A letter from the homeowners...

"How do we describe our home? We like to say the style is California meets New York...and fell in love in North Carolina. It's modern, yet warm, with a great deal of attention given to the natural beauty that draws people to North Carolina.

The layout is open and flexible, but each space still has its own unique environment. For example, the fourth bedroom, the solarium and the second floor game room were designed to change with your family and lifestyle needs. The Game Room was built for many forms of entertainment - especially a regulation size slate pool table - but can easily be converted to a teenager’s suite, an exercise room or an oversized bedroom for children to share. Maybe its perfect for a dance studio?

For those who enjoy relaxation like we do, the tall ceiling heights and lots of glass increase the amount of oxygen and natural light in the house, two things that help a person relax when they come home. The spa-like feel is accented by the soothing colors and various mood lighting.

Take all this, then situate the house up on a beautiful hilltop, in a well-established neighborhood full of oaks it makes the harmony between relaxation and entertainment truly refreshing. And speaking of entertainment! One of the things we love most is the location. We are inside the belt line with easy access to Glenwood South and downtown Raleigh and right at North Hills. You can't find a better location in the Triangle."

Kid Tested...

One of the only negative comments we have heard is this home is not "kid friendly" enough. So we found some kids and put it to the test. Tyler is 4 and Emma is 2...and they do not live here. But they had fun here!

While grown-ups will like the elegance and uniqueness of stained concrete floors, they also make a great place to ride a scooter in the house. Be the fun parents and let kids be active. Put away the video games.

The bamboo steps double as a great table for coloring and drawing. And since the home is so open, you can keep an eye on them from the kitchen, living room, dining room, bedroom and the backyard!

There is a section of countertop in the kitchen that is a little lower than the others. What a great place to let kids make their own snacks. There is nothing wrong with allowing them some independence! Just watch out for the double dipping in the peanut butter!

Driveway? Well sure you could park cars here. But this is also the best sidewalk chalk canvas in the neighborhood!
