This pristine home, sited beautifully on a just over one-acre lot, has been lovingly owned and transformed by the same family since its build. You will immediately notice some of the most enviable landscaping in all of the triangle. Original trees are balanced with a thoughtfully architected landscape design project (2008-2010) and specimen plantings, all of which is mature, creating a serene setting impossible to achieve in new clear-cut or small lot-size neighborhoods. Upon entering the home, you will appreciate the interiors, intentionally and carefully designed to curate an elevated, transitional home, balancing warm/cool hues, metal finishes, and textures to leave a truly timeless and subtle, versus trendy, aesthetic. Sophisticated designer lighting and wall coverings and custom window treatments convey throughout the home, reflecting years of interior design projects, providing not just ''move in ready'' but a designer move in ready environment. The floor plan brings the best of everything... first floor primary suite, five total bedrooms (one of which is currently being used as a second home office), first floor front living area (currently used as a primary office), and a hybrid open concept space with both open and extended living spaces with a harmonious flow. Every room perfectly proportioned, and EVERY room is updated from original custom build. The above-garage flex space can be pivoted to accommodate home theater, home gym, and/or play/game room. The unfinished attic and spacious fully finished garage provide worlds of storage. The outdoor living space is extensive and harmonious with the overall environment. A back terrace extends into an architected patio and outdoor kitchen including a gas + wood burning firepit to entertain, all canopied by gorgeous trees to shade the space. The adjacent screened porch compliments the outdoor living options. Extensive natural screening ensures, whether from the inside or outside, you experience an abundance of greenery and privacy, and view almost nothing else from adjacent properties. Additional upgrades include: comprehensive landscape lighting, custom millwork throughout, fully integrated and expansive home automation (spanning climate, lighting, security, audio, windows, sensors, garage doors, etc), whole house audio, high-end tile choices, counters, and designer bathroom fixtures. All major upkeep is current including a new roof (2024), and major appliances and HVAC all having been replaced since build. 1616 Kirkby provides a secluded, established neighborhood with proximity to North Raleigh shopping & dining conveniences, and is a perfect central location for commutes to downtown Raleigh, RTP, Durham, and Wake Forest.
