Al Fresco Living: The Outdoor Oasis at 5209 Windmere Chase Drive
In my latest blog, A Day in the Life: Turn-Key Luxury at 5209 Windmere Chase Drive, we took a look at what standard daily living would be like inside this spectacular 3,863-square-foot Raleigh estate. But with mid-summer weather in full swing across North Carolina, the true focal point of home life shifts outside.
Listed at $749,900, this Craftsman in Raleigh’s desirable Belmont community offers an outdoor setup designed to act as a seamless extension of the main floor’s luxury.
Here is a closer look at what makes the backyard and outdoor living space at 5209 Windmere Chase Drive a true sanctuary for relaxing and entertaining.
1. The Welcome: Classic Rocking-Chair Front Porch
The outdoor experience begins at the front entrance. A classic Carolina rocking-chair porch welcomes you and your guests, providing the perfect shady spot for a morning coffee or a quiet chat with neighbors in this peaceful pocket of Northeast Raleigh.
2. A Dual-Level Backyard Entertainment Zone
The main floor’s living area leads you directly into a thoughtfully planned, dual-level outdoor retreat.
- The Screened-In Porch: Ideal for humid summer afternoons or quiet evenings, the screened porch gives you a breeze and outdoor views completely bug-free. It’s an effortless spot for dining al fresco or reading with a cold drink.
- The Stamped Concrete Deck: Leaving from the porch brings you onto a stamped concrete deck designed to handle large gatherings. The decorative finish gives it a polished, high-end feel while remaining durable and low-maintenance.
3. Dedicated Gas Line: Grill-Master Ready
Forget wrestling with heavy propane tanks or running out of fuel mid-barbecue. The deck features a dedicated exterior gas hookup, letting you plug your grill directly into the home’s natural gas line. Whether you’re hosting a weekend cookout or searing a quick weeknight dinner, your outdoor kitchen setup is permanently ready to go.
4. Privacy, Landscaping, and Custom Detail
The backyard is completely enclosed by a six-foot privacy fence, creating a secluded oasis for pets, kids, or private gatherings.
Custom hardscaping elevates the space beyond a standard lawn:
- Custom Brick Garden Beds: Beautifully framed planting areas ready for your summer blooms or herb garden.
- Stamped Concrete Walkways: Clean, decorative pathways connecting the entertaining spaces seamlessly.
5. Built From the Ground Up for Quality
Even what’s under the deck matters. The home sits on a six-foot deep, fully conditioned and sealed crawlspace with brick-to-grade on all sides, ensuring superior foundation health, moisture control, and energy efficiency year-round.
