Welcome to this professionally designed, stunning penthouse floor residence in one of Raleigh's most vibrant and walkable neighborhoods. Every surface has been meticulously updated with premium materials, custom millwork, and elevated finishes throughout. This one-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath condo offers a true blend of sophistication and effortless city living. From the moment you enter, curated design details set the tone. From the arched niche with designer wallcovering, to the wide-plank luxury flooring, new solid-core doors, and modern light fixtures throughout. The main living space is both striking and functional, anchored by a floor-to-ceiling custom porcelain-tile fireplace surround, bespoke built-ins, and a stunning white-oak fluted feature wall. The kitchen has been completely transformed with high-end finishes, including Calacatta Gold quartz countertops with a waterfall-edge island and quartz face, a marble backsplash to the ceiling, custom cabinetry, Rohl fixtures, and new appliances. Every detail has been considered for both everyday living and entertaining. The primary suite continues the elevated aesthetic with a beautifully renovated bath featuring a custom white oak vanity, quartz countertop with 6'' mitered edge, designer wallpaper, marble and glass penny tile flooring, and a fully updated shower with custom glass and brass detailing. Step outside to your private balcony with teak flooring. It's the perfect place to unwind above the energy of the city. Recent major improvements, including a new HVAC compressor (2023), water heater (2023), and living room window (2024), provide peace of mind alongside the home's cosmetic upgrades.
