This Mansion Monday, we’re going modern, and this south Raleigh home near Lake Wheeler is filled with luxe contemporary allure.

With four beds, six baths, and conveniently located between Raleigh and Cary, this home is truly one-of-a-kind. Some of our favorite features include the 12-foot ceilings, the custom birch doors, the floating staircase, and a private in-law suite.

If that’s not enough, you’ll have over 5,000 sqft indoors and 3.87 acres outside your front door with 70 recently planted trees that will mature into even more privacy.

For even more stunning homes, check out the Triangle Parade of Homes.

News Notes

Plan Ahead

Go bananas. The Savannah Bananas are bringing their exhibition baseball game back to the Triangle at UNC-Chapel Hill’s football stadium on April 11. Join the Bananas ticket lottery to get your seats — you aren’t going to want to miss this.

Try This

Folks on r/raleigh are talking about alternative date night ideas around the Triangle. Save yourself the scroll and check out our list of date nights for every type of Raleighite.

Sports

The North Carolina Courage has secured $10 million in debt financing from its investors — including Capital Broadcasting Company — and owner + majority backer Steve Malik is still looking for another major capital deal. (Triangle Business Journal)

Read

The nominees are out for this year’s National Book Awards, with some stellar books on the docket. Categories include fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and translated works. Whatever your choice of read, we recommend picking up something written by a Raleighite. (NPR)

Watch

Prepare the bleep censor — Chef Gordon Ramsay has yet another TV show. “Knife Edge: Chasing Michelin Stars” recently premiered on Apple+ and follows restaurants’ high-stakes hunt for stars of their own. Although Raleigh isn’t in the Michelin Guide yet, we think our food scene deserves to be. (Reuters)

Active

Cristiano Ronaldo is the first soccer player in history to accrue a net worth of $1 billion, per Bloomberg statistics. Currently plying his trade in Saudi Arabia, the 40-year-old shows no sign of calling it quits anytime soon. If you start by bringing a ball to a local park with your kid, maybe they’ll amass a similar fortune.

Happy Monday, Raleigh. This weekend, I went back to Cheeni, which is quickly becoming one of my favorite restaurants in the area. Plus, it’s in a great spot before a show at DPAC or have a night on the town in Durham.
