Experience a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a custom-built estate in Watson's Mill, the premier gated enclave of Flowers Plantation. Situated on a rare double lot, this one-owner masterpiece offers unparalleled privacy, with nature as your neighbor. Designed for effortless main-level living without sacrificing scale, the home is a sanctuary of quality. The primary wing features a bay-windowed executive office and a luxe suite with a sitting area, electric fireplace, and private access to a dedicated composite deck with a hot tub. The spa bath is a masterclass in tranquility, boasting a Sanijet tub, a rain shower, and a custom Elfa system closet. The heart of the home is an architectural delight, from the formal dining room opening to a private courtyard for ''al fresco'' dining to the vaulted family room with a double-sided gas fireplace. The gourmet kitchen is a chef's dream, equipped with cherry cabinetry, Miele and GE Monogram appliances, a pot filler, and a massive prep island. The second floor offers exceptional versatility, with a large bonus/4th bedroom, a full bath, and cavernous walk-in storage. The ''crown jewel'' is the finished walk-out basement--an entertainer's paradise with a home theater, wet bar, Rec Room, lounge, and dedicated workshop. Outside, almost 700 sq. ft. of covered paver patio space overlooks a level yard where deer frequently graze. Complete with a drive-through portico and 3-car garage capacity, this estate offers a lifestyle beyond its gates. You are just minutes from The Waterfront at Flowers for upscale dining and the Flowers Plantation Club's resort-style pools, spa, and fitness center. Enjoy the nearby Neuse River Trail or explore the charming shops, award-winning eateries, and local boutiques of Downtown Clayton, all just 10 minutes from your front door. This estate is not just a home--it is a destination.
