Calling all mid-century modern enthusiasts. Tucked away in a coveted Raleigh location with an enchanting Secret Garden feel, this architectural masterpiece stands in a league of its own. Custom designed by renowned architect McNeely, an NC State School of Design alumnus, this one-of-a-kind home has been meticulously preserved to highlight its authentic period character. The interior layout seamlessly integrates with the surrounding natural landscape. Upon entering the foyer, your eye is immediately drawn to a wall of glass framing an extraordinary 14' x 14' central courtyard anchored by a grand, old-growth Japanese Maple. Abundant natural light pours through expansive windows across the entire footprint, complemented by fresh neutral paint. Designed for effortless daily living and entertaining, the main level features a cozy den, an efficient kitchen with original wood cabinetry, and a light-filled dining space. The vaulted family room is anchored by a focal fireplace, while sliding glass doors span the rear of the home to connect the living areas to an expansive 48-foot patio for al fresco dining. The main-floor primary suite offers private patio access, generous closet space, dual vanities, and an authentic mid-century tile bathroom. A second main-floor bedroom and another original tile full bath provide ideal guest accommodations. Upstairs, a loft office equipped with built-in bookcases overlooks the family room below. A quaint alcove near the front bedroom serves as a second sunny workspace with views, accompanied by two spacious guest bedrooms and a third original tile hall bathroom. Thoughtful exterior improvements include LP SmartSide board and batten siding, a replacement roof, oversized gutters (2021), a two-car garage with corrugated doors, a dedicated storage shed, and extensive landscape lighting. Enjoy your own private pathway directly to the Oak Park Swim Club, direct access to the Crabtree Creek Trail connecting into Umstead State Park, and unbeatable proximity to Raleigh favorites like The Peddler Steak House, Fresh Local Ice Cream, O'Malley's, and Crabtree Valley Mall. Living here feels like a daily vacation retreat, yet you remain just minutes from both Midtown and Downtown Raleigh.
