Keep reading for a few of our favorite things about this Urban Building Solutions custom-built home.
What We Love About 209 Georgetown
A few weeks ago, Urban Building Solutions’s founder Hank McCullough and Allison did a Facebook Live walk-through of the house that will give you a better idea of the layout and more!
Hank chose to go with grays, blues, browns, and beiges for this home. These are all very natural, earthy tones, that complement the other features and landscaping. The shutters were made by Hank and his team and will match the mahogany front door. The brick used on the front porch was made by a local company, Triangle Brick Company. On a lot of our recent homes, we have used stone for the entire front porch so this was a fun way to mix things up and really make this house stand out.
We upgraded the stone that is used on the floor of the front porch and screened-in porch to add some architecture to it. When you walk in, you will find yourself standing in the gorgeous foyer. On one side of the foyer is the dining room and on the other is a large home office. In today’s work-from-home climate, we thought it was very important to have a large, designated office space. We stole a little bit of space from under the staircase to do custom built-ins in the office to make this room even more functional.
One of our favorite features of 209 Georgetown is the two french doors that lead to the front porch. One is located in the dining room and the other is in the office. Open them up for a nice breeze or to walk right out and enjoy wine or coffee on your front porch.
Speaking of easy access to the outside, the large kitchen has sliding glass doors that open to the screened-in porch and backyard. The gourmet kitchen flows into the living room and is connected to the dining room through a butler’s pantry. The kitchen island is over six feet long and perfect for entertaining. In the kitchen, you will also find custom cabinets and stainless steel appliances.
The wow-factor in the living room is the gorgeous brick fireplace. The cabinet and paint colors will all play off the color of the brick.
There are four bedrooms that are all located on the second floor. The large master bedroom has a gorgeous ensuite and the guest suite also has a private bathroom. The other two bedrooms share a buddy bathroom. Each of the bathrooms has very unique tile work and high-end finishes that we can’t wait to show you.
That’s not all… there is also a third floor that is plumbed for a future barth and addition! With over 3,300 square feet of living space, there is plenty of room for family and friends.
One of the Largest Lots in Five Points
One thing you will instantly notice about 209 Georgetown is how large and flat the lot is. In fact, it is the largest on the street, giving you an awesome backyard in the heart of Raleigh! Large lots in Five Points are very hard to come by, which is a key factor in making this one of our favorite homes we have built. We had so much room to design this large house and still give the homeowner a dream backyard.
Location, Location, Location
Last but not least, we love Five Points. From coffee shops and restaurants to boutiques and breweries, there is something for everyone. We have put together a list of our top five reasons to live in Five Points, even though, we could say so many more.
More Coming Soon…
As you can see, 209 Georgetown is still under construction. We will add pictures of the finished project soon but this house is not going to be available long. Give Allison a call at 919-395-6186 for information or to schedule a showing.
