Property Description

Perfectly positioned on a private corner homesite in one of North Hills' most sought-after locations, this custom residence by Dixon Kirby is a masterclass in architectural detail, craftsmanship, and design. Inside, the home unfolds with warm, layered interiors anchored by expansive windows and walls of glass, filling each space with natural light and framing views of the private yard retreat. Surrounded by mature trees, the setting offers a rare sense of privacy just moments from the energy of North Hills. At the heart of the home, the kitchen is both stunning and highly functional featuring custom cabinetry, marble countertops, a statement custom hood, and a full suite of Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances. The large island anchors the space, complemented by a beautifully appointed butler's pantry with a wine refrigerator and walk-in pantry/scullery, creating a seamless flow for both everyday living and entertaining. Throughout the home, thoughtful design details elevate every space from custom paint and wallpaper to bespoke window coverings, intricate tile work, and extensive trim and millwork. Built-ins are thoughtfully integrated, adding both character and functionality, while a whole-home surround sound system enhances the living experience. The main-level owner's suite is a true retreat, complete with vaulted ceilings and a spa-inspired bath featuring heated floors and a calming, natural palette. Additional bedrooms are generously sized, each with ensuite baths, offering comfort and privacy for family and guests. Designed for how people live today, the home also includes a second-floor laundry room with a dog wash station, a dedicated craft room, and a private exercise space all thoughtfully incorporated without compromising design. Outdoor living is equally exceptional. A heated saltwater pool and spa anchor the backyard, surrounded by lush landscaping, synthetic turf for low maintenance living, and raised garden beds. A covered porch creates the perfect setting for year round enjoyment, while the fenced yard enhances both privacy and functionality. Additional features include a three-car garage, two EV chargers, elevator, and pre-wired for a generator, ensuring both convenience and peace of mind. This is a rare opportunity to own a special custom, design-forward home where every detail has been carefully considered offering a level of quality, comfort, and livability that is simply hard to find in one of Raleigh's premier locations.
