Description

A rare offering of privacy, intelligent design, and understated luxury--this is a home for those who value space, sustainability, craftsmanship, and a meaningful connection to the natural surroundings. Tucked away on a serene 2.01-acre homesite between Pittsboro and Chapel Hill, this custom-designed 3-bedroom, 3-bath passive solar residence offers approximately 2,429 square feet of artfully planned living space where privacy, craftsmanship, and sustainability come together beautifully. Thoughtfully oriented to capture natural light and enhance energy efficiency, the home showcases sophisticated passive solar design elements including strategic window placement, brick flooring, underground concrete walls, roof overhangs, and natural shade that work in harmony with the landscape. Inside, refined details create a warm yet distinctive sense of place, from the renovated kitchen with granite countertops, hand-laid tile, and an adjoining herb garden into the dining and family room anchored by a handcrafted wood-burning fireplace. A partially underground family room with a Baby Bear woodstove adds architectural character while supporting the home's efficient solar performance. The living room has hardwood flooring, access to deck overlooking back yard, and masonry wood-burning fireplace. The spacious primary suite offers a tranquil retreat with a cedar walk-in closet and custom bath including separate shower, jetted tub and custom cabinetry. Recent enhancements, including a new roof and new hot water heater, complement two regularly maintained Trane HVAC heat pump systems for year-round comfort. Outdoors, the property continues to impress with a fenced backyard, wired workshop with air compressor, multiple storage buildings for vehicles, boats, and equipment, and Duke Energy-approved wiring for a portable generator. A rare blend of quiet luxury, intelligent design, and natural beauty--just minutes from the conveniences of Pittsboro and Chapel HIll.
