Beautiful hilltop home nestled on over 11 acres, with fabulous views and amazing sunsets. This custom 4 bed and 3.5 bath home was built to capture ambient light from both the east and west. The home is a private retreat, with ample one floor living, great flow and a fantastic in-ground pool and deck area for entertaining small or large parties.

The property has so much to offer : space for gardening, chickens, hiking in the woods or walking along the private asphalt drive that winds its way throughout the community. The oversized garage with high ceilings can easily accommodate a hobbyist wood worker or a car enthusiast. The second floor has a one bedroom suite, a large bonus room and walk in storage with over 200 sq ft of space. Lumos high speed fiber connects the home to the internet, so that work from home and heavy streaming content users can coexist. peacefully. Located just 5.4 miles from downtown historic Hillsborough and convenient to Durham, Chapel Hill and RTP, homes with this acreage and amenities are getting very hard to find.
