Introducing Rosewood, a remarkable six-acre lakefront country estate minutes from downtown Raleigh and RDU Airport. A stunning residence uniquely designed to maximize lake and garden vistas from indoors and out. The gated brick drive winds through lush greenery before arriving at the residence where you will discover a beautiful water feature in the center of the paver stone motor court. A columned front porch, perfect for rocking chairs, greets you as you enter through the two-story foyer. An abundance of natural light gives the interior a warm, comfortable feel, while decorative moldings, cornices, wainscoting and beautifully stained hardwoods balance it with a more elegant and formal feel. Windows and French doors line the back side of the home and provide access from the living and breakfast rooms onto a bluestone covered veranda with expansive views of the exceptional gardens and lake. The gourmet kitchen also overlooks the lake and features a Wolf gas range with double ovens, Wolf wall oven and warming drawer, two single-drawer dishwashers, a paneled SubZero refrigerator, wine refrigerator, and a large walk-in pantry. There is the potential for main and second-level owners' suite plus two additional bedrooms on the second level. The second-floor owners' suite overlooks the rose gardens and lake with French doors leading out to its private balcony. For indoor entertainment, there is a third-floor bonus room and a theater room on the main level with custom cherry built-ins, a Sony projector and sound system, a drop-down screen, and custom leather movie chairs.

Outside, you will appreciate one of the Triangle's premier gardens, professionally designed by noted landscape artist Chip Callaway (info at www.chipcallaway.com). The circular rose garden feature overlooking the lake is uniquely special. Throughout the grounds are quiet niches inspiringly designed for peaceful relaxation. The expansive veranda, gated salt water pool, hot tub, gazebo and fireplace, are a perfect place to relax or entertain. Another garden gate leads to a lush Koi pond with a soothing water feature.

There is plenty of storage with two detached 3-car garages. One includes a finished apartment above it with a full bathroom that is currently used as a gym. Two additional work garages are perfect for hobbies, gardening sheds, or more vehicle storage. Additional features of the property include: three fireplaces, plantation shutters throughout the home, a home automation system by Control 4, Sonos sound system throughout, a whole-house water purification and water softening system, a 42-zoned irrigation system that adjusts with the weather, an invisible fence, and an automatic dog door.
