Design-Build in Country Club Hills
Additions and renovations in Country Club Hills
You have a big lot near the golf course and a house built decades ago. We help you decide what to keep, then build it right.
Custom lots beside the country club
Country Club Hills was platted in the mid-1940s next to the Carolina Country Club golf course. Buyers bought a lot and hired their own builder to put up a custom house.
A handful of the first houses, from about 1950, are modern designs by NC State School of Design architects. Ranch and Colonial Revival houses far outnumber them.
Keep the house or start over?
By our count of Wake County records, about four in ten houses here were built in 2000 or later. The typical lot is about half an acre.
An original ranch on a lot that size often has room to grow on one level: a primary suite, a bigger kitchen, or a suite for a parent. When the house isn’t worth saving, we build custom homes too.
What the rules allow
Country Club Hills isn’t a historic district and has no conservation overlay. Only its designated Raleigh Historic Landmarks need historic review.
Most of it is zoned R-4, where Raleigh’s infill rules set your front setback from the houses around you and limit how tall a wall can be near the side lot line. We check them during Design and handle permits with the City of Raleigh.

Country Club Hills questions
Do I need historic approval to renovate in Country Club Hills?
Only if your house is a designated Raleigh Historic Landmark. A few houses here are, and exterior changes to them need a Certificate of Appropriateness.
The rest of the neighborhood has no historic review.
How close to my neighbors can an addition be?
In most of the neighborhood, Raleigh’s infill rules apply. A wall near the side property line can be 25 feet tall, or as tall as the two neighboring walls average, and it can rise a foot for each foot it steps back.
We model this during Design, before you commit.
Can you add a primary suite to a ranch house?
Often, yes. Lots here are large, so there’s often room to add one on the main level.
We check your setbacks and the infill rules during Design.
