Gold Medal Winner, 2025 Parade of Homes - this modern masterpiece by Dunning Custom Homes is a rare offering in The Estates at Laurel Ridge, a gated enclave of estate homesites near Pittsboro. Set on 4.92 private acres at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this 6,448-square-foot residence overlooks a flowing creek and mature hardwood forest, delivering the seclusion of a mountain retreat with the convenience of the Triangle. The main level opens to soaring ceilings and floor-to-ceiling glass panel walls that frame panoramic views of the wooded landscape. A wood-clad ceiling anchors the great room, where a dramatic black stone fireplace wall draws the eye and oversized pendant lighting sets a warm, modern tone. The chef's kitchen features a professional-grade range, waterfall stone island with seating, custom dark wood cabinetry, and a dedicated scullery - purpose-built for serious entertaining. A formal dining room with gallery-quality proportions connects to a covered outdoor living space with a built-in stone grill kitchen, cable-rail detailing, and views into the tree canopy. The main-level primary suite is a true retreat: a wall of windows overlooking the creek, a spa-inspired bathroom with black matte freestanding soaking tub, natural stone and oak paneling, dual vanities, and a designer walk-in closet with built-in cabinetry and library ladder. Additional main-level bedrooms and or office each have private baths, and a mudroom drop zone keeps the entry organized. A striking circular staircase -one of the home's architectural signatures -descends to the finished daylight lower level, where the entertaining continues with a stone-accented wet bar, family room, game room, yoga or flex space, study, and additional bedrooms with private baths. A second laundry room on this level adds everyday convenience. A residential elevator serves both floors. The oversized three-car side-entry garage offers generous storage. Outside, a winding stone path leads through the wooded acreage down to the creek - a private nature trail on your own property. Laurel Ridge is located just five minutes from Chapel Ridge Golf Club and ten minutes from the shops, restaurants, and entertainment of Chatham Park and Mosaic. Jordan Lake recreation and the Haw River are minutes away, with downtown Chapel Hill and the western Raleigh-RTP corridor each roughly 20 minutes. Connected to Aqua water and sewer - no well or septic required, a rarity for estate-sized lots in Chatham County. This is luxury new construction with acreage, privacy, and proximity that is exceptionally difficult to find in today's Triangle market.
