Description
Charleston-inspired architecture, exceptional craftsmanship, and resort-style outdoor living come together on one of the Clayton's most private wooded homesites. Set on a secluded 0.74-acre cul-de-sac lot within an exclusive gated community, this custom Grey Heron Construction residence offers the rare combination of timeless design, thoughtful craftsmanship, and the ease of primarily main-level living. From the oversized front porch to the private backyard retreat, every space has been designed to feel equally inviting for everyday living and effortless entertaining. A gracious foyer welcomes you into a light-filled family room where coffered ceilings, a gas fireplace, custom built-ins, and French doors create a seamless connection to the expansive screened porch beyond. At the heart of the home, the chef's kitchen is both functional and beautifully appointed, featuring a large leathered granite island, 48-inch ZLINE gas range with griddle, pot filler, double wall ovens, professional hood, farmhouse workstation sink, dedicated coffee station with wine refrigerator, under-cabinet lighting, soft-close custom cabinetry, and an oversized walk-in pantry. Just beyond, the dining room opens directly to the screened porch, making indoor and outdoor entertaining feel effortless. Privately positioned on the main level, the primary suite is designed as a true retreat with a custom walk-in closet, statement chandelier, dressing mirror, and a spa-inspired bath complete with heated dot-tile floors, soaking tub, walk-in shower, dual marble vanities, makeup station, and French doors leading directly to the screened porch. Two additional bedrooms, a dedicated study, and a beautifully designed shiplap laundry and mudroom with six custom built-in cubbies, custom shelving, and designer lighting complete the main floor. Upstairs offers exceptional flexibility with a spacious loft, full bath, and two additional bedrooms, including a custom-built bunk room that comfortably sleeps eight with integrated drawers and built-in storage. Throughout the home, custom pine hardwood flooring, extensive millwork, wainscoting, built-ins, and custom cabinetry reflect the quality and craftsmanship found in every detail. One of the home's defining features is its remarkable connection to the outdoors. The impressive 33-foot by 12-foot screened porch, accessible through French doors from three separate rooms, overlooks a private backyard featuring a flagstone patio, fire pit, established gardens, and ample room for a future pool. Whether hosting family and friends or enjoying a quiet evening, the outdoor living spaces feel like a natural extension of the home. Additional highlights include an oversized two-car garage with golf cart parking and generous storage, fingerprint entry, plantation shutters, ceiling fans throughout, a sealed crawl space, insulated walls, garage and subfloor, irrigation, landscape lighting, and a brand-new tankless water heater. Perfectly positioned within a golf-cart-friendly community, residents enjoy easy access to walking trails, ponds, restaurants, grocery stores, healthcare, the YMCA featuring a fitness center, pools, waterslide, and outdoor fitness pavilion, as well as the future Waterfront District. River Dell Elementary is within walking distance, Thales Academy is approximately one mile away, with Downtown Clayton just 15 minutes away and North Hills and Downtown Raleigh approximately 30 minutes away.
