Stately Brick Home in The Hills of Rosemont!

Welcome to this extraordinary brick estate, where timeless craftsmanship, and luxury finishes come together behind the privacy of a gated community entrance. Designed for both elegant entertaining and comfortable everyday living, this remarkable residence showcases hardwood floors, extensive custom trim work, sophisticated architectural details, and thoughtfully curated upgrades throughout.

This home has it all.

The heart of the home is a chef’s kitchen appointed with premium Wolf, Sub-Zero, and Bosch appliances, granite countertops, crowned cabinetry, a stone backsplash, walk-in pantry, ice maker, second prep sink, and abundant workspace for culinary enthusiasts. Formal and casual living spaces are equally impressive, including a refined dining room wrapped in wainscoting and crown molding with an adjoining butler’s pantry, a stunning living room with a coffered ceiling and fireplace, and a grand family room featuring a second coffered ceiling, two walls of custom built-ins, and a gas fireplace. A distinguished home office with double French doors, extensive wainscoting, and custom built-ins creates an exceptional work-from-home environment.

What Else?

The main-level owner’s retreat offers a private sanctuary complete with a tray ceiling, sitting area, private flagstone patio access through a new Andersen door, and a truly spa-inspired bath featuring dual vanities, a copper soaking tub, heated tile floors, a zero-entry shower with river rock inlay, Kohler rainfall shower and body sprays, a Myson towel warmer, water closet, and a custom walk-in closet with automatic lighting. A guest suite, powder room, and an impressive laundry room with custom cherry cabinetry, Miele washer and dryer, and a Shaw farm sink with Whitehaus fixtures complete the main level.

And there's much, much more...

Upstairs, entertainment and relaxation continue with a bonus room featuring a wet bar, a dedicated theater room with a nearby powder room, and three spacious bedrooms, each with its own private en-suite bath. The third floor offers yet another level of versatility with a bonus room, wet bar, powder room, and stage, ideal for performances, gaming, hobbies, or hosting unforgettable gatherings. Modern conveniences include a whole-home sound system, Crestron lighting controls, and custom Andersen windows throughout key living spaces.

Additionally.

Outside, the estate is equally impressive. A custom front gate and a handcrafted courtyard gate by Story Book Wrought Iron create a memorable arrival, while a screened porch and flagstone patio overlook peaceful wooded surroundings. Additional highlights include front-yard irrigation, professionally designed exterior lighting by Southern Outdoor Lighting, and a Generac generator.

Adding tremendous value and flexibility is the exceptional detached building, featuring two garage bays, a workshop, putting green, loft, flex room, kitchen, dining area, entertainment room, powder room, and laundry, an incredible space for guests, hobbies, recreation, or multigenerational living. Conveniently located just minutes from the American Tobacco Trail, Old Chatham Golf Club, Jordan Lake, and major commuting routes including Highway 55 and the Triangle Expressway, this one-of-a-kind luxury property offers an unparalleled lifestyle in one of the area's most desirable settings.
