Welcome to your forever home, tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in the highly sought-after Raintree community, perfectly positioned near the luxury lifestyle of North Ridge and the energy of North Raleigh. This exceptional residence has been completely reimagined from top to bottom by CQC Home, one of the Triangle's most respected design-build firms and a recent Parade of Homes Gold Award winner, known for its refined craftsmanship, thoughtful layouts, and elevated finishes. The result is a home that lives and feels like new construction while preserving the warmth and character of an established neighborhood. Inside, a bright and open-concept floor plan is enhanced by brand-new luxury plank flooring that flows seamlessly throughout both levels. The main living spaces offer timeless charm with original built-ins and two wood-burning fireplaces, creating inviting gathering areas ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. Carefully selected designer lighting adds warmth and sophistication across the home. The fully renovated kitchen is the heart of the home, featuring quartz countertops, new stainless-steel appliances, soft-close cabinetry, and a striking center island perfect for casual meals or hosting guests. Every detail reflects the intentional design and quality execution that define CQC Home's work. Upstairs, the private owner's suite provides a peaceful retreat with dual vanities, a separate enclosed toilet area, elegant tile finishes, and a spacious walk-in closet. A secondary en-suite bedroom, originally designed as a primary suite, offers outstanding flexibility for guests, in-laws, or multi-generational living. Outdoor living is just as inviting, with freshly refinished decking ideal for morning coffee or evening relaxation, framed by partial privacy fencing and a beautifully wooded backdrop. Significant behind-the-scenes improvements include a new roof, updated HVAC system, insulated crawlspace, new garage doors, and a walk-up unfinished third floor, providing excellent potential for a future bonus room, office, or creative space. An incredible bonus opportunity for the next owner, the walk-up third floor offers approximately 600 square feet of expansion potential; perfect for creating a custom bonus room, private office, guest retreat, or flex space tailored to your needs. This is not just additional space; it is a chance to enhance both the livability and long-term equity of the home. If desired, the space can be finished by CQC Home, the preeminent North Carolina remodeler, and the seller is offering a $5,000 credit with CQC Home, to be applied after closing toward the total cost of the project. Beyond the finishes, this home benefits from a comprehensive infrastructure renewal, delivering modern efficiency, comfort, and long-term peace of mind rarely found in homes of this era. It truly combines the reliability of new construction with the charm of an established neighborhood. Ideally located near parks, greenways, swim clubs, boutique shopping, and dining favorites such as Lafayette Village, with easy access to I-540 and WakeMed North. Enjoy close proximity to North Hills, Downtown Raleigh, and RDU International Airport, as well as North Ridge Country Club and Ravenscroft School. An exceptional opportunity in North Raleigh, this home is located in a NO HOA community, offering freedom and flexibility without compromising prestige, location, or lifestyle. Thoughtfully designed, beautifully executed, and move-in ready, this home offers a rare combination of space, quality, convenience, and future upside.
