    What's special

    When the sun rises or sets over 255 Emmet Thorton Road you can't help but feel like you're standing inside a movie set. The most picturesque, private estate on nearly 11 acres of rolling Carolina countryside. With all the comfort of small town living still right outside downtown Raleigh or the beaches of Wilmington. Head down the tree-lined driveway to a custom-built home that has only ever had one owner. Designed by a celebrated architect, the Williamsburg-style architecture is marked by a cedar shingle roof. Inside awaits your personal touch. A remodeled kitchen designed to host big gatherings and walk-out dinners on the back deck. In the living room, fill the built-in bookcases with your collection. Calling the first floor Master a ''suite'' would not do it justice. A private office is tucked into one corner right before you enter the absolutely palatial, spa-like bathroom. His & Hers vanities, an expansive walk-in closet and handicap accessible, floor-to-ceiling tiled shower. The finished basement has played host to many a family night with a kitchenette, wood-burning fireplace and separate wet bar room, covering every entertaining need year-round. Open the patio door and let the breeze roll in off the pasture. Through the trees you can see the stocked fishing pond and the wired barn. Car collectors, equipment operators, keepers of just about anything will be pressed to run out of storage room inside the detached, two-bay, wired and plumbed warehouse. Next door, a bespoke dog kennel replicating the main house and a petite Garden House. Once a General Store in Newton Grove at risk of demolition, the structure was relocated onto the property to be saved and enjoyed for another 100 years. As a home office or play house, it is a piece of North Carolina history you get to live in.
