Modernist Home of the Month: A North Hills Reinvention
There are renovations—and then there are reinventions.
721 Currituck Drive in Raleigh is the latter. Located in the heart of North Hills and listed at $1,199,999, this four-bedroom, four-full-bath, one-half-bath residence spans 2,983 square feet on a rare 0.54-acre lot. Taken down to the studs and rebuilt with intention, the home blends modern architecture, advanced systems, and everyday livability into one cohesive design.
From soaring ceilings to integrated technology and energy-efficient performance features, this is contemporary Raleigh living done right.

A Light-Filled Architectural Welcome
From the moment the front door opens, natural light sets the tone. Skylights draw light downward, emphasizing height and creating an immediate sense of openness.
Sightlines extend effortlessly from one space to the next, reinforcing the home’s modern framework. There is no visual clutter, just balance and flow.
Open Living with Purpose
The main living area transitions seamlessly into the kitchen, creating a cohesive central gathering space. Expansive windows allow daylight to travel across the interior, highlighting the home’s clean lines and thoughtful proportions.
This is an open-concept design done intentionally. The layout feels connected without sacrificing definition, offering flexibility for both entertaining and everyday living.
A Kitchen Designed as a Focal Point
At the heart of the home, the kitchen functions as both workspace and statement.
High-end stainless-steel appliances are integrated into a streamlined design, complemented by a touchscreen refrigerator and a built-in filtration system. The oversized quartz waterfall island anchors the room, its sculptural edges adding visual weight and refinement.
It is a space designed for gathering, for hosting, and for everyday moments that happen around the counter.
A Primary Suite Defined by Scale
The primary suite embraces vertical space with dramatic 22-foot ceilings, creating a sense of calm through openness. The spa-inspired bath continues the modern narrative with heated floors, a soaking tub, sauna, Bluetooth-enabled shower system, and a hard-wired bidet.
Dual French doors open to a custom closet outfitted with built-ins and motion lighting, blending luxury with efficiency.
Every detail feels deliberate.
Upstairs: Dimension and Character
Upstairs, three additional bedrooms and a designer powder room continue the home’s contemporary aesthetic. Each room reflects the same commitment to scale, light, and thoughtful design.
Lower Level Versatility
The lower level expands the home’s functionality with a spiral staircase, family room, flex space/office, a fourth bedroom with an en-suite bath, and a dedicated laundry room. The layout offers privacy and adaptability, ideal for guests, remote work, or multi-generational living.
Modern homes are designed to evolve with their owners, and this one provides the flexibility to do exactly that.
Outdoor Living with Room to Imagine
Set on more than half an acre, the outdoor space offers rare breathing room in North Hills. Two distinct decks create layered entertaining opportunities, one covered for year-round use and one open to the sky.
There is ample space to design a custom pool or backyard retreat, allowing the exterior to become an extension of the home’s architectural vision.
Spray-foam insulation enhances energy efficiency and interior comfort, underscoring the balance between performance and design.
The North Hills Advantage
Perfectly positioned in one of Raleigh’s most vibrant districts, 721 Currituck Drive places you minutes from North Hills, boutique shopping, dining, and entertainment.
It is uncommon to find a fully rebuilt modern residence of this scale on a lot this size in such a connected location. The result is a home that feels private yet central, refined yet livable.
Modern. Intentional. Distinctly Raleigh.
