Nestled on one of Williamsborough's finest lots, this magnificent three-level home offers timeless architectural design in one of Raleigh's most sought-after locations. Originally designed and constructed by Arthur McKimmon and John C. Williams, the home was thoughtfully and meticulously reimagined in 2017 by the powerhouse team of architect Carter Skinner, Greg Paul Builders, and Katherine Connell Interiors. This exceptional property offers 5 bedrooms, 5 full baths, and one half-bath across 7,400 square feet, all framed by a spectacular 1.33-acre corner lot. Inside, the generous foyer with switch-back staircase separates the handsome study from the spacious living and dining rooms. The wide front and side halls, feature cased openings that create impressive sight lines, further enhancing the scale and exceptional level of detail. Beyond the front hall and across the rear is the state-of-the-art kitchen which overlooks the breakfast nook and family room, with French doors to the oversized covered porch. The kitchen is anchored by a massive center island with quartzite countertops and professional grade Wolf and Sub Zero appliances that seamlessly connects to the Butlers Pantry with extensive built-ins. The side hall offers easy access to the laundry room, private office and 2-car-garage. The opposing wing includes a resort-like primary suite with fireplace and stunning bath with double vanity, walk-in shower, soaking tub and dressing room. The generously proportioned spaces are further enhanced by the 10' ceilings (down), 5 fireplaces, hardwoods up/down, exquisite moldings and high-end lighting and hardware. . Upstairs, a spacious landing leads to three large bedrooms, each featuring its own connecting bath and walk-in closet. The basement offers an inviting entertainment area with a billiards room, rec room with fireplace and an additional bedroom with full bath. There's also an abundance of unfinished space, providing endless possibilities for storage or future expansion. The gorgeous grounds feature mature plantings and a rear courtyard encircled by a stone retaining wall, creating an ideal setting for a future pool. There is also a circular drive with ample parking. Excellent schools. Surrounded by wonderful neighbors. An extraordinary property!
