An invitation to traditional, splendid grandeur starts from the moment you pull down the cherry blossom lined drive of 400 Tharps Lane. Set on an expansive and highly coveted corner lot in the prestigious, serene Swan's Mill neighborhood of North Raleigh, this estate-like, optional 6-bedroom property offers a generous canvas of opportunity throughout every square foot. Emerging from the alluring circular drive and stepping through the front door, you are immediately ensconced in the home's incredible ceiling heights, which carry on throughout the entirety of the property. Turn left and you'll find a spacious reception room with hardwood floors, which then flows into a first-floor bedroom perfectly convertible for a secondary primary suite. A strategic renovation made by the current owners allows for you to meld from the reception room into the open-plan kitchen, which features stainless steel appliances, a plethora of cabinetry and an inviting, granite-topped island. The kitchen combines with a cavernous family room that boasts nearly floor-to-ceiling windows allowing for an abundance of natural light and a wood-burning fireplace adding the unmistakable allure of coziness. The sprawling first floor continues with an expansive mud room, oversized two-car garage with workshop space capability, easily accessible laundry room, and a unique fitness studio grounded for all functional needs. Take either of the two staircases upstairs where the opportunity for creativity continues with a grand primary suite inclusive an impressive closet, and a unique attached sitting room / office space customizable for your family's needs. The floor's three additional bedrooms offer endless space and storage within each, as well as accompanying bathrooms in the form of ensuites and hall-access. The gem of the second floor comes to life in the colossal bonus room, a distinctive space complete with modern built-ins and a malleable layout perfect for designing your ideal usage. The residence is capped by a third-floor hideaway and accompanying bathroom, creating the optionality for an additional bedroom or ideal for a larger office space. Copious amounts of storage abound across the upper levels and an unfinished attic space. Pivoting to the exterior, this established abode is equipped with a breathtaking, flat, and private backyard prime for a pool or any other outdoor activities which is overlooked by an idyllic screened-in porch and multi-layer deck. This brick property is also pleasantly positioned within walking distance to the community pool, tennis courts and the calming Swan's Mill pond. Beneath the surface, this home has been lovingly cared for with endless ''behind the scenes'' improvements, offering peace of mind to any future owners.
Not merely a residence, 400 Tharps Lane is a captivating, majestic home in one of the most manicured neighborhoods in North Raleigh, and it is ready for its next composition.
