8601 O'Neal Road
Raleigh, NC 27613This remarkable 2018 Homestead Builders custom home is gracefully set on 1.36 acres, backing to the serene waters of the Big Lake in Springdale Estates. A rare opportunity, the property combines timeless design, refined finishes, and an extraordinary setting. Inside, the residence offers 4 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, a main-level guest suite, and a versatile flex room that may serve as a fifth bedroom. A spacious bonus room and walk-up attic—ready for future customization—add both function and possibility. The entry foyer opens to a handsome office with coffered ceilings and an elegant dining room, establishing a sense of sophistication from the start. The chef's kitchen is a showcase of form and function, featuring a gas cooktop framed by an arabesque backsplash, wall and convection ovens, a generous center island, butler's pantry, walk-in pantry, and premium refrigerator. A thoughtfully designed drop zone with custom storage and built-in charging completes this highly functional wing of the home. Open-concept living continues in the expansive family room, accented with custom built-ins, a gas fireplace, and double sliders that extend the living space to a screened porch with tranquil lake views. Hardwood floors, tall wainscoting, and plantation shutters enhance the sense of refinement throughout the main level. Upstairs, the light-filled primary suite evokes the ambiance of a private retreat with a spa-inspired bath, including a soaking tub overlooking the water, an oversized walk-in shower, and a large dressing closet. Three additional bedrooms, each with direct bath access, plus a generous laundry room, complete the second level. Outdoors, the property unfolds into a private sanctuary. Multiple firepit areas invite evening gatherings, while sweeping lake views and the natural landscape create a setting of rare beauty. This residence offers the ideal blend of craftsmanship, comfort, and a coveted waterfront lifestyle in one of Northwest Raleigh's most distinguished communities.
