Exemplifying European-inspired elegance, this 7,100+ sq foot residence is surrounded by enchanting gardens, manicured lawns and multiple courtyards. The interior was completely renovated in 2008 with bespoke, modern finishes of the finest quality. The focal point is the two-story foyer with its grand, winding staircase perfectly framed by an impressive 15-foot wall of windows. Outdoor living is highlighted by a full grilling/kitchen area, lushly landscaped grounds and terraced brick patios, including the perfect spot for al fresco dining. A canopy of Japanese maples shades each of the seating areas. A quiet stream runs just behind the property, providing the ideal setting for outdoor entertaining or quiet reflection. A state-of-the-art kitchen, with its high-end, stainless appliances, 60” inset cabinetry and huge center island, functions as the heart of the home. Flanked by a sunny breakfast room and second kitchen prep area, the entire space opens to the backyard oasis. Located on a private, ¾-acre, cul-de-sac lot, this home is convenient to every amenity Raleigh has to offer, yet feels worlds apart.
