Listing Description and Agent or Homeowner Contact Info
Modernist Victorian by Brett Hautop and Chad Parker of former Vernacular Studios of Raleigh, just outside Historic Oakwood and moments from downtown Raleigh. This architect-designed home is anything but standard, blending traditional scale with clean modern lines, exceptional natural light, and one unforgettable focal point: a custom two-story spiral staircase set inside a rounded granite tower.
The main level offers soaring 14-foot ceilings, hardwood floors, large windows, custom built-ins, and seamless flow for daily living or entertaining. The kitchen features Silestone counters, a large island, substantial custom cabinetry, walk-in pantry, Sub-Zero refrigerator, and professional gas range. A main-floor guest suite adds flexibility for visitors, multigenerational living, or private office use.
One of the home’s best features is its connection to the outdoors. Glass openings and NanaWall-style doors lead to a private stone courtyard with patio space, landscape lighting, and built-in speakers, creating a rare indoor-outdoor experience in downtown Raleigh. Upstairs, the primary suite includes a spa-style bath, generous custom closet space, and a private sun porch/balcony retreat. The third floor adds bonus space, built-in seating, extra storage, and skyline views.
Additional features include a detached two-car garage, sealed crawlspace, wired networking, and smart security infrastructure. A rare opportunity to own a truly distinctive architectural home in one of Raleigh’s most desirable close-in locations.
