Gorgeous, Sophisticated Duke Forest Contemporary. A masterfully designed Goforth/Leon Meyers collaboration brings nature into every space, beautifully sited on a large private wooded lot at the end of a cul-de-sac. Walls of sliding glass doors along the entire back of the main level open onto an expansive 1500 sf deck designed for gathering, dining, quiet mornings and relaxing evenings among the trees. This stunning home boasts full southern views onto the deep private oversized lot. Incredible first floor layout flows beautifully from a double height entry/dining room lit with a large Noguchi Washi lantern, spacious living room with wood-burning fireplace, front to back eat-in kitchen, connected to a lovely family room with stone wall gas fireplace. Generously sized two car garage connects through a huge flex space (craft studio/home gym/workshop?) with ample cabinetry and half bath. There is also a first floor bedroom with en suite full bath. Upstairs offers a huge primary bedroom with wood-burning fireplace, a walkout balcony overlooking the rear of the property, a large walk-in closet and spacious skylit bathroom. Head down a windowed ''indoor bridge'' to two additional bedrooms, a beautiful office/study with built-in bookcases and dual desks plus a private balcony, a huge bonus space with two oversized walk-in storage closets and a laundry room- each room graced with a wall of windows welcoming views and tons of natural light. This house absolutely has it all: move-in ready, beautifully maintained, ideal spacious layout. 8 Womble Circle blends contemporary design, expansive living spaces, and a connection to nature, all in one of Durham's most desirable neighborhoods. Unbeatable location. Walkable to Duke's West Campus, less than 10 minutes to Downtown Durham, 25 minutes to RDU Airport.
