305 Dartmouth Road

A striking expression of contemporary luxury, 305 Dartmouth Road is an exceptional 2026 Parade of Homes entry by DJF Builders, bringing bold architectural design and uncompromising craftsmanship to one of Raleigh's most coveted North Hills addresses. Encompassing approximately 6,363 square feet, this remarkable residence offers five bedroom suites, seven full and two half baths, with an impressive collection of spaces designed for sophisticated entertaining, wellness, and elevated everyday living. A dramatic motor court introduces the residence, framed by dual two-car garages with glass doors and a striking all-brick exterior, standing-seam metal roof, and expansive aluminum-clad Weather Shield casement windows. Inside, soaring walls of glass fill the home with natural light, while a spectacular floating curved staircase with curved glass railings serves as an architectural centerpiece. The interiors embrace a refined, minimalist aesthetic with custom drywall returns at every window and door and no traditional baseboards, creating clean, uninterrupted lines that reinforce the home's sophisticated modern design. At the heart of the residence, the chef's kitchen pairs dramatic natural quartzite countertops with custom cabinetry by Allen & Sons, an oversized island, and professional-grade Thermador appliances. An adjoining scullery provides extensive secondary prep with additional built-in refrigeration, while a striking temperature-controlled wine display creates a dramatic architectural feature adjacent to the dining space. The main level is thoughtfully arranged with both the owner's suite and a private guest suite. The owner's retreat features a spa-inspired bath with dual vanities, freestanding soaking tub, refined stone finishes, and an expansive custom dressing room. A private study with dramatic illuminated built-ins provides an equally impressive space for working from home. Upstairs, three additional bedroom suites are complemented by expansive recreation and flex spaces, along with a dedicated gym featuring a private sauna and steam shower, creating a second level equally suited for recreation, wellness, and guests. The connection between indoor and outdoor living is equally impressive. Expansive glass doors open the primary living spaces to a resort-inspired setting anchored by a heated pool and spa. The substantial covered outdoor living area features an outdoor kitchen, fireplace, retractable screens, Infratech ceiling heaters, and a dedicated exterior bathroom, allowing the space to function as a true extension of the home. Located in the heart of North Hills, this residence represents a rare convergence of dramatic contemporary architecture, exceptional craftsmanship, and resort-caliber amenities. Created as a showcase residence for the 2026 Parade of Homes, this extraordinary property delivers a distinctly modern interpretation of luxury living in one of Raleigh's most sought-after locations.
