Off the market, while owners shelter in place (no better place to hold-up!). View high-resolution video on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYCA5gnhVCQ)! All the convenience of living in the city with all of the quiet and space of country living, this immaculate home is in the highly desired First Mountain Estate area of Governors Club, a gated community in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, featuring a beautiful 27-hole golf course designed by Jack Nicklaus. From 2017 to 2019, this lovely home was renovated, restyled, and refreshed - both inside and out - with no expense spared. The stunning kitchen renovation includes state-of-the-art appliances from Thermador, Monogram, and Bosch with finishes from Waterstone. Many of the main living area light fixtures were replaced with Visual Comfort lighting pieces that are like works of art. Additionally, a MERV16 (Hospital Grade) air filtration and humidity control system was installed - providing improved indoor air quality for those with allergies or asthma -- and a whole-house water filtration system was installed to provide the ultimate in healthy living. With stunning views, this home sits on a lot that is a true gem! It provides privacy on every side with its lush tree canopy, while also having a brilliant landscaping plan that allows the home to be flooded with morning and afternoon sunlight. The floor plan is an entertainer's dream, with gracious rooms that are ideal for both intimate and large-scale entertaining. There is no lovelier way to start and end the day - or a dinner party - than with time spent on the glorious terrace with its European styled fountain, which was installed in 2018, but looks like it has been there for ages. Additionally, there are technical updates behind the scenes that make every day living more enjoyable in this home - such as a dedicated server and mechanical room; a new furnace on the main level; advanced insulation improvements (including all new attic insulation and HVAC ductwork); and complete crawlspace encapsulation. The property features full landscaping improvements, including a new irrigation system with an app-driven interface; 122 new boxwoods; 22 hydrangeas; and a redesign of the stone terrace. The home features glorious windows, beautiful vaulted and tray ceilings, a 25-foot high ceiling in the foyer and family room, along with a three-car garage. In a quiet cul de sac on a beautiful street, this home is a must see!
