About This Home

Built by Exeter Building Company, this Transitional European-style home with modern Tudor influences blends timeless design with versatility. Set on a private 1.92-acre lot in the gated community of Grand Highland Estates, it offers a peaceful setting with easy access to RTP and Raleigh—combining serenity with convenience. The main level includes a vaulted owner's retreat with spa-like bath and walk-in closet, plus a guest suite with en suite bath. The gourmet kitchen features designer appliances, a large island, and walk-in pantry, flowing into the vaulted dining area and family room with fireplace and built-ins. Upstairs, spacious bedrooms each include en suite baths and walk-in closets, along with a bonus room and study nook—ideal for work, play, or retreat. Designed for flexibility and future growth, the partially finished basement adds a large rec room and unfinished space with endless potential for expansion, hobbies, or multigenerational living. A covered rear porch with stone fireplace extends the living space outdoors, while a 1-car front and 2-car side-entry garage offer flexible, functional parking. This home blends classic style, space, and practicality in one of the area's most desirable communities.
