A rare opportunity to own a luxury estate designed for exceptional indoor and outdoor living. The five-bedroom main residence offers five full baths and three half baths, with a main-level primary suite, a separate guest suite, a private office, and laundry rooms on both the main and second floors. Site-finished hardwood floors, custom millwork, and a brick exterior add character throughout. The kitchen features custom cabinetry with under-cabinet lighting, a gas range, and Bosch appliances. The full basement extends the living space with a gym, wet sauna, kitchenette, and additional unfinished storage. A three-season room offers another place to relax or entertain. Beyond the privacy gate, the grounds feature a heated saltwater concrete pool, hot tub, in-ground fire pit, and flagstone pavers. The pool house includes an outdoor kitchen, a full interior bath, and an exterior shower. A full basketball court completes the outdoor amenities. Six garage spaces (three attached and three detached) provide ample room for vehicles and storage. Above the detached garage, a guest house offers additional space for visitors. From its custom finishes to its resort-style grounds, this estate is truly one of a kind.
Forestville, located between Capital Boulevard and Buffaloe Road, is a suburban and residential Raleigh neighborhood with wooded pockets and a low-rise streetscape. The neighborhood’s energy concentrates around the Capital Boulevard corridor near the Triangle Town Center area, where big-box retail, casual eateries, and steady traffic set the tempo. Housing reads as late-20th-century subdivisions with brick-front homes, cul-de-sacs, and mature trees. Greenway-minded routines connect to nearby trail segments and creekside parkland. For local pillars, Triangle Town Center, Buffaloe Road Aquatic Center, and Durant Nature Preserve anchor errands, recreation, and a change of scenery.
