Historic grandeur meets contemporary luxury in this stunning home with an award-winning modernist addition. This important, 110-year-old Georgian Revival has grand and light-filled formal rooms with high ceilings and ornate architectural details. In 2018, the historic house was fully renovated and restored using only the finest materials. The two-story, award-winning modernist addition by Tonic Architects was added to the rear of the home, which provides spacious contemporary living areas and high-tech amenities. 117 Hillcrest is located on a quiet, tree-lined street in Forest Park, one of Raleigh’s most desirable neighborhoods. The house and street are a peaceful forest oasis, but Downtown Raleigh’s best shops, restaurants, and museums are just around the corner. From the street, the original house's venerable brick façade still greets visitors as it has for over 100 years. But upon entering the foyer, the house reveals an unexpected expanse of opulent formal rooms as well as sprawling modern living spaces of steel, wood, glass, marble, light, and air.
