All in a premium location. Tucked into one of the city's most distinctive residential enclaves, the property feels worlds removed from the thriving city around it. More than a home, this is a thoughtfully cultivated retreat with modern architecture, natural materials, stunning landscaping, quality features and more. Inside, clean architectural lines are softened by warm wood, natural stone, and carefully considered details. Expansive glass doors, skylights, and windows bring in abundant natural light and create an effortless connection between the interior and its lush surroundings. The main Living and Dining spaces have a sophisticated contemporary character, with rich wood floors, distinctive architectural elements, and an open flow equally suited to quiet evenings or entertaining. Multiple doors open directly to outdoor living spaces, allowing the house to live as beautifully outside as it does within. Throughout the home, exceptional details set it apart: a sculptural spiral staircase of wood and metal, extensive built-in bookshelves, gallery-like walls for displaying art, and unexpected architectural moments at every turn. A dramatic hand-hewn stone vessel sink paired with minimalist black fixtures brings the same natural-modern sensibility into the Primary Bath. One of the home's most inviting spaces is the screened outdoor Living Room, surrounded by mature greenery and designed to be enjoyed for much of the year. With generous Lounge and Dining areas, it feels like another room of the house, only immersed in nature. As twilight settles in, the soundtrack changes to the resident frogs and crickets, creating the remarkable feeling of being far beyond the city. And after dark, another rarity emerges: a surprisingly visible night sky with unusually little light pollution for an urban Raleigh setting, a small but extraordinary luxury in the heart of the city. The landscape itself has been cultivated with the same level of intention as the house. Mature and grafted Japanese maples, along with a rare Japanese dogwood that has become a signature tree of the property, bring sculptural beauty and seasonal color to the grounds. A beautifully integrated stone water garden and pond introduces the sound and movement of water, while established trees and plantings create exceptional privacy, shade, and welcome relief from summer heat. The landscape feels lush and mature without demanding the maintenance of a traditional expansive lawn, a remarkably cultivated setting with comparatively little yard upkeep. The property feels nestled deeply among trees and nature while remaining exceptionally well suited to city living. Healthy, established plantings provide canopy, cooling, privacy, and habitat while creating a sheltered, intimate setting. The home also has an unusual practical advantage: two distinct entrances. One approaches from the front cul-de-sac, while a second street-side entrance at the rear provides additional access and private parking. Together, they offer ample parking and flexibility while preserving the property's remarkable sense of seclusion. Sans Famille itself offers urban living with the intimacy of a small community. It is private without being isolated, distinctive without being remote. And yet, beyond this tucked-away oasis is Raleigh with its restaurants, arts and cultural destinations, universities, shopping, and everyday conveniences all within easy reach. You will find a complete list of extensive updates and special features in the home. Main House sqft is 1761, Separate Apartment sqft is 825, total Property sqft is 2586.
