On nearly two acres of beautifully landscaped and natural areas, privacy, peacefulness, and the sounds of birdsong and swaying trees are the vibe here. In this lovely and exclusive Phase III of Wyndfield, it's easy to imagine life before I-540 was built, in large part because once in Wyndfield you'd never think there was so much so close by. This original-owner home was custom-built in 1993 and lived in for 32 years. The plantings are mature and wonderful and the entry inviting and special. Once inside, the most dramatic feature of this home are the large, open, vaulted spaces and the amazing number of large picture windows through which you view your own personal arboretum-like property. Measuring nearly 7000 heated square feet, nearly every room in the home is oversized. The great room features a large central wood-burning fireplace; the kitchen connects to the light-filled breakfast area; the outdoor living spaces include a bi-level rear deck, large furnished screened porch, and covered front grill deck. The first-floor primary bedroom (with a primary bathroom featuring radiant heated flooring) is supported by three upstairs bedrooms (one of which has an ensuite bathroom) and a cozy bonus-over-garage room with lovely details on the ceiling trim. Plantation shutters and Marvin casement windows on most of the windows, a large garage with epoxy floor, EV charger and loads of built-in storage, and handsome wall coverings, built-ins and mouldings complete the picture. The finished basement is epic — no other word really feels right here. A fully-equipped theater room and exercise room are just the beginning. Then add three separate bonus rooms (each large in their own right), a kitchenette, a built-in seating area for six, a wine storage room, a mechanical room, walk-out access to the great outdoors, and a room that sets up perfectly as a fifth bedroom with access to a full bath. A short drive takes you to the walking trails of Falls Lake, the greenway system, one of the largest gyms in Wake County, and Whole Foods. Or just walk in the neighborhood. It's so pretty here there's very little motivation to leave its confines.
