Raleigh Custom Homes is set to debut its most ambitious project yet, The Vanderbilt, a $9.5 million estate that will be a centerpiece of the 2026 Triangle Parade of Homes. Located in the prestigious North Ridge neighborhood, the 9,630-square-foot home offers sweeping views of the Lakes Course and is scheduled for completion in September 2026.
The property is designed to cater to both grand entertaining and private living, featuring five bedrooms, seven full bathrooms, and a half bath. An elevator provides access to all levels, while the main living areas include a chef's kitchen and a scullery with a commercial-grade walk-in refrigerator. For wellness and recreation, the home includes an exercise room, sauna, and golf simulator, as well as an outdoor pool and a four-car garage.
This unveiling is significant not only for its price point but for what it represents in the Triangle's luxury housing market. As one of the region's most anticipated home showcases, the Parade of Homes event attracts thousands of visitors, and The Vanderbilt is poised to set a new benchmark for upscale living. The home's amenities reflect a growing trend among high-end buyers who seek properties that offer both comfort and resort-style features without leaving home.
According to the builder, The Vanderbilt is located on a premier lot overlooking the #1 and #17 greens, with a short walk to the North Ridge Country Club. The home's design emphasizes both aesthetic elegance and functional sophistication, appealing to buyers who value craftsmanship and innovation.
The Triangle Parade of Homes, spanning three weekends in October, will offer public and media tours of The Vanderbilt and other exclusive entries.
