The Ashford: New Construction Home in North Hills, Raleigh
The Ashford at 806 Tyrrell Road is a new construction custom home in North Hills, finished in 2026 by Tobacco Road Custom Builders and now for sale. It has five bedrooms, five and a half baths, a first-floor primary suite and a private elevator serving three finished levels, on a fenced lot a few minutes from North Hills. Here is what sets it apart, with a link to the full listing at the end.
A new home on an established North Hills street
The Ashford sits on a 0.28-acre lot in North Hills Estates, close to the shops and restaurants at North Hills. The exterior pairs brick with fiber cement in a transitional style that fits the houses around it. A side-load two-car garage keeps the front of the house clean, and the back yard is fenced with wood privacy fencing.
Inside are 5,503 square feet across three finished levels. Read more about building and buying custom in North Hills.
A first-floor primary suite and a private elevator
The primary suite is on the main level. The bath is designed as a spa-style retreat with a walk-in shower. The closet has an illuminated purse display, pull-out shoe drawers and direct access to the laundry room, so clothes move from closet to washer and back without crossing the house.
A private elevator serves all three levels. With the primary suite on the first floor, the house works for owners planning to stay a long time, for visiting parents, and for moving furniture or luggage between floors. The listing notes aging-in-place features on the main level.
A kitchen with a scullery behind it
The kitchen has Thermador appliances, walnut cabinetry with glass-front accents and quartz counters. Behind it is a separate scullery finished in marble tile with its own custom cabinets, plus a butler's pantry. Prep and cleanup happen there, out of sight, so the main kitchen stays presentable when people are over.
The living room is anchored by a fireplace under a custom wood ceiling. Lighting throughout is by Visual Comfort. Off the garage, a custom drop zone gives bags, shoes and keys a place to land.
A theater upstairs and a speakeasy below
Upstairs are three more bedrooms, a media room set up as a theater, and a playroom.
The finished basement walks out to the back yard. It holds a second living room, a guest suite, walk-in storage and a speakeasy. The speakeasy is finished in walnut cabinetry and custom woodwork, with a hammered gold sink, an ice machine and a beverage refrigerator. For a household that hosts, the basement works as its own floor: guests can stay, gather and step outside without passing through the main level.
Outdoor living on two levels
Off the main level, an upper deck has retractable Phantom screens, so it works as an open deck or a screened porch depending on the season. Below it, a bluestone patio has a built-in grill and a linear gas fire pit. That gives the house two outdoor rooms on a lot that is private without being oversized.

Built for the long run
Some of what matters most in a new home is behind the walls. The Ashford uses spray foam insulation, a tankless water heater, a water purification system, energy-efficient lighting and thermostats, and a prewired security system. These shape how the house feels day to day and what it costs to run for years to come.
Seen on the 2026 Triangle Parade of Homes
The Ashford was Tobacco Road Custom Builders' entry in the 2026 Triangle Parade of Homes, the annual tour run by the Home Builders Association of Raleigh-Wake County. Visitors walked the finished, staged house across three weekends in October. The home is now available to buyers.
