Property Description

Exquisitely reimagined, this Goforth custom contemporary is a true statement home in the coveted golf course community of The Oaks. A
welcoming foyer with crab orchard stone flooring sets the tone, introducing the home's distinctive architecture, clean lines, and walls of windows that bathe the interior in natural light. The expansive family room is both inviting
and sophisticated, anchored by a gas log fireplace flanked by custom built-ins. Just beyond, the dining room impresses with a designer chandelier, vaulted ceiling, and dramatic walls of windows that frame serene views. The beautifully renovated kitchen is as functional as it is stylish, featuring quartz
countertops, custom cabinetry, a designer backsplash, updated plumbing fixtures, and all-new appliances, including a KitchenAid range, Thermador microwave, and Bosch dishwasher. With views to both the front and rear grounds, the kitchen flows seamlessly into the breakfast nook, which leads one way to a sunlit home office with built-ins, and in the other direction the family room and its serving bar with a beverage fridge. The thoughtfully updated laundry room offers custom cabinetry, new counters, updated lighting, and exceptional pantry storage. Privately situated on the opposite wing, a spacious bedroom opens to its own deck and enjoys a bathroom with
an updated vanity, countertops, and designer mirror. Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite is a true sanctuary, with a dramatic vaulted ceiling, striking windows, and a beautifully appointed bath featuring a dual-sink vanity,
updated finishes, a soaking tub, and a separate shower. Two additional bedrooms on this level each offer ensuite baths with elevated updates.
Outdoor living is equally compelling, with gracious front stairs leading to a covered porch, a generous deck overlooking the fenced backyard, and curated landscaping that enhances both beauty and privacy. A porte cochere accommodates two vehicles, while the circular drive provides effortless arrival. The unfinished lower-level entry provides everyday convenience and versatile space for a drop zone, workshop, or hobby area. Hoping for a main level primary suite? You're in luck! The owners worked with an architect to draw plans to convert the current main level guest suite into a thoughtfully designed primary suite, which would include a proposed primary bathroom addition and two closets. Additionally, the current main level bathroom would be reconfigured into a powder room for
guests. The owners went through the permitting process with the Town of Chapel Hill for this project and have received an approved permit (see Documents tab)! They've done the heavy lifting for you! From this special home, enjoy a short walk to the Chapel Hill Country Club and easy access to the shops and dining of Meadowmont, East 54, and Glen Lennox. UNC, downtown Chapel Hill, and I-40 are all just minutes away. Enjoy refined living in one of Chapel Hill's most sought-after communities.
