Sharing is caring!

This weekend I got to took the Triangle Parade of Homes tour and got to see a dreamy Nantucket style home that was just built and sits – shockingly – in Raleigh, North Carolina. It did NOT disappoint!

This is a two part series sharing three newly built homes I had the pleasure of touring. See the second home I toured here!

This home was open to the public as part of the Triangle Parade of Homes.

I shared some videos on my Instagram account but those stories disappear after a few hours. When I was in the planning stages of our new build home I was always taking screenshots of new homes! I thought it best to put all the photos here where you can also pin them or refer to them later.

A Classic Nantucket Style Estate in Raleigh, NC

This post will be picture heavy – but nobody came here for my thoughts, right? 😉

This Nantucket style home has a rather New England exterior, don’t you think? Although the street the home sits on is filled with other attractive homes, this exterior is unique to our area and stands out. The home immediately brought me back to our family vacations in Cape Cod.

If you’re wondering if this Nantucket style home, built by Annis Mangrum in 2020, is without the New England price tag, I’ll let you be the judge. This home is priced at $1.9 million and is a 5 bedroom with 4,503 sq feet. It has a prime location for our area – right inside the beltway (meaning, convenient to everything), on a gorgeous tree-lined street surrounded by other beautiful homes.

Although the cost of living and homes in North Carolina is generally lower than the rest of the US, this home is nestled in the best locations you can get for a Raleigh lifestyle.

A Wood and White Kitchen

White pearl marble used in the kitchen.

I noticed the island ran perpendicular to the open living room. If you are planning a kitchen island to be situated this way, consider adding barstools on two sides. If you create seating like in these photos, the kitchen will feel more open to conversation.

That gorgeous flooring is 7″ width Norwegian White Oak flooring. The medium stain fits the meeting of modern and traditional style this house offers.

You can read all the details about how great white oak flooring is and see my white oak floors in this post!

Hello high back chairs that look like a million bucks and are from Target!

How charming is the built in kitchen nook with a built in bench. Again – traditional meeting modern.

Wallpaper in a butlers pantry? Yes, please! The contrast of the darker cabinets, a different tile than the kitchen, and fun wallpaper set this space as its own room from the kitchen. Another space with built in pantry shelving is located on the opposite side of the cabinetry wall.

The living room opens to the covered back patio. The porch ceiling is wired for heaters (brilliant!) and makes use of skylights. This helps the interior of the home also receive more light.

I noticed the interior of many of the windows are dark, and white on the outside to keep the more traditional, Nantucket style home feel on the exterior.
