Ready to Tour This Home? Let's Make It Count.
Welcome! We're so glad you found us.
We don't believe in simply unlocking doors. We believe in opening the door to the right home.
Before requesting a home tour, please contact us for a brief conversation. Whether you're looking for a home for rent or a home to purchase, we'll answer your questions, explain the showing process, and help determine whether this property is the right fit for your needs. We believe your time is valuable, and a little planning upfront helps create a smoother, more enjoyable experience for everyone.
Interested in one of our rental properties? Pre-screening is required before a showing can be scheduled. It's never about creating extra steps. It's about making sure you understand the qualification requirements, have your questions answered, and can tour the home with confidence. Our goal is for every showing to be intentional, informative, and worthwhile.
Real estate is personal, and we believe every conversation should be too.
Whether you're leasing a home or buying a home, you'll find a friendly team committed to clear communication, honest guidance, and exceptional service from your first conversation through move-in or closing day.
A quick note about Sundays: Our office is closed so our team can unplug and spend time with their families. If you already have a confirmed Sunday showing, don't worry. We'll still be available to provide property access and assist with anything you need during your scheduled tour.
We're not simply opening a door. We're helping you open the door to your next chapter.
Now for the fun part. Let's find you a home you'll truly love calling your own. We can't wait to meet you!

Property Description
Originally built over 110 years ago, the home was once owned by Dr. John Reuer of NC State's College of Design. The current owners partnered with Katherine Hogan Architects to complete a full renovation, including a striking two-story modern addition. The project received a 2018 North Carolina American Institute of Architects award for its integration of historic and contemporary design.
The historic portion features light-filled formal rooms, 10-foot ceilings, hardwood floors, detailed millwork, and a grand entry foyer with an elegant staircase.
The modern addition offers open-concept living with floor-to-ceiling glass overlooking a private landscaped bamboo garden. A two-story circulation hall connects the historic and modern sections.
The home spans three levels and includes a library with built-ins, formal and informal dining areas, and a chef's kitchen with scullery, Thermador appliances, professional gas range, three ovens, two refrigerators, two freezers, three dishwashers, and an ice maker.
The lower level includes a media room, wine cellar, guest bedroom, and wellness space with gym, steam shower, and sauna.
Upstairs features multiple bedrooms and two primary suites. The upper level of the modern wing serves as a private owner's retreat with dressing room and spa-style bath.
Additional features include smart home technology, integrated security system, solar panels, recessed lighting, and a Tesla charging station.
Exterior features include a gated driveway with stacked parking, dual entrances, and mature landscaping providing privacy.
Conveniently located minutes from Downtown Raleigh, the Village District, parks, the YMCA, and major commuter routes.
