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.
