2425 Argyle Dr, Raleigh, NC 27609

Locations like this don't come along often--set directly across from Carolina Country Club in the coveted Lakeview neighborhood, this classic brick Colonial Revival estate blends timeless Southern tradition with exceptional everyday livability. Situated on a lush, estate-sized .72-acre lot, the home is framed by prolific landscaping, accent lighting, and irrigation, with a circular driveway and 3-car garage creating a grand first impression. A blue stone covered front entry with iron railing welcomes you inside, where natural light pours through skylights and solar tubes, making overhead lighting nearly unnecessary during the day. The thoughtfully designed first floor offers a gracious foyer, formal living and dining rooms, a sun-filled office, and a stunning primary suite, all anchored by a vaulted kitchen and family room that seamlessly connect for entertaining. The kitchen features custom maple cabinetry, paneled refrigerator, solid surface countertops, trash compactor, wine fridge, and a Viking 6-burner gas cooktop, while heated floors in both the kitchen and primary bath elevate comfort. The primary suite is a true retreat with vaulted ceilings, a sitting room, gas fireplace, dual walk-in closets, and a spa-like bath with heated floors, jetted tub, and separate shower. Upstairs, two staircases lead to an ensuite bedroom and two additional bedrooms with a shared hall bath. Outdoor living shines with a vaulted screened porch, wood deck with built-in gas grill, and a paver patio overlooking the private grounds. Additional highlights include four fireplaces (three gas, one wood-burning), updated windows throughout, a light-filled family room with stacked stone fireplace and built-ins, first-floor laundry, copper gutters with guards, and a finished basement with separate stairwell (not included in square footage due to ceiling height). This is a rare opportunity to own a truly special home in one of Raleigh's most desirable locations.
