An architect designed home, built in consideration for the lot and the location in Raleigh. This is a true next generation residence for the 21st Century, yet one that is rooted firmly in one of the best original neighborhoods in the Triangle, Forest Park. Three pocket parks and charming original homes, all connected by tree-lined walkable streets. An ease of living on site with a slab foundation, open layout and 36" doors. Abundance of natural light capturing southern exposure, but balancing that with privacy, verdant screening, and meaningful outdoor patios. Vaulted ceilings in all second floor bedrooms yield spaces that feel unique at every turn. Beautifully polished concrete flooring on the main floor connect custom features such as kitchen cabinetry by Bo Taylor & imported grasscloth wall coverings, enhancing a biophilic warmth that is not only fun to see in person, but even more as a home in which to reside. The striking modern red metal exterior and silver roof are a statement, but also aid in durability for peace of mind. The property also includes an integrated koi pond, oversized garage with HVAC for cars or workout space, and an incredible studio apartment that could be incorporated into the main house in the future. Driving to amenities is naturally easy, but walking is a true reality. The Village District, Downtown or close-by favorite Raleigh institutions such as Irregardless, Trophy Brewing and the Players Retreat are all in consideration as a walk from home. No stone left unturned here. An unexpected property and extraordinary opportunity.
