Property Description

Nestled on approximately two private wooded acres in one of the Triangle's most desirable locations, this custom Zinn Design Build home offers a rare opportunity to enjoy modern luxury with the serenity of a private retreat—all just minutes from Duke, UNC, downtown Chapel Hill, and downtown Durham. Designed with both flexibility and everyday living in mind, the thoughtfully crafted floor plan features four bedrooms, including both the primary suite and a secondary bedroom on the main level. Light-filled living spaces, soaring ceilings, timeless finishes, and expansive windows create a seamless connection between the home's sophisticated interior and the surrounding natural landscape. While the home offers the feel of new construction, it goes well beyond builder-grade expectations. Since completion, the property has been enhanced with an impressive collection of premium upgrades, including a whole-house Generac generator, whole-house surge protection, RainSoft water treatment system, Halo UV HVAC purification, whole-house media filtration, heated and cooled garage, integrated security cameras, remote-access entry features, and an owned in-ground propane tank. Outside, the investment continues. Extensive professional landscaping, landscape lighting, irrigation, a fenced backyard, retaining wall, hard-piped drainage system, upgraded gutters with guards, and completed outdoor living enhancements mean the next owner can simply move in and enjoy the property from day one. Custom homes offering this level of craftsmanship, privacy, and infrastructure—combined with an unbeatable location—rarely become available. This is a home where exceptional design meets thoughtful ownership, creating a truly turnkey opportunity.
