Built by Exeter Building Company, this Transitional European-style home with modern Tudor influences blends timeless design with versatility. Set on a private 1.92-acre lot in the gated community of Grand Highland Estates, it offers a peaceful setting with convenient access to RTP and Raleigh. The main level features a vaulted owner's retreat with a spa-like bath and walk-in closet, along with a guest suite with an ensuite bath. The gourmet kitchen showcases designer appliances, a large island, and walk-in pantry, flowing into the vaulted dining area and family room with fireplace and built-ins. Upstairs, spacious bedrooms each feature ensuite baths and walk-in closets, complemented by a bonus room and study nook ideal for work, play, or relaxation. The partially finished basement includes a large recreation room plus an additional 1,524 square feet of unfinished space ready to be finished, offering exceptional potential for expanded living space, a home gym, media room, or hobby area. A covered rear porch with stone fireplace extends the living space outdoors, while a one-car front-entry and two-car side-entry garage provide flexible parking and functionality. This home combines classic style, generous space, and future potential in one of the area's most desirable communities.
The R-40W zoning districts are known as residential watershed districts. These districts allow very-low-density residential development in the form of single-family detached dwellings and duplexes. A limited number of nonresidential uses are also allowed, but generally only if the Board of Adjustment first reviews and approves a site plan and Special Use Permit for such use.
