Property Description
Welcome to elevated living on Edwards Mountain! Tucked behind the gates of Governors Club, this exceptional custom estate was designed by architect Keith Shaw and sits beautifully on a private .76-acre hilltop homesite with gorgeous views and unforgettable sunsets. From the moment you step inside, the home makes an impression-soaring 10-20 ft ceilings, walls of natural light, hardwood floors on both levels, beautiful millwork, custom built-ins and stunning carved sandstone fireplaces. And then there's the kitchen! Custom Thompson cabinetry, an oversized granite island, Viking gas range, Sub-Zero refrigerator and walk-in pantry with Dacor wall oven create a true chef's kitchen, while the expansive butler's pantry with wine storage and U-Line refrigeration is ready for entertaining. (Many updates have been completed from 2022 forward-please see the Special Features document for additional details.) The main-level owner's suite is a retreat all its own, complete with a sitting area, spacious spa-like bath and incredible custom dressing and wardrobe area. Upstairs, everyone gets their own space with three additional en-suite bedrooms, a reading loft, media/bonus room, sauna and climate-controlled storage. The outdoor living may just become your favorite part-a screened porch, covered stone terrace, outdoor kitchen, built-in speakers, lush landscaping and a beautiful private waterfall create an incredible backdrop for morning coffee, dinner with friends or a glass of wine as the sun goes down. This home has been exceptionally well cared for, and it shows. Major updates include furnaces approximately 3 years old, HVAC systems under 7 years old and 50-year shingles, along with Control4 whole-home audio, Lutron lighting, plantation shutters, generator, whole-house water filtration, tankless water heaters, a 3-car garage and numerous additional updates. A pre-listing home inspection has also been completed, offering buyers additional insight and confidence in a home that has been thoughtfully maintained. All of this just minutes from UNC, Duke, RTP, RDU, dining, shopping and world-class healthcare. Luxury and privacy without feeling too far away-and a home that is anything but ordinary.
