Single Family Residence In Goldsboro

There are homes you live in, and there are homes you exhale in. Beyond a quiet circular drive and the warm glow of gas lanterns, a pair of mahogany doors open to a moment that stops you: a 24-foot cathedral foyer, twin wrought-iron staircases rising like sculpture, columns and millwork that whisper old-world craftsmanship. This is not a house that was built -- it was composed. Set on 1.07 private acres where the lake meets a championship golf course, this custom French-European stone-and-brick estate gives nearly 6,000 square feet of living that feels less like square footage and more like theater. Firelight from one of three Old World cast-stone hearths plays across knotty-oak floors. The great room soars beneath its own cathedral ceiling, anchored by stone and lined with custom built-ins. The kitchen is a chef’s stage -- professional-grade and dressed in granite, custom cabinetry, and a sculptural cast-stone range hood -- flowing to a den where a mirrored wet bar and floor-to-ceiling bookcases invite the evening to linger. Then the owner’s retreat: heated floors underfoot, Italian marble, a marble fireplace, and a deep soaking tub waiting at the end of a long day. Four en-suite bedrooms offer everyone their own sanctuary, while 1,000+ square feet of pre-ducted, ready-to-finish space dreams of a theater, gym, or guest wing. Plantation shutters, dual systems, tankless comfort, an oversized garage -- and no HOA dues. Tucked within a private lake-and-golf country club community, an easy drive from Raleigh. Some addresses you simply have to see. Full features sheet available on request.
