Nestled in the heart of Raleigh's coveted Budleigh neighborhood, this timeless all-brick Colonial offers an exceptional combination of elegance, functionality, and location. Situated on a beautifully landscaped and private half-acre lot Inside the Beltline, the home is just minutes from the Village District, North Hills, Downtown Raleigh, I-40, and some of the city's finest shopping, dining, and parks. A grand two-story foyer adorned with custom trim paneling creates a breathtaking first impression, with graceful arched openings leading to the formal study, elegant dining room, and expansive family room. Soaring 10-foot ceilings, abundant natural light, and designer brass lighting create a warm yet sophisticated atmosphere throughout. Designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining, the open floor plan centers around a spectacular chef's kitchen featuring mitered-edge honed marble countertops, custom cabinetry, paneled Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer, double ovens, two dishwashers, ice maker, beverage refrigerator, a walk-in pantry, and a stunning lacquered butler's pantry. The spacious dining room is ideal for hosting gatherings, while the adjoining family room flows seamlessly to the covered rear porch. The luxurious main-level primary suite and separate laundry room provide convenient first-floor living. Upstairs are three generously sized bedrooms, each with walk-in closets, along with two beautifully refreshed full bathrooms. A spacious bonus room with an adjoining flex room offers endless possibilities for a home gym, office, playroom, or additional storage. The partially finished walk-up third floor has previously served as both a home office and golf simulator, providing even more flexible living space. Recently refreshed with fresh interior paint, new carpet, and updated secondary bathrooms, the home is truly move-in ready. Outdoors, enjoy the covered porch with a wood-burning brick fireplace overlooking the lush, private backyard—an ideal setting for entertaining, relaxing, or enjoying the expansive lawn with plenty of room for soccer games or family gatherings. Offering an outstanding floor plan, luxury finishes, exceptional privacy, and one of Raleigh's most sought-after Inside-the-Beltline locations, this is a rare opportunity to own an extraordinary home in Budleigh.
