Congratulations. You have arrived. The realization first hits you as you approach the entrance of the La Ventana neighborhood west of Wake Forest and wait for the mechanical gate to grant you access. All of your hard work, your keen financial decisions and your success have led you to this place.

Meander through the wide, winding roads of the neighborhood and appreciate the luxury and privacy this neighborhood offers. Driveways are long here. Houses are set back from the streets. Yards are meticulously maintained. Brick fronts and stacked stone and majestic front porches are beautiful to look at and inviting from a distance. Trees grow in thick stands here and offer a profound connection to nature that a clear-cut, cookie-cutter neighborhood can't provide. Four distinct seasons are intimately tangible here because, not only does the landscape change, but your outdoor activities and your hike to nearby Falls Lake transform too.

7212 Mira Mar Place awaits you on a cul-de-sac street with the elegance of a 4,700+ square foot, custom-built home and the sophistication of a time-honed traditional floorplan. Let your decor choices follow the trends. The foundation of an accomplished home lies in the formal entertaining spaces, vaulted ceilings, expansive windows, large rooms, a separate owners wing (2 bedrooms, 2 baths and his & hers linen closets even!), custom built-in bookcases & display alcoves, site-laid hardwood floors with inlays, 2 staircases, expansive porches & decks, 3-car garage and an inground pool with a waterfall feature, hot tub & poolhouse that offers a full bathroom & a wet bar.

You are invited to read carefully through this listing presentation. Study the photographs and absorb the information each caption provides. But then book a tour and spend at least an hour exploring all facets of the 5-bedroom/5.5 bathroom home and the 2-acre property. The sense of luxury and privacy is difficult to describe in words, but is so easy to feel at 7212 Mira Mar. Come soak in the sunshine, the space and the sense of belonging here.

Congratulations. You have arrived.
