Imagine living with 360° elevated dramatic scenic views of farmland, gardens and art. Fondly calling their nest 'Birdland' (an amazing array of feathered friends also call it home), current owners have embraced its farmhouse modernist style. Gracious, one level living was inspired by William Wurster, modernist architect known for paying keen attention to the site; designing in harmony with the environment, incorporating simplicity and unadorned materials. Designed by AIA award-winning architect of Durham Performing Arts Center Phil Szostak, this home is one of his favorite works. Enter the motor court adorned with antique lanterns through an allée of blooming crape myrtles. Lush landscaping and the sound of a goldfish pond fountain greets you. The impressive foyer stretches the entire length of the home, a perfect gallery for art and entertaining. Light-filled, luxurious spaces include a generous family room, separate dining with butler pantry and curated, recently renovated, eat-in kitchen plus additional pantry. Romantic main bedroom offers cozy window seat, spacious walk-in closet with laundry and gorgeous bath PLUS outdoor shower. Beautiful en suite bedroom attached by breezeway off the kitchen and well-planned one bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, living room suite over the 2 car EV equipped garage adds options for family and/or guests. New art studio with full bath and access to upstairs suite is under construction. New owners are invited to shape it to their needs: i.e. office, gym, bedroom, studio... WELCOME TO BIRDLAND WHERE THE SUNSETS ARE GRAND AND THERE IS ALWAYS A BREEZE
