Built by Raleigh Custom Homes and designed by acclaimed architect Tony Frazier, this exceptional English Arts & Crafts residence represents one of North Ridge's most compelling turnkey luxury offerings, combining nearly new construction, extensive designer upgrades, and a fully furnished estate-quality presentation. Completed in late 2022 and situated on a beautifully wooded and professionally landscaped 0.612-acre homesite, the residence encompasses approximately 5,399 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space featuring five bedrooms, four full baths, and one half bath. Rich hardwood flooring extends throughout the main level and second-floor foyer, complemented by extensive custom millwork, 7-inch and 9-inch crown moldings, hand-selected Mitzi designer lighting, premium plumbing fixtures, and exceptional architectural detailing throughout. Luxury ceramic and porcelain tile flooring has been thoughtfully incorporated throughout the bathrooms, laundry room, and owner's suite dressing areas. Spa-inspired baths feature designer tile installations, frameless glass shower enclosures, premium fixtures, and custom finishes, while secondary bedrooms are appointed with luxury carpeting and upgraded padding for enhanced comfort and acoustical performance. Architectural details continue throughout the residence, including decorative wood-beamed ceilings in the owner's suite and a vaulted upper-level bedroom suite. Custom wood organizational systems have been installed throughout bedroom closets, linen closets, storage areas, and the walk-in pantry. The owner's entry from the garage features a custom-designed mudroom with integrated bench seating, shoe storage, coat hooks, and open shelving, combining functionality with refined design. At the heart of the home is a chef's kitchen featuring a professional-grade Jenn Air paneled refrigerator-freezer, Wolf appliances, custom cabinetry, Carrara marble backsplashes with intricate mosaic detailing, and premium stone surfaces throughout. The adjoining living spaces are highlighted by a dramatic solid-slab marble fireplace surround with matching marble-topped custom built-ins, creating an elegant focal point for entertaining and family gatherings. The second floor offers remarkable flexibility and has remained virtually unused since completion. This level includes three additional bedrooms, a spacious secondary living room, a dedicated craft room, generous walk-in storage areas, and a private eight-seat theater room designed for an immersive entertainment experience. The theater room provides a true cinematic experience featuring an 85-inch display, powered theater seating, custom granite bar-top viewing accommodations, built-in entertainment bar, and integrated wine and beverage refrigeration. Outdoor living is equally impressive. The oversized tiled screened porch serves as a true extension of the home's interior living space and features a vaulted ceiling, fireplace, built-in grilling station with ventilation hood, two-stage outdoor gas heaters mounted in the tongue and groove ceilings, marble dining accommodations, and retractable shades that preserve views of the private wooded setting while allowing year-round enjoyment. Mature landscaping, evening landscape illumination, and a private wooded backdrop provide a tranquil setting that enhances both everyday living and outdoor entertaining. Unlike most luxury residences, the home is offered fully furnished, creating a rare turnkey ownership opportunity. Included in the offering is an extensive collection of luxury furnishings highlighted by Bernhardt furniture throughout the residence and a statement Michael Amini dining room suite and buffet, creating a cohesive designer environment rarely available in a resale offering. Custom-designed area rugs and runners complement the home's architectural design and interior palette, while the theater room, living spaces, bedrooms, and entertaining areas have been professionally furnished.
