This is not your ordinary, run of the mill home. It's a truly one-of-a-kind, extraordinarily custom-built home with such attention to quality and detail! The owners built this as their forever dream home, but life changes are requiring an out of state move. The lucky new owners will be able to take advantage of their smart, creative and energy efficient design. The stunning lot in this bucolic neighborhood serves as the spectacular backdrop with beautiful views from all angles. The welcoming front porch leads to a regal two-story entry foyer which highlights the home's show stopping curved staircase along with views straight out to the serene and private wooded backyard. Soaring cathedral and vaulted ceilings of various heights adorn the main level. Heavy crown molding and coffered ceilings also add an eloquent touch. Both chefs and guests alike will enjoy the well-appointed and gorgeous gourmet kitchen with quartzite countertops and a HUGE center island. The butler pantry/scullery includes a wet bar and beverage refrigerator. There are three stone fireplaces in this home including one on the screened porch. The expansive Trex deck goes along the back of the home and connects the screen porch to a charming, covered gazebo area. This home is super cozy and quiet for intimate family time but works equally well for entertaining groups of any size. Details such as a walk-up attic, spray-foam insulation, sealed crawlspace, 5 separate HVAC zones (two heat pump systems), and a whole house natural gas generator are testaments to the thought and care that went into building this home. All of this on 2.3 acres just a few miles north of downtown Chapel Hill! Easy access to I-40, UNC, & Duke.
