Exquisite grace and grandeur hallmark this magnificent Hayes Barton masterpiece. Basking in 1.26 acres of park-like privacy this estate in Raleigh's oldest, most prestigious location offers indoor and outdoor serenity that simply cannot be duplicated. Standing proudly on Cowper Drive, gated and surrounded by rich landscape and gardens, is a home perfect for both family and entertaining. Outside you’ll marvel at the intricate brickwork, the multiple porches and Juliet balconies, and the expansive, brick-paver patio with separate grilling, dining, lounging, and catering areas. Stroll the grounds and revel in the quiet enjoyment of the Zen Garden, Koi Pond, Imported English Gazebo, and the flourishing rose garden. Receive your guests through the two-story curved portico front entry with Corinthian columns and leaded-glass doors into a three-tiered, grand foyer with circular staircase. From there the formal dining room flows beautifully to the butler’s bar into the well-appointed kitchen, which boosts custom cabinetry and paneled-front appliances, a large center island with prep sink, hammered copper sinks, 64” Viking gas cooktop with six burners, and a large griddle, warming drawers, double wall ovens, two Miele dishwashers, full-size Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer, and built-in Sub-Zero wine refrigerator with two beverage drawers. Also inside, you’ll find a very large formal living room, a handsome library, a family and billiard room with a bar, a gracious owners' retreat, a home theater with wet bar, an elevator, an au pair suite, and so much more, making this home a truly unique property.
