Welcome to an extraordinary custom estate in the exclusive gated community of Creedmoor Manor. Nestled on a beautifully landscaped .92-acre homesite backing directly to the protected Falls Lake Nature Preserve, this custom-built Wagoner Homes masterpiece offers an extraordinary combination of privacy, luxury, and timeless design. Featuring 4 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, 4,641 square feet, and a 4-car garage, homes with this level of privacy and protected natural views rarely become available. Designed for both everyday living and exceptional entertaining, the open-concept floor plan showcases elevated designer finishes throughout, including Restoration Hardware lighting, handcrafted Zellige tile, limewash walls, exposed beams, and stunning tongue-and-groove ceilings. The chef's kitchen is truly remarkable, featuring premium Fulgor Milano appliances, a dramatic quartz waterfall island, pot filler, built-in refrigerator, ice maker, wine cooler, and an incredible scullery/prep kitchen complete with a second oven, dishwasher, sink, additional cabinetry, and wine cooler. Expansive stacking sliding glass doors create a seamless transition to an extraordinary outdoor living space centered around a resort-style heated saltwater pool and spa surrounded by an expansive travertine terrace with multiple areas for lounging and entertaining. A vaulted covered porch featuring Phantom screens, TimberTech decking, and a floor-to-ceiling painted stone fireplace provides the perfect year-round retreat, while breathtaking views of the protected Falls Lake Nature Preserve create an unmatched backdrop of privacy and natural beauty. At the heart of the home, the spectacular family room is designed to bring everyone together. A dramatic floor-to-ceiling painted stone fireplace with a modern linear gas insert is flanked by floating white oak shelves, while expansive stacking sliding glass doors flood the space with natural light and create a seamless connection to the outdoor living areas and the tranquil wooded preserve beyond. Retreat to the luxurious main-level primary suite, thoughtfully designed as a private sanctuary. Vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, serene views of the wooded preserve, and a spa-inspired bath featuring a freestanding soaking tub, oversized zero-entry shower, dual marble vanities, and a custom walk-in closet with direct access to the laundry room create an exceptional owner's retreat. The thoughtfully designed floor plan also includes a private office with custom built-ins, a main-level in-law suite with its own en-suite bath, two additional upstairs bedrooms, a spacious media/recreation room with built-ins and beverage center, a versatile flex room ideal for a home gym or second office, and abundant unfinished walk-in storage. Additional luxury features include a whole-house standby generator, whole-home water filtration system, upgraded audio/video system, integrated security cameras, professionally designed landscaping with irrigation, raised garden beds, and a fully fenced backyard. Perfectly positioned just minutes from Falls Lake recreation, Downtown Wake Forest, shopping, dining, I-540, Raleigh, RTP, and RDU Airport, this extraordinary residence offers a rare opportunity to enjoy refined custom craftsmanship, resort-style amenities, and the tranquility of one of the Triangle's most spectacular natural settings.
