The present owner bought this lot in 1999 and hired architect Kim Anderson to design this contemporary, light filled, single-level home. Bill Worthington built it in 2000-2001. Featured in Jim Shamp's News and Observer Houses of Interest column in 2003, the home is perfectly sited on its 2.24 acre lot, perched on a gentle knoll in the quiet Eno River State Park—wrapped neighborhood Eno Woods. Inside find soaring ceilings and clerestory windows that add delightful, even, all-day light. The primary suite and secondary bedrooms are on different sides of the house, allowing for end-of-day, much-needed privacy, while the social spaces flow elegantly into each other. Maple Select #1 hardwoods throughout with Brazilian Cherry inlay in the foyer. The garage is attached to the house by a covered breezeway and includes two parking bays, a workshop bay, plus additional open-rafter storage overhead. The HVAC equipment is covered by an annually renewable service agreement with Bowman Mechanical, and there is an AT&T fiber optic easement along the northwest edge of the property. There is a Pass and Seymour Legrand whole house surge protector. See features document for more technology details! A quick shot down Cole Mill gets you to downtown, 15-501, I-40 in just an easy ten minutes; or head north/west for more Eno River access (Few's Ford anyone?) and Hillsborough, or a quick jaunt east on Rose of Sharon to Picnic or the new (being built) Publix. Of course, you may never want to leave this quiet haven, and you don't have to with its dedicated study that lends itself to remote work life and a conveyable Mitsubishi generator that can power you through any short-term power disruption. Grab your binoculars and head out to the covered back porch to watch for hawks and owls and every variety of songbird. ... Laurel Creek start to finish offers welcome respite.
