Welcome home to this beautiful, well loved, 4 BR, 3.5 BA, custom built, executive home in the charming North Chartwell neighborhood. Nestled on a peaceful cul-de-sac, this picturesque 1.02-acre wooded lot offers both privacy and convenience in an upscale, tranquil setting. The home has been upgraded throughout, highlighted by a unique, custom built owner's suite, and a beautiful four-season sunroom.
The word to describe the downstairs is spacious. The kitchen /dining area includes both a steam and convection ovens, under cabinet lighting, a walk-in pantry, Wolf, Bosch, Miele appliances, and a custom designed workspace with built-ins. The large but cozy family room has a vented Heatillator gas fireplace, built-ins, and two bay windows. You'll enjoy your time in the large living room and dining rooms. The expansive downstairs owner's suite has cathedral ceilings, that unique bathroom, and a custom designed closet. It also opens to the beautiful four-season sunroom.
The upstairs was recently carpeted. It has three additional spacious bedrooms, each with a walk-in closet. There is a unique cubby attached to one bedroom. Follow the catwalk that overlooks the kitchen area to the extra-large bonus room that has enough room for your exercise equipment, hobby area, and a place to watch your favorite show on TV.
The yard is a mini arboretum. Relax on your expansive rocking-chair front porch and enjoy the gardenias, Japanese maples, Spanish bluebells, and a variety of summer perennials. Enjoy the views from the sunroom of the koi pond, patio, and the azaleas, phlox, and summer perennials. (See the documents for a more complete description of the extensive, low maintenance landscaping.)
There is an oversized 2+ car garage with a work area and storage fit for a craftsman, and a 10x12 sq. ft. storage shed. The house is wired for a 9.5 KW dual fuel generator. The windows were replaced in 2017, and the roof in 2019. The filtration system and full house vacuum were replaced in 2025. The septic system was pumped and inspected, and a pest treatment was done in February of this year.
This home provides easy access to Raleigh, Durham, and the Falls Lake Recreation Area.
