Rare is an understatement. Set on over an acre in the newly established, luxury neighborhood of The Overlook at Mount Vernon, this 4-bedroom, 5-bath, 4,783 sq ft custom home, built in 2024 by Future Homes, offers something almost impossible to find within Raleigh city limits: genuine lakefront living in Raleigh. Set back from the road for ultimate privacy in both the front and back, yet nestled among other luxury custom homes, this property strikes the perfect balance of seclusion and community. The outdoors here are as thoughtfully designed as the interior. A custom gas firepit area overlooks the lake, creating an effortless evening gathering space. The oversized deck features its own gas fireplace with ample room for dining, lounging, and entertaining, plus electrical already in place for a sauna, cold plunge, or whatever your wellness vision demands. A separate side deck offers the perfect perch for a grill or hot tub. With the ability to add a dock and a pool, the possibilities are genuinely limitless. Mature trees frame sweeping lake views from nearly every outdoor vantage point. The double foyer entry welcomes you with an abundance of natural light and windows before giving way to a floor plan that hits the trifecta: primary suite, dedicated office, and guest suite - all on the main level. The spacious primary bedroom easily accommodates a sitting area, with an expansive window perfectly framing the lake. Vaulted ceilings with wood beams add warmth and architectural drama, while the spa-caliber bathroom impresses with floor-to-ceiling tile, a walk-in shower with upper windows for natural light, a soaking tub, and a custom closet with a center island that is as beautiful as it is functional. The office features double glass pocket doors, an accent trim wall, and custom built-ins. Step through into the living room anchored by a floor-to-ceiling tile fireplace, where expansive black sliding glass doors open to the deck and lake beyond. The chef's kitchen is appointed with built-in appliances, an oversized island, and a 6-burner range with pot filler. A scullery offers a second sink, dishwasher, and generous shelving for additional storage. A built-in bar area with beverage fridge rounds out the space making it ideal for hosting, entertaining, or simply enjoying the ritual of a well-stocked kitchen. White oak wide plank hardwood, solid core doors, quartz countertops, and designer lighting and tile complete the refined aesthetic throughout. The upper level offers a loft area, multiple flex spaces (one currently configured as a private guest suite), two additional bedrooms, and a massive walk-in storage room. This layout is ideal for giving every resident their own sense of space and separation. Beyond the original build, the owners have elevated the property further with a new patio, water softener, custom blinds, landscaping lighting, and the gas firepit area with gas line - all thoughtfully done and ready for its next owner to simply move in and enjoy. Lakefront opportunities of this caliber in Raleigh simply do not come along. This is the one.
