About this home
A rare countryside estate in prestigious Wakefield Estates features over 8700 sq ft, this exceptional property offers privacy, luxury and a resort-style setting on 2.36 acres backing to the protected Falls Lake Corps area. Once featured in Southern Living magazine, the five-bedroom, five-bath home is filled with timeless architectural detail and thoughtfully designed spaces for everyday living and entertaining.

A screened porch with a stone fireplace creates an inviting place to relax while overlooking the peaceful, wooded surroundings. A private home theater completes the main residence. The nearly 2,000-square-foot pool house was built in 2008 with the same quality and character as the main home. It includes a full kitchen, exercise room, sauna and an expansive home office, offering incredible flexibility for entertaining, working from home or accommodating extended stays. Surrounded by natural beauty and designed with remarkable attention to detail, this one-of-a-kind estate delivers the privacy of country living with the convenience of one of North Raleigh's most desirable communities.
