A rare opportunity to own a private 2.79-acre estate in Wakefield Estates, this magnificent custom brick residence offers over 8,400 square feet of luxury living, resort-style outdoor spaces, and exceptional privacy just minutes from Wakefield Plantation Golf Club. Originally built by renowned builder Phil Miller and thoughtfully expanded with a $500,000 engineered addition, the home offers 5 bedrooms, 4.5 baths including a private main-level guest suite, and beautifully defined living spaces designed for both everyday comfort and elegant entertaining. The main-level guest suite provides ideal accommodations for visitors or multigenerational living. A grand marble foyer welcomes you into the home, opening to formal living and dining rooms and a richly appointed English library with custom built-ins, hand-carved plaster trim, wet bar, and icemaker. Multiple gathering spaces throughout the main level include a cozy reading room with hand-carved plaster mantel, a spacious TV room with wood-burning fireplace and cherry tray ceiling, a sunroom with bay window, and a warm kitchen and keeping room designed as the true heart of the home. The chef's kitchen features custom solid wood cabinetry, hand-painted Italian tile backsplash, imported Italian lighting, and detailed plaster accents, while the breakfast area is crowned by a dramatic custom cherrywood conical ceiling, creating an unforgettable architectural centerpiece. Upstairs, the expansive owner's suite offers a private retreat with a sitting area, the ''world's largest'' walk-in closet with dual islands, cedar-lined closet, and beautifully renovated spa bath. Additional bedrooms feature walk-in closets and updated bathrooms, while a large bonus room with wet bar, beverage refrigerator, and surround sound provides flexible living space for recreation or guests. Additional living areas include a finished third-level recreation space, basement theater, and an impressive custom wine cellar with climate venting and cigar smoke exhaust system, ideal for collectors and entertainers alike. Outside, the home transforms into a private resort retreat. The custom plaster saltwater pool with freeform edges, integrated heated spa, and three water features is surrounded by multi-level patios, stacked stone walls, and extensive landscape lighting. The grounds--designed by a Certified Master Gardener--feature rare plantings and year-round blooms, while the expansive rear lawn beyond the pool provides open, usable space rarely found this close to Wake Forest. Located just minutes from Wakefield Plantation Golf Club, Falls Lake, Forest Ridge Park, and Historic Wakefield Barn, this exceptional estate blends privacy, craftsmanship, and resort-style living into a property that is truly one of a kind. More than a home, this is a private sanctuary designed for those who want space, luxury, and an unmatched lifestyle.
