This $4.7 million home just went on the market, and we’re already obsessed with it. Owned by the former CEO of Burt’s Bees, the 8,000 sqft home has it all.

One look at this home and you’ll understand the price point, with everything from six en-suite bedrooms and a chef’s kitchen to an outdoor sauna, and its prime location in the Beltline makes all parts of Raleigh easily accessible. Plus, the home features an original artwork by Raleigh artist Thomas Sayre — sold separately.

After undergoing a comprehensive renovation in 2014, this home is filled with craftsman quality and modern amenities, like three Tesla powerwalls, whole-home water filtration, and a heated saltwater pool. If this home sounds up your alley, contact Melanie Jones for more information.
