About this home

Located in Forest Park, one of Raleigh's most sought-after inside-the-beltline neighborhoods, 117 Hillcrest Road is a rare opportunity to own an architecturally significant home that blends historic Georgian Revival design with modern luxury living.
Originally built more than 110 years ago, the home was once owned by Dr. John Reuer of NC State's College of Design, giving it a notable place in Raleigh's architectural history. The current owners partnered with Katherine Hogan Architects to complete a full renovation and create a striking two-story modern addition. The project received a 2018 North Carolina American Institute of Architects (AIA) award, recognizing its thoughtful integration of historic architecture and contemporary design.
The historic portion of the home features light-filled formal rooms, 10-foot ceilings, hardwood floors, intricate woodwork, and a grand entry foyer with an elegant staircase.
The modern expansion introduces open-concept living with floor-to-ceiling glass walls overlooking a private landscaped bamboo garden. A dramatic two-story circulation hall connects the historic and modern wings.
Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the home spans three levels and includes:
• Library with custom built-ins
• Formal and informal dining spaces
• Chef's kitchen with scullery
• Thermador appliances including professional gas range
• Three ovens, two refrigerators, two freezers
• Three dishwashers and ice maker
The lower level offers additional living space with a media room, wine cellar, guest bedroom, and wellness area featuring a gym, steam shower, and sauna.
Upstairs includes multiple bedrooms and two separate primary suites. The modern wing's upper level serves as a private owner's retreat with dressing room and spa-inspired bathroom.
Additional features include:
• Whole-house smart home technology
• Integrated security system
• Solar panels
• Recessed lighting throughout
• Tesla fast-charging station
Outside, a gated driveway with stacked parking and dual entrances provides both convenience and privacy. High fencing and mature landscaping create a private garden setting in the heart of Raleigh.
This exceptional property is located just minutes from Downtown Raleigh, the Village District (Cameron Village), shopping, restaurants, parks, the YMCA, and major commuter routes.
117 Hillcrest Road offers a rare combination of historic character, award-winning architecture, and modern luxury in one of Raleigh's most desirable neighborhoods....
