Land with Home for Sale in Raleigh, North Carolina

This stunning 9,228 sq ft ALL BRICK ESTATE offers unparalleled luxury and privacy on a sprawling 4.5-acre lot with an oversized 3-car garage. Enter through a grand two-story foyer flanked by both front and rear staircases, and be greeted by elegant formal spaces, a sun-filled family room with fireplace, and a chef's kitchen with center island. The first-floor primary suite is a serene retreat, while the formal living and dining rooms, study, and guest powder rooms provide exceptional functionality. Upstairs, enjoy four additional bedrooms, three full baths, a bonus room, and office, with a walk-up unfinished third floor (1,350 sq ft) ready for future expansion. The 2,600 sq ft fully finished lower level offers exceptional versatility with two bedrooms/offices, a full bath, a home theater, and a kitchen rough-in. With both interior and private exterior access, it's ideal for guests, meetings, hobbies, or personal projects. The expansive driveway provides ample parking, and this flexible space can function as a professional practice area, creative studio, or gathering room-adding impressive value to the home. Step outside to your private oasis: a resort-style pool surrounded by palm trees, enhanced by extensive outdoor lighting and a full outdoor sound system, an under-deck retreat with motorized retractable screens and kitchen plumbing, and a 518 sq ft deck with motorized awning. The front entrance features an elegant Italian marble fountain, architectural lighting, and an outdoor sound system. Mature landscaping, an 17-zone irrigation system, and well water ensure beauty year-round. Electricity costs about $2,100 per year and natural gas about $1,400, with three adults living in the home, reflecting the home's high-efficiency HVAC systems, gas heating, LED lighting, and insulation-resulting in unusually low operating costs for a 9,227 sq ft residence. The well keeps pool and 17-zone irrigation costs very low. Thanks to the motorized cover, salt-cell chlorination, and automatic vacuum, the saltwater pool is extremely low-maintenance-only the skimmer and robot need cleaning every other week in peak season. The Italian marble fountain is also low-maintenance, with automatic level control and auto-fill eliminating the need to add water in summer. Additional highlights include a whole-house intercom with built-in speakers and microphones in every room, a comprehensive security system, combining luxury, technology, and comfort for an exceptional Raleigh/Cary lifestyle.
