Where architectural precision meets private luxury. Custom-crafted by a physician obsessed with spatial design and his educator partner, this modern regionalist estate in Montreux fuses clarity with enduring utility. Every line, material, and transition was considered to elevate daily experience. Positioned on a level one-acre lot and wrapped in ambient landscape lighting, the home sits like a sculpture at rest—equal parts glamour and grounded. Spanning over five thousand five hundred square feet, the layout balances retreat and connection. The double-height foyer with boutique-style iron and glass doors opens into a series of integrated living zones: a chef's kitchen with reclaimed wood and quartz island, a concealed butler's pantry, and a living room where wood beams extend across the ceiling in a continuous architectural rhythm. Sliding glass walls disappear into a covered outdoor lounge—Phantom-screened and designed for all-season entertaining. At the rear, the backyard reads like a luxury resort: a heated pool, spa, firepit, butterfly garden, and checkerboard terrace surrounded by towering pines. The second-level Sky Gallery offers a panoramic perch for sunrise yoga or sunset cocktails. Inside, every angle was engineered for light, sightlines, and serenity. The main level primary suite evokes hotel-level privacy, with its spa bath, heated floors, dual closets, and direct garden access. Upstairs, a dedicated entertainment wing, full guest suite, and multi-tiered office deliver separation without sacrifice. Whole-home smart systems, dual HVAC, tankless water, full-perimeter surveillance, and an EV-ready three-car garage deliver modern resilience. From the gallery-lit staircase designed by the owner to the curated lighting by Ferguson, this home speaks in details. Some surprises remain tucked behind closed doors—a nod to the lifestyle it was built to protect. Located at the intersection of Raleigh's premier zip codes—27613, 27614, and 27615—Montreux offers wooded privacy with prime access. For design-focused buyers seeking architectural depth, long-range livability, and land-backed luxury, this estate delivers clarity at scale.
