Nestled at the end of a winding and quiet cul-de-sac, on a stunning wedge-shaped lot bordered by a babbling brook, this incredible 5000+ square foot home is minutes from almost everything. 10 minutes from RDU airport and inside I-540, a quick commute can easily get you downtown or to RTP while still offering highly rated schools and amenities. Every update to this home, from the gorgeous outdoor spaces to the bathroom renovations, has been carefully considered and there is much to highlight, but what may make it most special are the two full kitchens and entertaining spaces. The full basement offers the ability to host HUGE GATHERINGS, as this seller did, or provide an additional full living space including an outdoor patio and dedicated entrance. The FULL BASEMENT KITCHEN offers maple cabinetry with a pull-out hidden beverage cabinet, granite countertops, gas range, sink, and space for a full-sized refrigerator. Just off of the basement kitchen and massive recreation room/family room is the CUSTOM-DESIGNED THEATER with 7-point surround sound, theater lighting, projector, and walls constructed for sound buffering. The basement is completed with a gym and bedroom suite. Looking for a spot that is less ''exciting'' and more ''relaxing''? Several spots could do. The shaded, private backyard is peppered with custom landscaping and custom low-voltage outdoor lighting. Relax on a hammock and watch the wildlife tiptoe through the HOA maintained area behind the fence or lounge in the main-floor 4-season room that offers incredible views of dogwoods, maples, and oaks. If the weather is balmy, open the screens and enjoy the scent of fully matured gardenias from the backyard. The powered shades offer screening and privacy at the touch of a remote while keeping the views of the hardwood canopy outside. The main-floor kitchen boasts 18 cabinets, 13 drawers, a drop-zone, a walk-in pantry, and an abundance of prep space all while giving you beautiful views through the 4-season room. The second floor offers fully renovated bathrooms with quartz countertops, upgraded fixtures, and stunning tilework. The second-floor primary suite has beautiful views of the stunning backyard, a refinished bathroom with a large, fully tiled shower, jetted tub, and a MASSIVE WALK-IN CLOSET system designed by Closets By Design. As if all of this weren't enough, the 4th floor is a walk-up unfinished space ready for storage or yet another living space. Don't let this one pass you by!
