Custom-designed by Carter Skinner and built by John C. Sanders, this timeless estate is ideally positioned in Drewry Hills, backing to the Crabtree Creek Greenway and offering rare privacy just minutes from North Hills. This exceptional home blends timeless architecture with refined, livable elegance on one of Raleigh's most coveted streets. A gracious curved staircase sets the tone upon entry, complemented by exquisite moldings, custom millwork, and thoughtfully designed living spaces throughout. Elegant formal spaces include a dining room with Parisian-inspired ceiling detail and a richly appointed study with mahogany paneling, coffered ceiling, and built-in bookcases. The chef's kitchen is beautifully equipped with Taj Mahal quartzite countertops, custom cabinetry, center island, double ovens, high end energy efficient induction cooktop (also plumbed for gas stove option), large walk-in pantry, and butler's pantry with beverage fridge. A light-filled breakfast room flows seamlessly into the sunroom, creating inviting everyday living spaces. The family room, anchored by built-ins and a gas fireplace, opens, as does the sunroom, to a covered bluestone terrace with wood-burning fireplace--ideal for year-round entertaining. Steps lead to an expansive bluestone patio with built-in grill, generous private yard with room for a pool or spa, all overlooking the peaceful wooded backdrop of Crabtree Creek Greenway. The main-level primary suite is a true retreat, featuring a gas log fireplace with sitting area, dual walk-in closets, and a luxurious spa-like bath. Upstairs, three spacious en-suite bedrooms, a second laundry room, and walk-up access to a two-story attic provide exceptional functionality and storage. The architect designed this space with the option for an additional bedroom if needed. The walk-out lower level is designed for both entertaining and everyday living, featuring a billiards room with a wet bar, beverage fridge, dishwasher, and microwave. There is also a sitting room with gas fireplace and built-ins, a fitness room, and eight seat theater with 9' Diagonal Screen, Overhead Projector, and a 9.2 Channel Surround Sound System. In addition to a three-car garage prewired for 220V EV charging, the home has also been pre-wired for a main floor generator. The custom home was thoughtfully designed with numerous energy saving features, including 2x6 construction with increased insulation, a geothermal HVAC system (up to 60% savings vs. conventional HVAC), 15 Solar Panels, blown in polystyrene attic insulation, and an induction cooktop (3x more efficient than gas stove, improved air quality). An elevator provides seamless access to all three finished levels, complemented by thoughtful accessibility features throughout--making this a home that lives beautifully today and for years to come. A rare combination of craftsmanship, setting, and enduring design.
