Description:
Nestled in mature trees and verdant landscaping in one of Cary's most prestigious neighborhoods, this beautiful nearly 10,000 sq-ft, Georgian- and Federal-inspired home offers six bedroom suites, five garage bays and a seemingly endless number of amenities. Its classic design, tasteful incorporation of both traditional and contemporary features, and highest quality materials and workmanship make it a standout among Regency Parkway area residences. At the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, the home's stately façade and majestic trees imply strength and security while a gently babbling water feature near the entry evokes a sense of calm abiding. Within, an air of relaxed luxury begins in the spacious foyer with its richly stained wood floor and soaring ceiling. A delicately curving staircase of polished wood and wrought iron rises to a second-level overlook.
Off the foyer, the formal dining room awaits guests and memorable repasts with its
lovely crown molding, wainscoting, and triptych of multi-pane windows looking out to the alluring grounds. Across the foyer and through French doors, the study provides a
welcoming ambiance with its large windows and wall of built-in cabinetry flanking a
fireplace. The family room is bathed in natural light cascading through a near floor to cathedral ceiling bank of multi-pane windows. Adding to the room's dramatic presence is a wall of stacked flagstone surrounding the fireplace that passes through to the keeping room and culinary center. There, the sizeable kitchen hosts dual prep and serving islands, abundant cabinets, and high-end stainless appliances. There is a pantry and a dome
ceilinged dining bay lined with windows. Outdoor access to a screened porch and
adjacent deck makes al fresco dining a must-do option. The bedroom suites of this extraordinary home are designed for optimum comfort and are located to ensure utmost privacy. The impressive primary suite, for example, is conveniently though discreetly placed on the home's main level. There are spaciousness, serenity, and enjoyable design features here, such as a tray ceiling, handsome fireplace, and sumptuous amenities including two walk-in closets and a luxurious bath. The lavish bath offers dual sinks and vanities complemented by striking marble countertops, beautiful cabinetry, a towering tray ceiling above the spa tub. A private balcony is accessible from the primary suite's companion home office, where tradition abounds in the form of a coffered ceiling, a wall of handsome custom cabinetry, and French doors embellished by sidelights and transoms. Upstairs, a lengthy gallery hallway provides access to four guest rooms and a significant bonus room. Even the most discerning guests or family members would be pleased by the comfortable accommodations.
