Expansive recreational spaces further distinguish the home, including an open recreation area with a billiards room, wet bar, media room, and bonus room, as well as a versatile third-floor flex space ideal for a fitness studio, executive office, or guest retreat. Outdoor living rivals that of a private resort. A spectacular fenced outdoor oasis showcases extensive hardscaping, travertine terraces, a saltwater pool and spa, fire features, a Tiki Hut gathering space, greenhouse, paved walking paths, and curated landscape lighting, all overlooking a private stocked pond and beautifully illuminated grounds that create an unparalleled setting for entertaining and relaxation. 281 Rosemont Drive presents a rare opportunity to own a legacy property defined by privacy, craftsmanship, and elevated living in one of the Triangle's most desirable settings.
