Tucked in a cul de sac beneath a canopy of mature trees, there's a home that just feels different the moment you arrive.

Classic brick. Timeless lines. A setting that offers real privacy, on over an acre in North Raleigh, where mornings start slower and evenings stretch a little longer.

Step inside and it unfolds the way you hope it will. Sunlight pours across hardwood floors and Detailed millwork adds character without trying too hard. Just off the entry, a true home office sits behind double French doors, private, quiet, and exactly where you want it.

The heart of the home is built for real life. A kitchen anchored by a Wolf cooktop and updated appliances opens seamlessly to the family room, where built-ins and a fireplace create a natural place to gather. Around the corner, the kind of mudroom you didn't know you needed, but won't live without: an oversized space with its own island, sink, and walls of cabinetry to keep everything in its place. The walk-in pantry, doubling as a wine cellar, adds just the right touch of personality.

Upstairs is where flexibility takes over. An oversized primary with a wonderful custom closet, three sizable secondary bedrooms, plus a bonus room with its own private stairwell, perfect for movie nights, a playroom, or a tucked-away retreat that feels separate from the rest of the home. There's also a walk-up third floor, ready when you are. Storage now, finished space later.

But it's out back where this home becomes something special.

A wall of glass draws you into a stunning sunroom, where every season is on display. Step outside and you'll find a backyard designed to exhale, a serene koi pond, layered landscaping, a built-in kitchen and the kind of quiet that's hard to come by.

And then there's the flexibility buyers are always searching for: a detached structure with its own oversized garage bay: perfect for a 3rd car, boat and a gym! The finished space above, complete with a full bath and closet is the perfect Guest suite, office, studio: ready to adapt to whatever life looks like next.

With major updates (including 3 new furnaces, 2 new compressors, newer roof and completely repainted interior) and a location just minutes to RDU, RTP, Falls Lake, and zoned for Leesville Road schools, this home brings together space, function, and setting in a way that's hard to replicate.

This isn't just square footage. It's how it lives.
