About this home
Located in Forest Park, one of Raleigh's most desirable inside-the-beltline neighborhoods, 117 Hillcrest Road blends historic grandeur with contemporary luxury. This important 110-year-old Georgian Revival, originally owned by Dr. John Reuer of NC State's College of Design, carries a distinguished architectural lineage. The current owners commissioned Tonic Design to fully renovate the home and create a modern two-story expansion. The result is a seamless dialogue between past and present. The project won a coveted NC American Institute of Architects award in 2018. The original residence showcases grand, light-filled formal rooms with high 10' ceilings, ornate woodwork, and hardwood floors. A wide entry foyer and elegant staircase establish a sense of timeless sophistication. While the original portion of the home maintains a formal layout, the addition introduces an open, transparent space with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking a private landscaped bamboo garden. A bright 2-story circulation hall links the two structures. The home spans three levels and is designed for both everyday living and large-scale entertaining. Highlights include a library with custom built-ins, two kitchens, and both formal and informal dining spaces. A chef's dream, the kitchens feature Thermador appliances, a professional gas range, three ovens, two refrigerators, two freezers, three dishwashers, and an ice maker. The lower level includes a media room, guest suite, and a wellness area with gym, steam shower, and sauna. Upstairs offers multiple bedrooms, including two separate primary suites. The modern wing's second level serves as a private owner's retreat with dressing room and spa-inspired bath. Additional storage is provided by a walk-in attic with potential to be finished as a possible fourth level for a sixth bedroom, office or rooftop deck. The property is fully equipped with state-of-the-art amenities: whole-house smart technology, integrated security system, active solar panels, recessed lighting, and a Tesla fast-charging station. The secured, gated driveway offers stacked parking and dual entry ways for convenience and privacy. High fencing surrounds the landscaped yard, creating a private oasis in the heart of the city. The location is unmatched—just minutes from downtown Raleigh, Cameron Village, shopping, dining, a YMCA and major highway arteries. 117 Hillcrest Road is more than a home—it is a rare architectural conversation, where historic grandeur meets modern design, offering an elegant canvas for living, entertaining, and celebrating Raleigh's design heritage.
