About this home
Experience refined elegance in this 13,341 sq. ft. Mediterranean-inspired estate set on 3.31 private acres in Maida Vale, one of the Triangle's premier gated communities. Offering unmatched privacy with unbeatable proximity, this exceptional property is just minutes from the Research Triangle Park, RDU Airport, Duke, UNC, world-class healthcare and premiere shopping. A true in-town estate, it combines expansive grounds, luxurious amenities, and ultra-low-maintenance concrete construction with barrel tile roof-ensuring longevity, energy efficiency, and peace of mind. Designed for both everyday luxury and large scale entertaining, this home offers an array of premier indoor and outdoor amenities including: an expansive covered veranda and outdoor kitchen with fireplace, lounge area, and retractable window walls (ideal for year-round indoor/outdoor living); private sports court for basketball, pickleball, and outdoor fitness; separate gym with steam shower; private movie theater and wine room; and a level rear yard with conceived for a custom pool (subject to approvals). Whether hosting intimate gatherings or grand celebrations, the seamless flow between indoor and outdoor spaces creates an effortless entertaining experience. Standout features include a fully self-contained lower level-ideal for extended family, long-term guests, or multi-generational living with a second, full kitchen, two private bedrooms, large living area with fireplace, direct walkout access to the sports court, and private elevator with separate staircase. The main level is thoughtfully curated to balance comfort, privacy, and sophistication featuring a private owner's wing with dedicated study, a blend of formal and informal living spaces, a gourmet chef's kitchen with premium appliances, floor to ceiling windows filling the home with natural light, a guest suite, 2nd office, and direct access to the covered veranda. Upstairs, three specious guest suites await-including a second primary-are complemented by two private balconies overlooking the estate grounds. Located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, the home sits slightly elevated with a circular drive and covered portico, creating an impressive and welcoming arrival. Inside, dramatic curved staircases and clear sightlines to the lush backyard through seamless glass windows set the stage for the home's warm, understated elegance. With its rare acreage, solid block construction, low maintenance design, and resort level amenities, this residence represents one of the best-priced luxury estates in the Triangle-offering exceptional value and a combination of features seldom found in any in-town setting. This is more than a home-it's a private sanctuary, a lifestyle, and a legacy estate. Conceptual image of virtual pool AI generated....
