Originally built over 110 years ago, the home was once owned by Dr. John Reuer of NC State's College of Design. The current owners partnered with Katherine Hogan Architects to complete a full renovation, including a striking two-story modern addition. The project received a 2018 North Carolina American Institute of Architects award for its integration of historic and contemporary design. The historic portion features light-filled formal rooms, 10-foot ceilings, hardwood floors, detailed millwork, and a grand entry foyer with an elegant staircase. The modern addition offers open-concept living with floor-to-ceiling glass overlooking a private landscaped bamboo garden. A two-story circulation hall connects the historic and modern sections. The home spans three levels and includes a library with built-ins, formal and informal dining areas, and a chef's kitchen with scullery, Thermador appliances, professional gas range, three ovens, two refrigerators, two freezers, three dishwashers, and an ice maker. The lower level includes a media room, wine cellar, guest bedroom, and wellness space with gym, steam shower, and sauna. Upstairs features multiple bedrooms and two primary suites. The upper level of the modern wing serves as a private owner's retreat with dressing room and spa-style bath. Additional features include smart home technology, integrated security system, solar panels, recessed lighting, and a Tesla charging station. Exterior features include a gated driveway with stacked parking, dual entrances, and mature landscaping providing privacy. Conveniently located minutes from Downtown Raleigh, the Village District, parks, the YMCA, and major commuter routes.
