Listing details for 742 Wimbleton Dr, Raleigh, NC 27609 : 742 Wimbleton Drive is a study in considered luxury, a home designed not simply to impress but to live in beautifully every day. Set on a sprawling 0.77-acre lot in one of Raleigh's most desirable addresses, this 5-bedroom, 5.5-bath residence spans 5,457 square feet, and every one of them reflects an unmistakable design point of view. Reclaimed hardwoods, coved walls, and arched doorways run through the main living areas, precious, story driven details that set this home apart from anything else on the market. Outside, the expansive, private lot offers a resort of its own. An 18-by-42 pool complete with a tanning ledge is framed by a travertine deck, finished with a waterfall-edge spa, a dedicated grill area, and a private pool bathroom with a shower. Mature landscaping wraps the grounds for privacy, providing a secluded escape built for long Carolina evenings and easy weekend gatherings alike. Entertaining is effortless here. The family room's coffered ceiling and custom fireplace anchor the space, while sliding doors open to a screened porch warmed by its own stone fireplace, extending the living space into the open air. A second living area sits off the kitchen, separated by an oversized glass sliding door, and the home's entertaining credentials are rounded out by a butler's bar with a built-in dual-zone wine column and a game room wet bar finished in matte black and brushed gold. Whether the evening calls for a crowd or a quiet nightcap, the home shifts easily to meet it. The kitchen centers on a generous white oak and Giotto quartzite island so your loved ones can keep you company while Wolf and Subzero and appliances make cooking a breeze. Just off the kitchen, through a pair of reclaimed antique wood doors, a full scullery keeps everyday life seamless while preserving the kitchen's editorial calm, outfitted with a second refrigerator, an ice maker, and a built-in microwave drawer. The first-floor primary suite is a retreat unto itself. Featuring views of the sprawling backyard, the primary suite features vaulted ceilings accented with wood beams which connect to a spa-inspired ensuite bathroom featuring two vanities framing a freestanding soaking tub, and a walk-in shower with bench seating, alongside a walk-in closet generous enough to house its own laundry. Design-forward touches carry through every room: a deliberate no-crown-molding profile for clean, tailored lines, hand-selected natural stone including polished Carrara marble and onyx in the primary and secondary baths, a designer-curated whole-home paint palette, and a fully automated Hunter Douglas shade system with room-darkening and light-filtering fabrics throughout. The home is also appointed with Neuwave ensuring all home automation and security is never a second thought. .
