About this home
''Chateau Coronado'' is a truly one-of-a-kind, quintessential Mid-Century Modern masterpiece featuring dramatic architectural design and breathtaking natural surroundings. Designed by iconic architect Don Stewart and originally built by former City of Raleigh Planning Director A.C. Hall—who personally selected this extraordinary homesite—this residence holds a rare place in Raleigh's architectural history. Located in the highly coveted North Hills Estates in the heart of Midtown, just 7 miles from downtown, the home is surrounded by multimillion-dollar estates and offers unmatched privacy in a sprawling 1.28-acre park-like setting.
Strategically set back and elevated from the street, this 4,757 sq ft two-level split design home feels like a private resort retreat in the middle of the city. A custom stamped concrete drive leads to generous parking and a covered porch, while the home's treehouse-like elevation and stunning floor-to-ceiling window wall frame sweeping panoramic views of the pool, tropical gardens, and forest beyond—visible from nearly every room. The outdoor living experience is nothing short of magical, with a resort-style pool, tropical landscaping, screened cabana, multiple decks, and complete seclusion from neighboring properties.
The outdoor spaces are an entertainer's dream and a daily escape. Enjoy floating in the pool beneath a Carolina blue sky by day and soaking in the soft, dramatic landscape lighting by night, with blooming crape myrtles, banana plants, gardenias, tea olives, roses, and towering pines surrounding you. A private walking path winds through your own enchanted forest, leading to a rare, ancient quartz-veined rock formation that now serves as a natural patio—creating an unforgettable setting for quiet reflection or evening wine beneath the fall colors.
Inside, the grand foyer opens immediately to the stunning great room with cathedral ceilings, exposed wood beams, gleaming hardwood floors, a stacked-stone gas fireplace, and an entire wall of glass framing the backyard oasis. The gourmet kitchen features granite countertops, handcrafted all-wood cherry cabinetry, Dacor 5-burner gas cooktop, double wall ovens with hybrid microwave, beverage center with wine refrigerator, large eat-at island, and access to both the covered patio and adjoining formal dining room with elevated deck access.
The main level primary suite is a private retreat with pool views, dual closets, laundry access, double vanity, linen storage, and a sunroom-style sitting area with private exterior stair access to the pool. This level also includes two additional bedrooms with a full hall bath, plus two more flex rooms ideal for office, studio, or guest use—each with generous closet space throughout.
The lower level offers a show-stopping media and entertainment area with custom tiger maple columns, wainscoting, reflective mirrored accents, a second stacked-stone double-sided gas fireplace, full wet bar, and direct pool views. Also on this level is a large second primary suite or gym with ensuite bath, walk-in closet, additional guest bath, sunroom sitting area, and utility room—providing excellent potential for in-law living or income-producing space.
The home has been fully renovated and expanded by its long-time owner, an award-winning custom builder and developer, and includes major additions, a screened cabana and deck, geothermal HVAC system, and whole-house Generac generator. With privacy, acreage, landscaping, pool, architectural pedigree, and countless upgrades rarely found in new construction, this home truly offers it all!...
