luxury houses with pool for sale Raleigh, United States (page 2)

Timeless architecture, exceptional construction and extraordinary pride of ownership define 113 Richelieu Drive in Cary's highly coveted Regency Park Estates. Thoughtfully designed by Carter Skinner and set on just over an acre of land, this all-brick estate offers nearly 10,000 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space that feels substantial without feeling overwhelming. Every room has a purpose and despite its remarkable scale, the home lives with a warmth and comfort that's increasingly difficult to find in a property this size. Built with a level of structural integrity rarely found today and anchored by steel beams, the architecture is classic, substantial and designed to stand the test of time. Throughout the home, thoughtful details reveal the exceptional attention that goes into its design. From the gracefully rounded, fluted corners that adorn the walls to the refined millwork and finishes, each element gives the space a sense of permanence and craftsmanship. Add to this the exceptional pride of ownership shown by original owners to create one increasingly rare property where virtually every detail reflects meticulous care. The primary floor is designed for everyday living including a kitchen thoughtfully refreshed with a full suite of recently replaced Thermador appliances, newly refinished cherry hardwood floors with a sophisticated matte sheen and a private primary suite complete with a sitting area, large walk-in closet, and pristine primary bathroom. Each room on the back of the home benefits from a dedicated entrance to a breathtaking veranda porch running the full expanse of the exterior and overlooking resort-like saltwater pool. Upstairs, four generously sized bedrooms each enjoy an attached full bathroom and walk-in closet, creating comfortable accommodations for family and guests alike. An additional fifth bedroom offers exceptional versatility, easily adapting to a bonus room or flex space. A full theatre provides a dedicated entertainment experience, while easily accessible walk-in storage offers the kind of practical functionality that makes a home of this size easy to live in. The lower level is an amenity-rich retreat all its own, featuring a full guest suite, gym, entertaining space, bar setup, unfinished storage, and an impressive 1,000-bottle wine cellar with a newly replaced cooling unit. Designed with entertaining in mind, this level also features both interior and exterior fireplaces, along with a dedicated pool bathroom complete with a steam shower. Mature trees and established landscaping create a private, serene backdrop, while a black aluminum fence frames the property beautifully. A five-inch thick, circular driveway creates a gracious arrival and adds to the home's timeless estate presence. Set within Regency Estates, the home enjoys the privacy and mature landscaping of one of Cary's established luxury neighborhoods while remaining exceptionally connected to the rest of the Triangle. Convenient access to major highways, WakeMed Cary Hospital and other medical facilities, shopping, dining, parks, and Raleigh's broader business and cultural centers makes the location as practical as it is prestigious. Perhaps most compelling is what you don't have to do. All five HVAC systems have been replaced along with the roof and transferrable 50 year warranty, and regularly serviced and 2024 installed whole-home generator. Major systems and finishes have been continually maintained and updated, offering the appeal of a timeless custom home with much of the confidence and ease buyers associate with newer construction. 113 Richelieu Drive is for the buyer who values space without excess, timeless architecture over passing trends, and craftsmanship that speaks for itself. A remarkably solid home, meticulously maintained, and built with a level of quality that is increasingly difficult to replicate - opportunities like this rarely become available in the Triangle.

Before there was even a Cary, the Maynard-Stone House stood proudly within its future borders. Built in 1860—eleven years before Cary was incorporated—this remarkable Greek Revival residence offers a rare blend of history, modern restoration, privacy, and location. Moved from the corner of High House Road and Davis Drive to save it from development, it now rests on 2.85 secluded acres at the end of a private dead-end road. Despite the solitude, it is remarkably close to all the best that Cary has to offer. On approach, revealed within the trees, is a monumental two-story front porch with tall fluted Ionic columns—introducing a home of impressive scale and unmistakable Southern character. The 4,592-square-foot residence offers four bedrooms (including a downstairs en-suite), three-and-a-half baths, oversized rooms, and soaring 10-plus-foot ceilings. Original heart-pine floors, hand-milled moldings, and 165-year-old solid wood doors preserve its craftsmanship, while exposed beams, joints, and wooden pegs reveal its timber-framed construction. Rarer still is the peace of mind that comes with the comprehensively renovated infrastructure. Stripped to its over-built 1860 frame and painstakingly remodeled in 2020-21, the Maynard-Stone House received new plumbing, electrical, HVAC, insulation, gas lines, windows, drywall, septic, on-demand water heating, pool and well pumps, and custom-milled cedar siding. A standing-seam metal roof was installed in 2010. The result is exceedingly difficult to find: the presence, natural materials, and craftsmanship of a 19th-century home without inheriting a 19th-century infrastructure. Designed for gathering, the expansive kitchen features nearly 38 linear feet of Carrara marble countertops, inset cabinetry, 33 soft-close drawers, and a striking 15-plus-foot island. An ILVE Professional 48-inch black-and-brass eight-burner gas range pairs with a coordinating ZLINE refrigerator; and an integrated Bosch dishwasher disappears into the cabinetry. The generous primary suite boasts a bath enveloped in Grecian White marble, with a cast-iron enameled roll-top pedestal tub with wooded tub views. Other baths feature travertine, slate, and a hand-finished Tadelakt lime-plaster shower. Surrounded by mature trees, the enchanting sunroom creates a private, treehouse-like retreat. Outside, a hidden oasis awaits: a newly plastered and tiled 40-by-20-foot pool secluded from view, gently rolling usable grounds, and an open lawn invite gardens, recreation, a future sport court, or a more self-sufficient country-estate lifestyle. An original tobacco barn and corn crib preserve the Maynard-Stone House's agricultural roots. Just over 2,000 square feet of unfinished daylight walkout basement offers flexibility for storage, workshop/studio space, or future finished use. Prestonwood Country Club's 54 holes of championship golf are 5 minutes away, with top-rated schools, Downtown Cary, RDU, Research Triangle Park, Downtown Apex, and amazing parks within easy reach. Saved twice—first from development, then through restoration—the Maynard-Stone House offers more than an 1860 residence. Its next owners become stewards of an authentic piece of Cary's past, restored and ready for Cary's future.
