About This Home
North Ridge Neighborhood | Cul-de-sac | Unique Style and Charm | Amazing Back Yard
His & Hers Home Offices | Street of Dreams
Architectural gem “Gainsborough Hall” is a unique, original Raleigh Street of Dreams property nestled on one of North Ridge’s most desirable cul-de-sacs. With easy access to restaurants, shopping, fitness options, the North Ridge Country Club and just minutes from both downtown and RDU, there is no better neighborhood in Raleigh to call home.
Upon entering 1909 Torrey Pines, you will immediately notice the extra high ten foot ceilings, elegant crown moulding, quality of construction and attention to detail. As you walk through the kitchen and living spaces the spacious, colorful back yard shines through the large kitchen widows.
This one-of-a-kind home, built with the finest craftsmanship, acts as a rebel of sorts – standing firm – fighting against the bland “sea of sameness” overtaking new home and teardown construction.
Please come see for yourself.
