290 Hidden Lake Dr, Youngsville, NC, 27596

This Gold Award–winning Brandywine Homes design sits on an unusually private 3.82-acre homesite in Hidden Lake and delivers lake views, generous entertaining spaces, and high-end detailing throughout. From the moment you arrive, the custom exterior hints at the craftsmanship inside: site-finished hardwoods, plantation shutters, electric blinds, and clean, purposeful lines that carry through nearly 4,000 square feet of living space. The floorplan was arranged with daily life and large gatherings in mind—both a first-floor owner’s suite and a guest suite make single-level living effortless.

The kitchen is a standout: a “White Zen” quartz island with a waterfall edge anchors a chef-ready layout that includes chalk-painted cabinetry to the ceiling with glass display uppers, designer tile backsplash, gas range, wall oven, and a hidden walk-in pantry behind a cabinet-door entry. A butler’s pantry expands staging and storage for entertaining; the vaulted dining area adjacent to the kitchen creates a dramatic, open setting for meals and celebrations.

The owner’s retreat reads like a boutique getaway—hardwood floors, tray ceiling with accent beams, and a spa-inspired bath finished with 24x24 tile, a custom floating vanity with quartz counters, a zero-entry tile shower with frameless glass, and a sculptural black freestanding soaking tub with floor-mounted filler. An expansive, custom walk-in closet with a built-in island opens directly into the laundry room for uncommon convenience.

The family room centers on a tile-to-ceiling gas-log fireplace with built-in shelving and exposed beams, and it opens to a screened porch that features its own tile-surround outdoor fireplace—perfect for fall evenings or year-round porch-time. Upstairs offers flexible bonus spaces: a library, a game room, and a bourbon bar with a built-in wet bar, plus substantial walk-in unfinished storage. Practical features include a spacious 3-car garage and whole-house systems installed in 2023.

Hidden Lake enhances the property with community amenities—a clubhouse with veranda, outdoor pavilion, fishing pier, and a 100-acre nature preserve with hiking trails—while being just minutes to Downtown Wake Forest and about 30 minutes to downtown Raleigh and RDU. For buyers seeking a turnkey custom home with acreage, water access, and refined finishes, this is a rare offering.

Hidden Lake blends low-density privacy with community amenities—clubhouse with veranda, outdoor pavilion, fishing pier, and a 100-acre nature preserve with hiking trails create a resort-like environment without long commutes. The neighborhood sits just minutes from Downtown Wake Forest’s boutiques, cafes, and breweries, while Raleigh and RDU are roughly a 30-minute drive. For families and outdoor enthusiasts, Falls Lake and local greenways expand recreational options beyond the community, delivering a balanced lifestyle of convenience and escape.
