Description
Elegant and unmistakably distinguished, this William Poole-inspired luxury estate stands among the finest private residences in Cary's luxury real estate market. Designed by acclaimed Raleigh architect-builder Richard Tilley and situated on 1.16 meticulously landscaped acres, this one-owner custom home offers a rare combination of architectural pedigree, privacy, and enduring quality. The arrival is designed to awe. Tucked at the end of a cul-de-sac, a private drive, framed by lush, park-like landscaping, culminates in a gracious circular motor court before the home's commanding Southern Colonial Revival façade. A stately twin staircase ascends to an oversized custom-crafted entry door, creating an unforgettable introduction marked by architectural grandeur and sophistication. Inside, a light-filled foyer immediately captures attention with sweeping sightlines extending through the home to the sparkling saltwater pool beyond. This breathtaking view establishes a seamless connection between the refined interior and resort-inspired outdoor living spaces. Offering five bedrooms, five full baths, and one half bath, the home balances the stately character of traditional architecture with thoughtfully curated contemporary updates, each bedroom with its own en suite bath. Exquisite formal and informal living areas provide perfect settings for entertaining and everyday living, while modern finishes and amenities elevate comfort and functionality. At the heart of the home is a remarkable chef's kitchen designed for those who appreciate fine craftsmanship and effortless hospitality. Anchored by German ALNO cabinetry with integrated electronic lift systems, the space showcases a level of quality seldom encountered even among luxury residences. Premium Miele appliances, a built-in coffee station, retractable vent hood, convection cooktop, and separate refrigerator and freezer combine beauty and performance in a kitchen where European innovation meets Southern hospitality. Serving as a private retreat on the main level, the primary suite features a luxuriously renovated spa bath with refined finishes and an oversized walk-in closet. Nearby, a private executive office with bespoke floor-to-ceiling millwork provides an inspiring setting for work, study, or quiet reflection. Upstairs, a dramatic catwalk overlooks both the foyer and family room, while a separate rear staircase leads to an extraordinary entertainment wing. This versatile space includes a billiards room, wet bar, dual climate-controlled wine storage, exercise room, and flexible bonus space more commonly associated with an exclusive club than a private home. The spacious three-car garage features professionally finished epoxy floors and a separate enclosed storage room. Exceptional storage is integrated throughout the home, highlighted by a walk-up third-floor attic offering flexibility for storage and future expansion. Outdoors, the property unfolds as a private retreat. A broad stone terrace surrounds the pristine pool, while manicured gardens and mature evergreens provide beauty, privacy, and tranquility. Overlooking the grounds, the covered colonnade offers shaded spaces for dining and relaxation, complemented by an outdoor kitchen and dedicated pool bath. Equally suited for quiet mornings, casual gatherings, or elegant entertaining, the outdoor living experience is both sophisticated and inviting. Drifting beyond the bounds of its own acreage, discover the easy pace of Cary. Less than a mile from Koka Booth Amphitheatre and a stroll around Symphony Lake, enjoy evenings where the faint sounds of live music drift through the air. With dining, shopping, parks, and entertainment just minutes away, Regency Park Estates places the best of Cary right at your fingertips. Rich in character and thoughtfully updated for modern living, this is more than a home. It is a legacy estate, a property of enduring significance that stands among Cary's most distinguished residences. An additional full bathroom, not included in the total bathroom count, is in the poolside cabana.
