Set on a wooded 0.5-acre homesite in West Cary, this custom 4,661-square-foot residence blends refined design with exceptional everyday livability. A dramatic two-story foyer window fills the home with natural light, while a hand-hammered iron staircase, Raleigh Reclaimed wood accents, designer fixtures, Lutron automated shades, and a floor-to-ceiling locally sourced stone fireplace create a striking and inviting main living space. The chef's kitchen is thoughtfully appointed with upgraded Silestone quartz countertops, a Wolf range, full Sub-Zero appliance suite, built-in drawer microwave, expansive island, and a scullery for added prep and storage.
