A rare custom-built brownstone with a private elevator, tucked into one of Raleigh's most convenient locations. This end unit offers more than 3,600 square feet that feel both elegant and easy to live in. Soaring 9' and 10' ceilings, oversized windows, and extensive crown molding set the tone, with hardwood floors throughout the main living areas and custom built-ins that add warmth and character. The open floor plan works just as well for a quiet weeknight as it does for a full house. The chef's kitchen is the heart of it all, with sandstone quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, a large island, and a walk-in pantry you'll actually use. Upstairs, the primary suite is a true retreat. Think heated travertine floors, a spacious bath, a generous walk-in closet, and yes, the Japanese toilet stays. The lower level gives you real flexibility. A recreation room with a wet bar, plus a bedroom and full bath, make it perfect for guests, a home office, a gym, or multigenerational living. And with the private elevator, every level is easy to reach. Step outside to a beautifully landscaped private patio with an above-ground hot tub that conveys. It's your own little escape in the middle of the city. The big-ticket items are already taken care of: new roof (2022), HVAC (2020), and water heater (2017). Homes like this don't come along often. This one is ready for its next chapter.
