129 Windel Drive, Raleigh, NC 27609

This stunning custom home is nestled just minutes from North Hills and checks every box—elegant, functional, and built to last by L and L of Raleigh. Thoughtfully designed and impeccably finished, it offers nearly 3,500 square feet of living space that balances everyday comfort with elevated style. Set on a beautifully landscaped lot with a fenced backyard, brick front porch, and screened-in porch overlooking a large patio, it's the kind of home that's hard to find—and even harder to leave. Inside, you'll find wide-plank hardwood floors, 10-foot ceilings, and custom trim work that carries throughout. The entry is grand yet welcoming, leading to a formal dining room wrapped in wainscoting and detailed molding. The heart of the home is a true chef's kitchen featuring Thermador appliances, a six-burner gas cooktop with vented hood, double ovens, and a gorgeous backsplash. Stone countertops, custom cabinetry, and a deep designer sink complete the look, while both a butler's pantry and a spacious walk-in pantry provide exceptional storage. The kitchen flows seamlessly into a light-filled living area anchored by a gas fireplace and built-in cabinetry. Double sliders open to the oversized screened-in porch, where you'll overlook the private backyard—fully fenced and ready for relaxing evenings or weekend gatherings. The main-level primary suite is a retreat all its own. Oversized and refined, it features stunning trim work and a spa-style bath with dual sinks, a freestanding soaking tub, a zero-entry shower with bench, and a linen closet with built-ins. The walk-in closet is impressively outfitted with custom shelving, drawers, and bookcase-style built-ins for added storage and organization. A thoughtful landing area leads to a finished two-car garage with custom floor coating, a built-in storage system, and side-door entry. A half bath and a laundry room with a deep sink and generous cabinetry keep things practical and tidy. Upstairs, the home continues to impress with a flexible loft space—perfect as a second living area, office, or playroom—plus three spacious bedrooms. One features an en-suite bath, while the other two share a hall bath with dual sinks. An additional bonus room with built-ins adds even more flexibility for media, guests, or hobbies—and there's no shortage of closet space throughout. Behind the scenes, thoughtful touches like ceiling fans, paneled interior doors, a tankless water heater, and a concrete driveway round out the home's long list of upgrades including additional storage accessible in the backyard that has loads of possibilities. This is a home where every detail has been considered—and where timeless design meets everyday practicality. Don't miss your chance to make it yours.
