An address so private, most who pass by never know it exists. Here, on a lush and level 1.10-acre parcel canopied by mature hardwoods, sits a residence that redefines refined living. The arrival experience alone sets the tone: a dramatic entry crowned by soaring 20-foot ceilings, where eight majestic windows cascade natural light across the great room below. A sculptural catwalk gracefully bridges the home's two wings, offering the primary suite an entirely private domain that is secluded, serene, and worlds away from the everyday. Spanning an impressive 3,858 square feet, the residence unfolds across four generously appointed bedrooms, a bonus room, and versatile flex space, perfectly suited for a private study, fitness studio, or media retreat. A thoughtfully situated first-floor in-law suite offers effortless single-level living for multigenerational families or visiting guests, blending privacy with convenience. Below, a 2,139-square-foot unfinished basement that is already framed and plumbed awaits its transformation into a bespoke wine cellar, home theater, or guest quarters, offering a rare canvas for further refinement. Beyond its walls, the estate reveals a masterfully landscaped grounds where beauty and function intertwine. Roses, wildflowers, lantana, and butterfly bushes create a living tapestry across the fully fenced grounds. Beneath the whisper-quiet shade of mature trees, a screened porch invites quiet reflection, while a newly finished, oversized deck sets the stage for unforgettable evenings beneath the stars. A curated fire pit anchors the outdoor experience, and for the sporting enthusiast, an inground basketball court awaits on the expansive motor court. A charming, custom-built chicken coop lends an air of pastoral elegance which is just a nod to gracious country living, yet minutes from all conveniences. A three-car garage completes the estate with effortless functionality. Just beyond the gates, a half mile away, lies the storied beauty of B. W. Wells Park. This is a hidden natural treasure of centuries-old trees, meandering paved paths, and sweeping views along the shimmering waters of Falls Lake, known intimately only to those fortunate enough to call this enclave home. This is not simply a residence; it is a legacy property. A private world unto itself, where craftsmanship, nature, and timeless design converge. An offering this rare seldom lasts, especially considering that all of the surrounding homes are well over the million dollar price tag. Finish out the basement, and that's what you will have; a million (plus) dollar home. Schedule your private tour today.
