Truly a one-of-a-kind exquisite estate home, featured by NC Modernist. Privacy and proximity with this 10 secluded acres of hardwood forest at the end of a private road near 1,300 acres of conserved land. 30 minutes to RDU and 20 to both Duke and UNC! This energy efficient home features soaring steel-beamed ceilings with oversized windows that flood the space with natural light and open to patios and decks. Solid and built to last- so much so that one inspector named it ''The Last House Standing''! The 1,000 sq ft open Great Room is a canvas ready for your lifestyle: dining and entertaining, art studio, bedroom, living area, or all of these at once! All rooms are on the ground floor except for the guest bedroom and cat-walk with a library and comfy reading area featuring magnificent views of the gardens. The roof is pitched for ideal solar panel installation. Beyond the Great Room is the well appointed Chef's Kitchen. Featuring Wolf range, SubZero fridge, stainless steel counters, wall oven and 8' dining table plus a large pantry. There's also a brand new stackable LG washer and dryer set! Step from the kitchen to a hall connecting the over 440 sqft Owners Suite - elegantly understated and thoughtfully designed to be a haven away from the activity of the main house. Indoor-outdoor living flows from these rooms to a screen porch, large patio area, second floor deck over the huge carport. So ready for hosting parties and events! And don't forget the detached heated and cooled Studio with screened porch and deck! Ideal for crafts, reading, writing or an ultra quiet office. Over 3 acres of garden space surrounds the home featuring 4 seasons of beauty with native and Japanese plants- all protected by an inconspicuous deer fence. This home will appeal to those who value quality, the natural world & creativity. If you desire a special place to recharge your soul, come experience this home!
