Property Description
Perched high above the fairways in one of North Raleigh's most coveted settings, 1817 Hunting Ridge Road is a striking custom residence where architecture, design, and setting come together in effortless harmony. Overlooking the 8th hole of the Oaks Course at North Ridge Country Club, this home captures sweeping views of rolling greens, a tranquil pond with fountain, and unforgettable sunset skies--each one more impressive than the last. Thoughtfully designed by Frazier Home Design and built by KJ Construction in 2020, the home offers almost 5,700 square feet of curated living space with 5 bedrooms and 6 full baths. Interiors by Roux MacNeil Studio and Katherine Connell Interior Design bring a refined yet inviting aesthetic, where every finish and fixture has been carefully considered. From the moment you step into the soaring two-story foyer, filled with natural light from expansive windows, the home makes a lasting impression. The main living spaces are designed to celebrate the views, with a dramatic picture window in the living room and a folding glass door that seamlessly connects the indoors to the covered outdoor terrace with phantom screens--perfect for year-round enjoyment. The kitchen is both stunning and functional, featuring Alpine White marble countertops, a Wolf range, Sub-Zero refrigeration, Bosch wall ovens, a scullery-style pantry and butler's pantry complete with wine refrigeration and custom glass display cabinetry. Just beyond, a cozy den with a Pennsylvania Bluestone hearth and wood/gas fireplace offers a warm and inviting retreat. The resort-style backyard is nothing short of exceptional. Designed by Sears Design Group under the vision of renowned landscape architect Dan Sears, the lush grounds surround a heated saltwater pool and spa by Aquatic Artists. Travertine marble decking, ambient landscape lighting, and a gazebo overlooking the golf course create an atmosphere reminiscent of a private retreat. Upstairs, the primary suite is a sanctuary unto itself, complete with a sitting area framed by corner windows capturing panoramic golf course views. The spa-like bath features imported Italian marble floors, Donatello marble counters, a freestanding soaking tub, a large walk-in shower, heated towel rack, and a Kohler smart bidet toilet--bringing a true sense of luxury to everyday living. Additional highlights include a private office with built-ins, generous secondary bedrooms, a bonus room, and a walk-in attic for storage. The lower level offers remarkable flexibility with a large recreation or flex space, full bath, and wine cellar--ideal for a guest suite, gym, studio, or in-law quarters. A main-level guest bedroom with full bath further enhances the home's versatility. Modern conveniences abound, including whole-home audio and visual wiring with Sonos integration, a programmable lighting system, security with cameras, a 3-car garage with epoxy flooring, encapsulated crawlspace, and a multi-zone irrigation system.
