''Rare architect-designed modernist home in downtown Raleigh with a private courtyard, two-car garage, and seamless indoor/outdoor living. Designed by Vernacular Studios, recognized with a Sir Walter Raleigh Award, and featured by NCModernist, this home offers a level of design and privacy rarely found in a walkable urban setting. The home was created around light, volume, and connection to outdoor space. Dramatic ceilings, expansive windows, open living areas, and a NanaWall system connect the main living space to a private courtyard framed by a stone privacy wall and fenced yard. The layout is flexible and livable, with a second-floor sun porch off the owner's suite and a third-floor bonus space ideal for an office, guests, media, or recreation. Hardwood floors, quality finishes, a sealed crawl space from the original build, and a high-efficiency Trane HVAC system add practical value beyond the architecture. Additional features include a Level 2 EV charger, extra attic storage, landscape lighting, wired networking, chef-quality gas range, Sub-Zero glass-front refrigerator, and built-in patio speakers. Located near downtown Raleigh parks, museums, restaurants, and everyday conveniences.''
