The Poppy
THE REAL ESTATE STUDIO’S DESIGNER LOOKBOOK
2025 Triangle Parade of Homes Silver Winner
The Poppy is a 2025 Parade of Homes silver award winner that captures the essence of refined living. From its stately cul-de-sac setting to its pool-ready backyard and finished basement, every element has been designed with intention and sophistication. Inside, architectural rhythm defines the experience—arched openings, layered textures, and a flow that feels both elegant and effortless. Natural light moves through wide-plank floors, sculpted details, and crafted mill work, creating a sense of warmth that complements the home’s grandeur.
The kitchen and scullery reflect a devotion to both form and function, where professional-grade appliances meet thoughtful artistry in every cabinet line and finish. Entertaining spaces—indoors and out—extend gracefully, from the stone fireplace and glass wine display to the screened porch and open-air deck beyond. Blending timeless craftsmanship with modern sensibility, The Poppy stands as a study in balance—where every surface, proportion, and detail contributes to a home that is as welcoming as it is impeccably designed.

The Heart of the Home, Perfected A Kitchen That Marries Style, Function, and Everyday Elegance Bathed in soft Sherwin-Williams® Alabaster with crisp white trim, this kitchen is the perfect blend of elegance and livability. A 10-foot island with hidden storage and seating on three sides anchors the space beneath striking designer pendants, while Calacatta Quartz countertops, a flared cabinet hood, and curated display shelves add refined sophistication. Equipped for both everyday cooking and entertaining, the Thermador® appliance suite—including a 48-inch double oven gas range, paneled dishwasher, and built-in refrigerator and freezer—pairs seamlessly with a farmhouse-style Kingston Brass® sink and Studio McGee® wall-mount pot filler. Thoughtful touches like built-in spice pullouts, hidden trash, and a scullery kitchen with extra appliances keep the space organized and practical. Flowing effortlessly to the family room and outdoor living areas, the kitchen is both a functional hub and a centerpiece for gatherings. Fluted tile backsplash, floating shelves, and designer lighting bring texture and warmth to the scullery kitchen, while the walk-in pantry offers custom storage. It’s a space that balances luxury and everyday life, perfectly capturing the essence of this Parade of Homes silver winner.

Timeless Craft Meets Modern Hospitality Warm Wood, Arched Openings, and Brass Accents Set the Tone The six-lite mahogany friends door, finished in Minwax® Natural, immediately draws the eye, offering a sense of welcome and refinement. Beneath an elegant arched opening, a matching wooden bench invites pause, while two bohemian-style brass sconces cast a soft glow that highlights the natural wood tones and handcrafted detail. This entryway is more than an architectural feature—it embodies the spirit of connection and hospitality. Guests are encouraged to linger on the bench, fostering conversation, reflection, or simply a moment of calm before entering the home. Every detail, from the warm finish to the curated lighting, speaks to comfort, care, and thoughtful design. Beyond its emotional resonance, this feature also brings tangible value to the home. It enhances curb appeal, elevates first impressions, and subtly signals the quality and attention to detail found throughout the residence. It’s a space that balances beauty, function, and feeling, creating an entrance that is as meaningful as it is memorable.

Where Design Meets Downtime

A Space Designed for Connection and Comfort The Poppy’s finished basement offers a retreat that feels as intentional and elevated as the levels above. Designed for connection and comfort, the space centers around a generous living area and custom wet bar—an ideal setting for game nights, casual gatherings, or quiet evenings in. Every element, from lighting to material continuity, reflects the craftsmanship and warmth that define the home. A dedicated drop zone and mud bench make everyday living effortless, while the full bedroom and bath provide a private haven for guests or extended family. Equally suited for entertaining or unwinding, the lower level captures the essence of modern Southern living—grounded in comfort, enriched by design, and crafted to be lived in beautifully.

About the Architect For over two decades, Michael McMillan has been shaping the way North Carolina lives. As founder and principal of McMillan Design, his award-winning residential design firm has become synonymous with innovation, craftsmanship, and homes that feel as good as they look. With more than 25 years of residential and structural design experience, McMillan has built a reputation for transforming ideas into architectural realities that balance beauty, comfort, and practicality. From custom builds to full renovations, McMillan Design partners with builders, realtors, and homeowners to create spaces that stand out—often recognized through repeated Parade of Homes honors across the Triangle. The firm’s philosophy is rooted in accessibility and creativity: to make great design not only attainable, but enjoyable. Every project begins with a simple promise—to turn a client’s vision of a house into the home they truly need. At The Poppy, that vision comes vividly to life. The home’s architectural rhythm, thoughtful flow, and balanced proportions reflect McMillan Design’s signature touch: timeless yet fresh, refined yet livable. In collaboration with The Real Estate Studio, McMillan Design helped define The Poppy as more than a showcase home—it’s a modern expression of North Carolina design at its most inspiring.

About The Real Estate Studio At The Real Estate Studio, real estate is reimagined through the lens of hospitality and design. Founded on the idea that buying or selling a home should feel as curated and seamless as the spaces themselves, The Studio blends industry expertise with a refined sense of experience. Every interaction, every detail, and every client relationship reflects their commitment to doing things differently—thoughtfully, beautifully, and with purpose. For The Poppy, The Studio served as more than just the listing brokerage—they were storytellers. Their approach extends beyond transactions, focusing on how design, lifestyle, and community intersect. By showcasing The Poppy through their signature experience-first perspective, The Studio helped translate architecture and craftsmanship into emotion, connecting people not just to a home, but to a feeling. Rooted in collaboration and elevated by design, The Real Estate Studio continues to set a new standard for what a modern real estate experience can be. The Poppy exemplifies their ethos: that exceptional homes deserve equally exceptional representation.
