perfect retreat for guests or a second primary suite. Upstairs, the second floor features a spacious hallway with built-ins, a luxurious primary suite, two additional bedrooms, and a laundry room. The primary suite includes a spa-like bath with soaking tub, walk-in shower, water closet, and a huge walk-in closet with built-in shelving and drawers. The secondary bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath with separate vanities and walk-in closets. The third floor offers a large bonus or flex room with a ¾ bath and walk-in shower, plus a 500+ sq ft walk-in attic—ideal for storage or future expansion. Back on the main floor, step through French doors to the screened-in porch with skylights, ceiling fan, built-in speakers, and TV pre-wiring. From there, head down to the 18-foot-wide slate patio overlooking a fully fenced backyard with gated access on both sides—one wide enough for a vehicle. You'll also find a custom 12'x12' shed with double doors, a window, lofted shelving, fiber cement siding, and ramp access. This home offers the perfect combination of location, design, quality, and functionality—a rare find in one of Raleigh's most desirable neighborhoods.
