Chateau d'Amour - Where Love & Luxury Meet! A Modern Victorian Home on 2 Acres Perched on top of a hill, this modern Victorian-inspired home exudes luxury & timeless charm on a 2-acre, private lot in Wake Forest. Step into a world of Southern elegance with an inviting wrap-around porch, covered patio and a nine-window turret adding to the home's character. Surrounded by high-end homes, embrace the harmony of nature with bird songs, dine al fresco on the porch with garden-fresh herbs, and create cherished memories under starry or moonlit skies with loved ones.The Story America has provided countless individuals with the opportunity for a better life, and our family is grateful to be one of them. We acknowledge the sacrifices made by those who came before us, which have afforded us the peace, freedom, and lifestyle we enjoy today.Through hard work, persistence, and determination, we've turned our dreams into reality. With a large family, we needed a space where we could celebrate without inconveniencing others. Mom's desire for a wrap-around porch and my wish for a turret, with its natural light and expansive views, were brought to life by a known and highly acclaimed architect and built by a local, reputable custom builder. Over the past 15 years, family members who were staying at the property waxed and waned as they went on to have their own homes prompting us to share this American Dream with others. It's heartwarming to witness others enjoy our home, even for a brief time.Chateau d'Amour aptly reflects the love that fills this space, dedicated to family and friends.The Space:Chateau d'Amour embodies luxurious yet relaxed living. Its sculptural facade and expansive verandas offer comfort and a warm welcome. Upon entry, an 80-foot view axis leads through the rotunda to the family room fireplace. The circular floor plan effortlessly connects the formal living room, formal dining through the butler's pantry, kitchen and den. Access to the outdoors is provided by the covered outdoor dining and BBQ porch and through the formal dining room. The circular stairway in the rotunda leads to the spacious primary suite retreat. The upper floor includes a guest suite, two suites sharing the turret, and a large media room with a bar area.Despite its substantial 5,348 sq ft size, the home feels far from overwhelming exuding warm and cozy ambiance. Whether it's karaoke in the family room, piano in the formal living room, watching tv in the bonus room or playing pool /table tennis in the garage or dancing under the moonlight on the outside dance floor, each space is designed for enjoyment and privacy from other activities.Watching the changing seasons, from cherry blossoms and azaleas in spring to hummingbirds in summer, or fireflies at night or the golden leaves in the fall create a serene atmosphere. The property's bird feeding stations attract a variety of North Carolina birds. A telescope and binoculars enhance the experience.Other Important Details:The bedroom configurations upstairs include:Owners Suite - king-size bed 2nd BR - queen-size bed with a twin trundle bed3rd BR right of turret - 2 queen-size beds4th BR left of turret - king size bed and a setteeBonus room - sectional sofa with a pull out queen bed.
