A magnificent stone home sits prominently on a .95-acre lot in the coveted Country Club Hills neighborhood, brimming with amenities and spectacular design. The powerhouse team of Marlowe Builders, designer Carter Skinner, interior decorator Carmen Honeycutt, and landscape architect Frank Liggett created a stunning oasis in the heart of Raleigh. Warmth and sophistication abound from the double-door entry and custom staircase complete with wrought-iron pickets, flanked by spacious living and dining rooms. Adjoining the generous family room is the state-of-the-art kitchen, with a sweeping center island, Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, and a sunny breakfast nook lined with French doors. Through the accordion doors to the porch are Infratech ceiling heaters, skylights, a stone fireplace, bluestone pavers, and retractable screens looking out into the idyllic backyard scape: a salt-water pool with integrated hot tub and cottage, and a vast lawn with custom firepit, trimmed by mature trees. Each room is in keeping with the high standards of the home, including the wood-paneled study and peaceful guest room with ensuite bathroom. The second floor features a spa-like primary bedroom retreat, rear window wall overlooking the serene backyard, complete with vanities, walk-in shower, and a DXV soaking tub. Four remaining remaining bedrooms also boast oversized windows, ample space, and large closets. The lowest level of the home offers a rec/media room with wet bar, projection TV, and adjoining flex space. Opposite the center hall, a mudroom leads to the 3-car garage and picturesque grounds. The stone-lined, tinted concrete driveway and motor court offer ample parking to round out this exceptional property.
